Look no further. This place is perfectly located. Walk to the beach. Walk to coffee in the morning and dinner in the evening. The house is stocked with all you need. Communication was clear and when I had questions, Andy responded promptly. I stayed with my adult kids. Each of us enjoyed our own room in what all of us agreed are comfortable beds. There's plenty of places to lounge: The front porch rocking chairs give a lovely view of hibiscus awnings and plants. The backyard is amazing--filled with bird song and places to sit, including a hammock perfectly poised under a sweet maze of tree limbs. It's a no shoes inside house which we appreciated as the carpet, hardwood floors, and tile felt clean under our toes. My college-aged kids had a lot of studying to do--wi-fi was smooth without hiccups. The neighborhood hosts sidewalks down to the beach, but nothing frenetic in terms of foot traffic. (Actually fun to catch glimpses of conversation and dog walkers when sitting on the porch. The porch is pretty private, though, so you feel tucked into your own little world.) Night time was perfectly, peacefully quiet. Still can't get over the fact that you can walk out the door and walk along the beach, both sand and pathways. Lots of different arteries that lead to the water. Fun to explore. Amazing place that we'll come back to when we return to Santa Cruz.
