We had a wonderful stay at Sun's home! It was the perfect place for the 30th birthday party our large group celebrated. We cooked a number of times and the kitchen has everything you could want from serving platters, all types of utensils, abundant place settings, to a coffee grinder. There is plenty of prep space around the island too which makes it a great gathering place at meal times.

The highlights that everyone couldn't stop talking about were the Jacuzzi, the kitchen/grill and the spectacular garden (one of our friends kept talking about how the cherry tomato was the best he's ever had). The weather was overcast when we were there on Saturday so we didn't make as much use of the deck as we could have but it is beautiful too. The bedrooms were also great. The beds were very comfortable and the linens were very fresh.

The house is incredibly clean. If you like the pictures, you will love the house. I would highly recommend this place to anyone looking for an amazing week or weekend in Santa Cruz.

There is a great field across the street where we played bocce ball and it is a 10 minute drive to the pier. There are a number of grocery stores within a 5-10 minute drive (Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Safeway). We had brunch at a great place called Cafe Brasil.
