Our stay was fantastic! Sarah and family were so gracious and accommodating. I loved the apartment and the location was perfect for walking pretty much everywhere in Santa Cruz from the beach to the boardwalk to downtown. We utilized the boogie boards, chairs and towels for the beach. We made fresh lemonade with lemons from their tree and enjoyed watching the squirrels and hummingbirds in the patio area. Sarah also provided snacks, breakfast food, and a welcome bottle of wine. I can't speak highly enough!
