We loved our 2 week stay in Sarah's B&B. Really - so much so that we've already talked to Sarah about coming back. The house was comfy, quiet, bright and cheerful. The kitchen was well-stocked with all the basics and much more: coffee, tea, milk, blueberries, pancake mix, maple syrup, oatmeal - all there when we arrived. And wine. The beds are very cozy. The apartment has many wonderful extras to keep children well-entertained: games, books and beach equipment. Plus, the apartment is only two blocks from the Boardwalk. There is a view of a garden, and we felt very private in Sarah's back yard. The location can't be beat for exploring the best of Santa Cruz on foot. It's a short walk to the city wharf, with it's restaurants (Gilda's for breakfast) and honking sea lions. You can also easily walk to West Cliff Drive, with views of the Bay and surfers; East Cliff Dr. and the wonderful Seabright Beach, and downtown with restaurants, groceries, cafes, bars, street life. You don't really need a car. Five stars for everything connected with the B&B, including Sarah.
