We made the hideaway our "home base" for our trip to the coast this summer. It had everything we needed in the morning and was perfect to come back to at the end of our busy days to relax in. The home itself is small, but cozy and comfortable and a short walk away from the beach. There are also little cafe's and shopping near by. We would definitely go back and highly recommend it if you are looking for a place to stay near the beach in Santa Cruz.
