Seven female (age 60+) friends and I convened in Santa Cruz and stayed at Rex's place. We loved the location -- walking distance to both the boardwalk and downtown. The house slept all eight of us comfortably -- and many of us had our own rooms, which was nice. Rex responded promptly to every question!
The driveway fits two cars and he had two parking passes, so a total of four cars can park at the house. That turned out well for us.
We knew that there wouldn't be a dishwasher, so we planned to eat out most of the time -- and there were many restaurants and other food places very close.
