It literally is a 5 minute walk to the beach. Pleasure Point is a well-known surfing spot in Santa Cruz. The kitchen was nice and had everything one needs. As others have said, the inside of the space was kept up well. The outside not as nice. But for SC it is a good value. The sofa for a 3rd person is not a hide a bed. It is just a sofa to sleep on. If you have 3 people, there is really no privacy between the bedroom and the kitchen / sofa area. The restroom has a sliding barn door which does not lock in place as well. We do recommend Courtney's space, and would stay here again.
