This spacious, charming beach house includes fenced-in garden with courtyard seating, beautiful outdoor dining furniture and BBQ. Carl was welcoming and easy-going, and ensured us all the 'extras' were for guests- bikes, surfboards, wetsuits, games, movies, fresh fruit, tennis rackets, BBQ, etc... Beds were comfy and bedrooms were lovely. The kitchen was modern, roomy and incredibly well-equipped! The beach house is in a very safe, beautiful and quiet neighborhood. It is the perfect location for visiting UCSC campus, nearby state beaches and forests, as well as walking to the beach many times each day. Thank you, Carl, for offering such a lovely get-away! Our family will book this beach house whenever we all meet in Santa Cruz again!
