Our stay in Santa Cruz was great. Jackie has a wonderful set up at her place. A separate one bedroom apartment set up on the lower level of her home. The full size kitchen and refrigerator was really nice. TV, cable and DVDs were a plus for the kids. We even had our own outdoor patio area. the place looked as it was all brand new. Well decorated and very cozy. Myself and my 2 kids felt at home. Private entrance in a nice neighborhood just minuites from Capitola and Santa Cruz beaches and shopping. We will definitely be back to stay here!
