For our family of 4 who wanted a mellow place close to a Santa Cruz beach in a peaceful setting with the conveniences of a home, Jeff's Rio Del Mar house was perfect. Set at the end of a cul-de-sac with plenty of parking and surrounded by trees, the house is wonderfully decorated, very comfortable and practical. Easy to live in! It is a short walk to the beach and a short drive to shopping. Rio Del Mar beach is wonderful for kids. Jeff was a great host--very responsive to questions. Not much more to ask of a vacation house!
