Lucia’s home is lovely. A light and bright feel throughout, thoughtfully furnished (with the most comfortable daybed ever in the living room), well located. This was my first trip to the Santa Cruz area, and my husband and I met my mom here for my 40th birthday. This location was in walking distance to a beautiful and semi-private beach, also easily walkable to the heart of capitola with shops and restaurants and a larger beach. Santa Cruz was a quick drive away, and we were happy to be a bit removed from the more touristy vibes of the boardwalk and downtown. Lucia’s home is set up really well if you are traveling with kids. Just a super comfortable and accessible and clean place to settle and explore the surrounding Monterey Bay Area!
