The cottage is clean and beautiful, located in a quiet and safe neighborhood. There’s ample free street parking right outside the house. It’s about 10-15 minutes walk to all the fantastic restaurants and coffee shops on Mission St. and downtown Santa Cruz. About 7 minutes drive to the Wilder Ranch State Park with astonishing ocean view (I was thrilled to find such a beautiful park could be so close to where I lived and allowed to me walk alongside the coast routinely after dinner), and lastly, 15 minutes drive to the famous SURFING spots in Capitola! Beth’s place is perfect for a long or short stay and I will definitely choose it again if I come back to Santa Cruz.
