Carl was a perfect host. His attention to detail was impeccable from local restaurant recommendations, bikes, boogie boards, etc to the fully stocked house. He even left us a fruit bowl and wine to help us settle in. The house was centrally located within a short walk to the boardwalk and beaches. We came to Santa Cruz with 2 other families and between this house and the neighboring house it was perfect. I would highly recommend this place for families and friends. Overall fabulous Spring Break for all!
