Great communicators with lovely dogs that they will let visit, if the dogs want to, anyway. I stayed for just under a week and had no problems. There was a toilet back up but plunging fixed it. Deb's husband was helpful in solving the matter. TV has HDMI outputs if you are like us and want to watch your computer on the TV. Santa Cruz itself is beautiful, albeit tricky to get around at first. Highly recommend the Boardwalk!
