5 stars across the board! This beautiful home is in a quiet neighborhood close to the beach and downtown Santa Cruz. We stayed here for graduation weekend for UCSC and it comfortably slept 8 people with plenty of space to spread out. The backyard is huge and has lots of little seating areas and a BBQ that was perfect for our family celebration. The house and yard IS incredibly clean and we had all the amenities we needed. Anytime I messaged Curtis he got back to me right away and was super accommodating with check in and check out. Can't say enough positive things about our stay!
