Wonderful location! The upstairs (living room/dining room/kitchen) has beautiful views in both directions (the ocean one way and hills/trees the other) and was a wonderful place to gather. We were 7 people and there was plenty of room (2 couples, 3 kids aged 12-18). The weather was much cooler than Santa Cruz, which I like. The beach was also less crowded and lovely for a long walk. The check in and out process was easier than expected--I was not looking forward to having to go to a separate location, but it is just a block away. The bedrooms and sofa could use a bit of updating, but the beds were comfortable and overall it was a great place to stay! Thanks!
