We go to Santa Cruz several times a year and have been experimenting with different locations and accommodation types. I really appreciate having a home that I could also bring my dog to. That combination is always the hardest part to find in the area. It was also wonderful to also have a hot tub to soak in at night and a dog friendly beach just steps away. Shyamal was very responsive to any questions I had. The location was truly perfect - can't beat it. We will definitely be back!
