What can we say? Everything was just as described and better! We were warmly welcomed, had many treats ready when we arrived, the beach cottage was charming and it felt like being at home but not! The kitchen had everything we could need, movies for evening family movie night, backyard patio with a fireplace for hanging out, cozy beds and seriously anything we could think of that we needed, it was there. We rode our bicycles pretty much everywhere in Santa Cruz (there are two beach cruisers there!) with our teenage girls, swam at a great beach down the road and thoroughly enjoyed wandering through the neighborhoods smelling the fresh scent of jasmine everywhere. This is truly an awesome place to get away and have good family time. We will be back!
