Great little beach cottage was perfect for our trip to the area! Description understates the benefit of the location; just a few neighborhood blocks to the beach and all the shopping/dining, can also walk to grocery store, ice cream, etc. Was just enough room for me and my two kids and had all the basics we needed. We had events at local beaches and were 5-10 minutes from all, including Santa Cruz Boardwalk. We got lucky with parking right out front, only one time had to park in the local lot but that is also right around the corner. It has total beach cottage charm and was just what we needed, we would stay again
