Cute and comfortable house. We visited in winter, so we didn't lounge on the outside patios, of which there are several. But we enjoyed getting cozy in front of the gas fire place in the living room, and playing games and doing jigsaw puzzles at the big dining room table. It is a short drive (down a steep hill) to the beach, which was marvelous in all kinds of weather. Also enjoyed a hike at nearby Nisene Marks State Park. And some time at the Santa Cruz boardwalk.
