As a family with three kids, being able to stay in a house was a much better option for us when we looked for places to stay near Santa Cruz. Michael´s house was perfect for us, as it had a double bed in a room and a double and single sofa bed in the living room. The house was right next to a Bakery from where we could buy fresh breakfast bread everyday and a small grocery store helped us to fix some food ourselves at Michael's place. The beach just across the street from the house is breathtaking. Michael was always helpful and very patient with our hyper boys!
