This house is very cozy, and with so many extra touches that really helped it to feel like home. It is also spacious and beautifully decorated, and in an excellent location just a few minutes walk from the Santa Cruz boardwalk, beach, and walking and biking trails along the ocean cliffs. If you walk just a few minutes the other direction, you will be in the heart of downtown Santa Cruz with boutiques, dining and live music. You do not need a vehicle if you are in this location, but there is also ample parking and parking permits available to use that come with the house. The beds were comfortable and the home was quiet at night so we all got great sleep. Can't recommend enough and would love to go back sometime.
