This was a great location as it was in walking distance to downtown and .7 miles to the boardwalk.
Loved that there was a playground right across and a Mexican restaurant nearby. Didn't need to use the car at all. It was a bonus to have parking permits.
House was clean, backyard space was great.
This would have been a 5/5 , but my only critic is that this isn't really family friendly. With tenants above who complained about noise complaint at 9:55PM, we received a warning from host.
I think to expect a 3 year old and a one and a half year old to not make noise is unrealistic. Not to mention that the tenants upstairs were just as noisey. Stomping around and walls were thin that we could list to their TV and conversation.
So this house is really ideal for families who have kids 7 years old and up. This is not ideal for anyone who have infants or toddlers. Tho we had told the host the ages of our kids. Overall we enjoyed Santa Cruz.
