Colleen made our first time Airbnb experience worry-free and pleasant from beginning to end. The house was perfect for our stay - clean and comfortable and charming with plenty of everything we needed. It is privately situated on a lane in a quiet residential neighborhood. Our 18month old granddaughter loved toddling around in the fenced yard, and there were lemons on the trees!
We absolutely loved this neighborhood. The shore path is a great little walk away; so fun to pick up a really good coffee (Verve!) and head down in the morning to watch the surfers (and the people watching the surfers). Great ice cream and restaurants also within walking distance. We were busy with family all weekend and ended up driving and visiting all over town, but I was always glad to get back to Pleasure Point. Truly a great neighborhood for the visiting out-of-towner! It didn't hurt that we were there in Spring after some decent rain (so I heard) so there were flowers and blooming shrubs and trees EVERYWHERE. The driveway was lined with climbing roses and the air smelled like jasmine walking out the door. It was magical.
I don't think we could have had a better experience. As newcomers to Airbnb, we are very grateful to have happened into such a perfect and lovely accommodation for our Santa Cruz visit!
