Brenden's place was exactly what we needed for a fabulous stay in Santa Cruz! The location is ideal--close to UCSC, downtown SC, and just a few minutes' walk from the ocean. We could hear the waves from his house! Lots of thoughtful amenities, including a bottle of wine, water, and snacks (that the kids loved). The hot tub was prepared for us, the kitchen had everything we needed, and the beds were incredibly comfortable and the linens smelled great! No complaints, truly. We had a wonderful time!
