Barry's duplex is tastefully decorated and each room is very functional and clean with good storage. Location is ideal for us - 15 minute walk to either the beach or the Boardwalk. Several nice and/or economical restaurants accessible by a longer walk or short drive. Giant, pristine refrigerator, nearly new easy-clean stove, comfortable bed and roomy shower with nicely textured slate floor. Great area for walking/biking with pleasant streets, parks, bike trails, shoreline, nature trails, a boat harbor and a lighthouse nearby. Neighborhood is delightful with well-kept homes that appear to largely be family dwellings. Mostly quiet and minimal traffic. To top it off, Eileen (the 35-year resident of the adjoining rental) is an excellent host - warm, friendly, informative and respectful. All in all, a perfect Santa Cruz rental for our family. We are already considering plans for another visit!
