this is one of the best rentals i've stayed in and i've stayed in quite a few and am very picky. it is lovely, sunny, quiet, comfortable, clean, well appointed. there is a great kitchen for cooking and they even have good stainless steel pots and pans and glass storage ware, unheard of in most rentals. it is also in a wonderful location, about 10 blocks from the beach and also close to the best health food store in santa cruz (staff of life) but is on a very quiet peaceful street. it cost more than i had intended to pay but it was very comfortable and i would definitely go back.
