This was our second visit to the Surf Colony and we highly recommend it. It is so close to the beach and the boardwalk but offers quiet and private accommodations. We took advantage of the well-equipped kitchen and it warmed up enough to spend some time on the spacious sunny patio. Brit and Alan are very responsive to any questions. There was a minor plumbing issue right at the end of our stay but Alan was available to handle the issue when we called, and he was only concerned about our satisfaction with our stay. We will definitely choose this location when we return to Santa Cruz.
