If I could give this house 6 stars, I would. The house was beautiful, sparkling clean, and perfect for our family of 5. We loved the little touches throughout (instax camera, book of art, etc). You can tell the hosts have a true gift of hospitality. Our kids loved watching movies on the projector, taking baths in the huge bathtub, and our 1 year-old slept 13 hours both nights in the pack n play. Our first night we did the 15-minute walk to the beach, and we spent the second day at the Monterey Bay Aquarium, which was about a 40-minute drive. All in all, it was a perfect 48 hour getaway. We'd love to come back this summer and stay a bit longer to explore more of Santa Cruz, Capitola, etc.
