Great place to stay!
I’m giving Lilian 5 stars tho there were a couple of things that could be improved or added to the property for a truly fabulous vacation. I’m doing a +/- review as I find these really helpful to decide which property to choose!
Positives:
Location - peaceful , residential neighbourhood and only minutes from the beach and great places to watch the numerous surfers. Driving distance to great supermarkets. The nicer end of Santa Cruz in our opinion too.
Bedrooms - Very comfy beds and great shower in master en-suite.
Downstairs: relaxing open plan living area with easy-light gas fireplace. Relaxing homely feel to house.
Kitchen: Lots of cutlery, plates and dishes.
Negatives:
Kitchen- we expected a slightly higher spec kitchen with sharper knives, more glasses (only large wine glasses available which didn’t really fit in the dishwasher and very few water/juice glasses) and jugs for water/milk.
There were no house instructions whatsoever so it was sometimes a challenge to work out how to turn appliances on, like the oven for example. The bin men turned up on Monday and had we known we’d have put all the rubbish and recycling out.
But overall a lovely stay in a beautiful area.
