This place exceeded our expectations. The home is beautiful with lots of sunlight. It is impeccably clean and even more spacious than pictures suggest. 4 adults and 2 teens, and 2 younger children were comfortable. Little things like laundry, a dryer, an outdoor shower to spray off feet made our long weekend stay really comfortable. The best part was having a local (Uncle Boots) to ask questions about surfing, beaches, sea life, etc... when we checked in and got the key code. My teenagers really enjoyed the quick stories he told us when he showed us around the house. Coming from Chicago, the beach chairs, umbrella, and cooler made our trips to the beach comfortable and much more enjoyable. The back yard has an "oasis" feel with beautiful lighting, trees and a grill to unwind at night and get away from the congestion of Capitola and Santa Cruz, yet the house is close enough we visited all of those places daily. Surfing is close, shopping is close... really fantastic place to stay!
