This was our third time staying at Troy's guest house. It is such a comfortable, quiet, well-appointed space, perfect for our family of five (parents + three teenagers). For us, it's a perfect location to feel like locals, walk along Pleasure Point, surf, shop along Portola, and drive over to the center of Santa Cruz as we want to. But with all the beauty in this neighborhood, you may not want to!! Five/six/seven stars!
