We had a wonderful stay at Curtis' beach house! We traveled with a 2.5 year old toddler and 4 month old, and the house had all the amenities we were looking for: close to beaches; clean; kid-friendly w/children's dinnerware, pack 'n play, infant bathtub that Curtis immediately bought when I inquired about this, kids toys; beach blankets/chair and more; washer & dryer. Bring pack 'n play sheets if you plan to use it. We loved enjoying the cool breeze with the swing-out kitchen window too!
Curtis and Mistry were the most responsive and communicative hosts we've had, not to mention very welcoming. We enjoyed the welcome basket and fresh chicken eggs during our stay. Checkin was easy, checkout was straightforward, and we'd definitely stay again next time we're in Santa Cruz!
