There couldn't be a better place to stay. My four day visit was wonderful in this treasure with it's meticulous cleanliness, upbeat decor, amazing garden/backyard and heavenly bed. Honestly, I began and ended each day with a grin as I just enjoyed the inside of this home. And it is located within walking distance to downtown, beach, grocery stores and the fun sportsbar, Seabright Brewery. The hosts are never obstrusive but don't miss a chance to experience the real deal in Santa Cruz: both Katie and husband Mickey are so very warm and generous in sharing information and wisdom. Beware of then planning to move to Santa Cruz, as I am!
