This house was great and we really enjoyed our stay! The daily walks to the beach, just five minutes down the road, were just what we needed. Upon our arrival, we noticed a slight odor coming from one of the bedrooms. When I texted Monica about it, she replied very quickly saying that someone would be there soon to steam clean the carpet in the room and provide an air purifier. We were really appreciative with how quickly the host responded and took care of it right away (on a Sunday evening!). The house was nicely laid out with the master bedroom and bathroom at the back of the house next to the living room. The other two bedrooms and one bathroom was at the other side of house by the kitchen. The kitchen was well equipped. And we really enjoyed two fun nights of making pizzas in the outdoor wood fire pizza oven. Our kids do not skateboard, but they had a blast running around in it. It is quite a large skate ramp bowl. We ate a lot of our meals outside sitting on the outdoor patio sofa, a suggestion is that it would be lovely to have an outdoor dining table. We also enjoyed borrowing the surfboards to play at the beach. Overall a wonderful, relaxing, and fun stay in Santa Cruz for our family!
