We had such a great time staying here. The unit was great and well appointed. The living area was a bit small but not so bad with the sliding doors open and being able to relax on the balcony. The 2 car garage was great for storing our beach stuff and bikes. The full size laundry made having clean clothes a breeze. The unit was less than a block from the beach look out and about 2.5 blocks from the beach access. It was easy to get around to different parts of Santa Cruz from this central location. Will definitely be back again!
