We had THE BEST stay at Melissa's! If you have children, this is the place for you. Our kids enjoyed the backyard space so much with the trampoline and hot tub and inside there were many books and games to keep them entertained. The layout of the house is great and anything we needed was provided. The location is excellent with a short drive down to Twin Lakes beach or the Boardwalk so close as well. We will definitely try to book Melissa's again on our next Santa Cruz trip.
