The hosts are extremely nice and super easy to communicate with. Chels sent us check-in instructions and updates on early checkin time and even reached out to us if we needed baby gears for our toddler. The house is on the small side but perfect for our family of 3. The small yard with pebbles is our toddler’s favorite! Location wise, it’s a 5 min drive to Seabright beach, and 10x mins to Santa Cruz Broadwalk. There are grocery stores and restaurants all within 1 mile radius so super convenient.
The kitchen appliances are older but the kitchen is really well stocked like utensils plates cups pots pans etc. there is also a hand soap and extra paper towels which I appreciated. I also saw a blender but did not get to use it.
There are 3 beach chairs and sand toys for kids in the backyard which we took to the beach with us.
The hosts live right next door which shares walls with this property. So one would be able to hear each other on one side of the house.
Overall I’d recommend this place for family with young kids!
