It was our first Airbnb and we loved it. We have four kids and there was more than enough room for everyone. The bedrooms are really nice and the beds are very comfortable. The kitchen has everything we could want, we ended up doing a lot of cooking and it worked really well. The place was clean, everything worked, it was a really short walk to a lovely beach and we had a great time.

The only disappointment was we couldn't heat the pool. We now understand that heated pools are not often available on Airbnb. That being said, we'd have gladly paid extra to be able to warm up the pool for a day or two for our kids when it was overcast. And it's often overcast on the beach in Santa Cruz.

Otherwise the place is great.
