We had the most wonderful and relaxing vacation in this beautiful home in Santa Cruz. Lori was amazing from our first interaction to the last. The location to the beach is perfect. It wasn't the beach where we spent the day but we would walk down and dip our toes in the water in the afternoon and evening. The house is fully stocked with EVERYTHING you might need including toys for the kids. You literally don't need to bring anything for the kitchen, kids, beach, etc. The outdoor shower may have been our favorite feature of the house, we all loved showering outside every day. The location is also just perfect, pretty much smack dab between Capitola and the Boardwalk. Shopping, beach, running and biking were all easy to get to as well. I could go on for days about how perfect this house was for our family!
