I wanted to stay in Santa Cruz and surf and you can't beat this location! The views are stunning, literally every room looks out to the sea. There's also a huge deck for sipping a morning coffee or an evening libation as the sun goes down. There's a little market nearby and loads of restaurants and shops half a mile away. The house was super clean and has all the basics covered. Also, David was a wonderful host, he was there when I arrived and was a very nice guy to talk to. He knows the town really well so can also make helpful suggestions on where to go/what to do around the area. I'd recommend this location to anyone that wants to be right at the beach in a mostly non-tourist area.
