My family and I had a great night at Michael and Ashlie's guest house. They had a pretty large property for being near downtown Santa Cruz which was great for space.
The guest house is situated above their detached two car garage but don't let that deter you because they did a great job with the renovations. The updated kitchen is cute and is open concept to the living room. The two bedrooms were pretty big as well. The big selling point was the fact that it was just a minute walk to downtown and a few minutes drive to the boardwalk.
We would recommend Michael and Ashlie's place for a small family or a couple for a weekend getaway.
