This is a stay in an amazing location. Its up in the mountains but still only 5 minutes from the beach. There are a variety of beaches and state parks in the area and santa cruz is a short drive away. That being said I would say its not the best bang for your buck as the amenities are pretty basic and the views aren't as spectacular as the price would indicate. The coffe creamer that is provided was actually expired by a few months. Still the place is very clean and we had a great time both in the home and exploring the beautiful nature in the area.
