This is a fantastic place to stay—very private space yet near to all of the action along the beach. We took long walks along West Cliff Drive to watch the surfers and the waves. The pier is less than a 10 minute walk with its shops and restaurants. The kitchen in our suite was fully equipped with pots and dishes, so that we could prepare some meals at home during our 10-day stay. The dishwasher made clean-up easy. The bathroom was very clean and modern (with a good supply of hot water). We look forward to staying her again when visiting Santa Cruz.
