I had an AMAZING time staying at Kris and Shane's place. The location can't be beat - 4 doors down from the ocean, and walking distance to several restaurants and coffee shops. The house is basically brand new, so everything is clean and in great shape. The home is on a shared lot behind a gate, which made me feel really safe. I also loved being able to park my car not only off the street, but in a garage on the ground floor of the property. The master bedroom downstairs stays nice and cool. Upstairs is another bedroom with twin beds. The upstairs is amazingly bright with tons of natural light streaming in. Air conditioning units in each room came in handy during a couple of the hotter days. I loved sitting out on the balcony to have my morning tea and read a bit while listening to the ocean waves and seals barking in the background :-) Every day I took a walk down to the Santa Cruz Harbor and the light house -- I'll be missing that! Can't wait to come back again another time.
