This is a perfect house to stay in for a Santa Cruz vacation. The house itself is wonderful with three good sized bedrooms (with cozy and comfortable beds), two nice bathrooms, comfy sitting and dining areas, and small, but well-equipped kitchen. Both the front and backyards are well-kept and good for sitting out and for a dog to play in. It was quite chilly while we were at the house but the heating was efficient, and when the sun came out it was toasty in the backyard .
The location is fabulous. The house is next to a small market that sells delicious ice cream and decent breakfast burritos. At the end of the block is an entry to the beach, though it did mean the road got a little busy near sunset. We had some great romps on the beach with our dog as well as lovely walks on West Cliff Drive (great dog beach there, just past the lighthouse) and along Pleasure Point and into Capitola.
Communication with Tim was quick and easy, and his texts were friendly and helpful.
We would definitely stay here again!
