This house is far more beautiful in real life than in the photos. We were lucky to have a direct view of the ocean because the house across the street is being rebuilt. It has close access to everything. The kitchen is beautiful with all the things you need to cook, and plenty of storage in the fridge and cabinets. The beds and blankets are incredibly comfortable. The towels we super soft. Shannon is very quick to respond. Great house, great space, great location. Highly suggest for any Santa Cruz trip.
