The pictures were spot on. The place fabulous. The kitchen looks small in picture- much larger in person. Cooked and served many family meals, game nights and memories. The view of ocean on main level was spectacular. Step over a few stairs and on the beach. Do not need any sand toys- plenty here, bring a cool kite. The rooms and bathrooms most spacious I’ve ever experienced. The fields around with fresh fruit/vegetable stands are convenient. Grocery/shopping convenient. Watsonville quaint small town. Be sure to drive a few more miles down the road to see the redwoods. The Santa Cruz amusement park- recommend get there at opening for parking. Only setback was driving to Monterey. Ask locals if there is a less traffic time. Figure it’s part of being in California. This place makes up for that traffic time. Grateful and thankful for this time at this place with my family.
