My friends and I recently stayed at Carl's place to celebrate my birthday. The house was fantastic. It easily slept the 5 of us, and offered all the amenities we could have wanted, including a sizable and inviting patio and propane grill. Carl kept the place fully stocked with all the necessary supplies which made it very convenient for when we prepared meals at the house. The location is great as well. It has a beautiful view, gave us easy access for running along West Cliff Drive, and was a very short and cheap Uber/Lyft ride to downtown Santa Cruz. The beach /Hawaiian type decor in areas of the house was also very cool and set a great vibe. We'll definitely be returning in the future.
