Tim's house is as good as it gets for a relaxed and easy visit to Santa Cruz! The house literally is half a block from Santa Cruz's wonderful walking/bike path and only about a 10-minute walk from Natural Bridges and the monarch butterfly preserve. In the other direction, you can walk on for a couple miles of beautiful views, beach access, the lighthouse/surfing museum and restaurants. The house is in great condition with lively beach accents. The garden in back was lovely for dinner and breakfast. The kitchen is well equipped with plenty of nice ceramic plates, bowls, and cutlery. The mattresses were very comfortable, and the bed linens were in very nice condition. Thank you, Tim!
