We had a fabulous stay at The Coop. The house is spacious and well furnished with everything you might need. It was an excellent base for exploring the Santa Cruz area by foot and by car. We enjoyed pleasant walks to Seabright Beach and to the Boardwalk and short drives to Natural Bridges, The Seymour Marine Center, The Mystery Spot, and Henry Cowell Redwood State Park. Small children prevented us from eating out in the evening but it was a pleasure to eat in at the large dining table. My toddler enjoyed running around the fenced front yard and my husband enjoyed reading books in the peaceful and attractive garden while tending the bbq! We recommend the place highly.
