Our family of four thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this fantastic home. The house is filled with lots of eclectic beach themed decor and everything you need to make your stay convenient and comfortable. The kitchen is likely better stocked than your own kitchen, the beds are comfy, it is clean and in an excellent location on the border of Capitola and Santa Cruz. We greatly enjoyed the sun room with a peak ocean view, and there was plenty of room for all of us and then some. We did not use the hot tub or back yard as the back stairs were a bit much for our older dog with hip issues, but it is a very inviting and private backyard. A bonus of Joyce having had this home for so long is the mature landscaping that provides lots of privacy even though you are in a populated area. Joyce is a very thoughtful host who has done an excellent job of thinking of all the little things to make your home away from home comfortable and seamless. We will not hesitate to stay at this lovely home again!
