I've stayed in a lot of airBnB's over the years and this is easily the best airBnB I've ever stayed at. It was our first time to Santa Cruz and first vacation as a family of 4. We have a toddler and an infant and this house was the perfect size for all of us. The house is in excellent condition with modern, simple, cozy decor and an open layout with tons of wonderful light and ocean breeze. There was a lot of care given to a good and thorough cleaning. The linens and towels are soft and plush. All of the products in the house are clean. There were even beach toys for the kids, tommy Bahama beach chairs, umbrellas, and sun canopy ready for use. There is a grill that worked really well too and the rooftop deck is perfect. The location is excellent. We were in a quiet neighborhood but just a short stroller walk away to an awesome park, the beach, good restaurants, and shopping. Lauren was a very responsive and kind host. I would definitely stay here again on my next trip to Santa Cruz.
