This is a great place for large families! We decided to take a last minute mini vacation to Santa Cruz. There were 4 families, so a total of 13 of us (adults and kids). There was plenty of space for everyone. Rex’s place is eclectic and no-frills, very Santa Cruz feeling. It was an easy walk to the boardwalk for all of us (from an 8 year old with some mobility issues to a 70 year old, and everyone in between). After we parked our cars, we didn’t move them. The tap water was a little stinky. So, make sure you bring your own to drink. And there’s no central AC so be prepared to be a little warm (especially if you’re in the upstairs part of the house!) on super hot days. But, there was a window AC unit and a fan. Other than that, no complaints!
