My family really enjoyed our stay in Santa Cruz. This home is centrally located, < 10 minutes from just about everywhere you want to go in Santa Cruz. For other day trips (like Henry Cowell State Park Redwoods, or Ano Nuevo, or Monterrey) it is all a very reasonable distance. The home itself has nice modern updates and is well maintained. The house is much larger than you might think from the street, having a deep lot. The street noise was pretty minimal, and the double paned windows helped keep things quiet. The backyard was also a nice respite. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking utensils, gadgets, and such (even sharp knives!). David was very communicative and friendly to interact with. He provided helpful suggestions, and answered all our questions as best as he could. Would definitely stay again.
