Nice open group spaces for gathering, BBQ. There are just two bathrooms so heads up if you do have 10 people, it's a little tight as one is in the master bedroom. There are also ants apparently in a lot of buildings in Santa Cruz - don't think they can do much about it but it did surprise me a bit.
Location is great, and outdoor shower in backyard super helpful if you need to rinse of wetsuits/boards.
