I would completely recommend Laura's condo in Santa Cruz. Easy walk to the beach and the boardwalk. There were 7 of us, and we had ample space. The kitchen was well equipped. There was even a Keurig and pods available to us. It was wonderful to have sand toys, boogie boards, and sand chairs to use, too. The condo was tastefully decorated with a beach theme, and there were cute homemade signs giving Wifi instructions and other information. Our only suggestion would be to provide a broom/dust pan and a couple of extra sets of towels. Thank you for having us!
