My family and I rented this beautiful house in Westside Santa Cruz. The inside of the house was amazing with beautiful updates like new granite and a bathtub big enough for a giant.
I'm a local to this part of town who unfortunately had to move away for my career but here are the things that sets this houses location from other places you might look at. One the backyard is landscaped perfectly and is its own vacation within a vacation. Also if you leave the windows open at night it's so close to the beach that the sounds of the waves and harbor seals help put you to sleep. In the morning I easily slipped away to watch the surf a block away at the Point. For foodies there are incredible places to eat and drink all over. If available this will be the spot I choose 1st when I return!!!
