This is a great little house for families close to a nice quiet beach. We had our 3 girls stay in one bedroom while my husband and I stayed in the master. It isn't luxurious, but it is perfectly adequate, clean, and the location is pretty perfect. I went for long walks on the beach southbound towards Moss Landing as you can get really far in that direction. Otherwise we built sand castles, played in the waves, and flew kites on the beach. We ended up cooking less than we anticipated. The kitchen utensils and pots and pans are a little hodge-podge but manageable. Its a pretty short drive into Santa Cruz and about 45 minutes down to the Monterey Bay Aquarium - which is amazing. We would be very happy to stay here again.
