It was a cozy, cute place with nice touches such as beach towels and chairs! Lyle the dog would greet us warmly in the morning and then disappear back into the house. Jonathan was really friendly, helpful and responsive when we were coming into town and leaving, but left us to our own devices in the meantime, which really works for us. The neighborhood is good, and the location is pretty central for Santa Cruz. We rented bikes nearby and had a blast. Being close to Whole Foods was a plus for us as well. We would gladly stay here again!
