Superb location: tranquil, bright, spacious. We had 8 adults, 2 teenage boys, 2 young boys and a toddler and we were all comfortable. Close to a lot of great sights, like Seabright Beach, the Harbor, the Boardwalk and the Wharf. Our teens were gone on their BMX's exploring every nook and cranny of Santa Cruz. The young boys felt at home playing ping pong. We all enjoyed walks through the neighborhood and harbor. The hot tub was a wonderful way to unwind and enjoy the peaceful evenings. There are grocery stores near by so that was easy to pick up stuff to have at the house, even though we came fully prepared for meals, etc. Make sure to pack/bring your own beach towels. The hosts were so very responsive and made check-in and check-out a cinch with simple instructions.
Each one of us who stayed at the house would recommend this home to anyone looking for a place to stay in Santa Cruz.
