Mary Jo's place is a great base for a stay in Santa Cruz. Well appointed kitchen, etc., had everything needed for a marvelous three-week stay combining work and enjoying some time with friends and surf in the area. Easy walk to the beautiful coastline, lighthouse, Steamer Lane, Cowell's Beach and restaurants etc. there. House is clean, well organized, comfortable and well-equipped, with a nice secluded outdoor area. Mary Jo was a great host, good communication and very informative about everything relevant to the stay there. Hoping to return!
