Rex and Briana's house is everything you hope for in a home away from home for large groups. I stayed there with 8 of my favorite people and we had more than enough space to spread out and come together. For those introverts that need a little quiet time each morning, we were able to hide out upstairs, make our coffee in the cozy upstairs kitchen, and lounge around in the loft before joining the festivities. We prepared meals in the giant kitchen downstairs and ate outside in the lovely backyard with multiple options for shade. We walked the 7 minutes to Depot Park and the 10 minutes to the Santa Cruz wharf multiple times a day. Walgreens is 2 blocks away if you need any last minute items and Foster Freeze is around the corner if you need a sweet treat. Plenty of parking in the area for all your guests plus you can fit 2 cars in the driver way and receive 2 parking passes. I promise you will not be disappointed with these accommodations. Your hosts are quick to respond and have thought of everything to make your time in Santa Cruz a wonderful, stress free, joyful experience.
