Linda was an amazing host! She stocked the fridge and kitchen area with snacks and drinks for us. There's a binder full of Santa Cruz history, great places to eat and different beaches and trails. Very helpful! Be careful if you're trying to use multiple devices at once i.e the toaster oven and the microwave. They work well! But we could only use one at a time. The walk to the beach is great. I'd recommend getting an Uber or Lyft instead of walking back as it takes up back up the side of the cliff. To get around the Uber's and Lyfts are very cheap! And have the friendliest people. All in all of was a memorable trip and will definitely return.
Things to keep in mind -
There is only an outdoor shower (luckily it's great!) there is no indoor shower.
Toilet room is pretty tight, so you tall men might have difficulty (my boyfriend is 6'0 and it was a bit tight for him)
There's wifi and a smart TV - and it's fast!
No stove - but there's a grill with two burners
