GREAT VIEW AND LOCATION. The benefit of being on the resort was very convenient. Complimentary golf cart rides to the beach and adjacent restaurant, 3 pools from which to chose, and two access points to the beach.
There is a small hike followed by 94 steps down to the beach. You can also access the beach the other complementary golf cart service provided by calling the front desk. There is also a Phone at the base of the beach that requires your key card to access the telephone to call for a pick up back to your room. We felt very safe and it was incredibly clean. It is a well appointed “ Santa Cruz“ beach home. It’s nothing fancy, but cute and clean.
The kitchen has most amenities and tools that you would need. Coffee pot works like a champ and looks brand new! Do not expect much in terms of spices for cooking or any oil’s. Definitely bring your own. Wifi worked well (this kept the kids happy!).
The food out couch works very well and goes back together with ease.
Our ONLY complaint is that The mattresses in the bedrooms definitely need replacing. We don’t have bad backs, are in our late 30’s, and aren’t bed “snobs” but it was a rough night’s sleep on the king mattress. We moved the kids out of the Queen and slept there. It was better-ish, but still made for some rough sleep.
There’s a great little patio with ample seating and a small table. We enjoyed coffee there every morning and wine in the evening.
POOL TIP - due to Covid and social distancing, book your pool reservations up to one week in advance. The website takes a little while to figure out, but is relatively easy. The north pool is directly outside the front door. Very convenient! Reservations were limited and often sold out for the pool, but I don’t think people were following through with their reservations. We were able to utilize the pool whenever without any issues. Pool towels are also complimentary.
All and all it was a perfect home for a Santa Cruz get-away. It’s spacious for the square footage and doesn’t feel cramped. I would stay here again in the future. Thanks!
