My husband and I were traveling with our two nieces, aged 17 and 18, who were visiting from out of state. This simple cottage was in a perfect location for us -- an attractive neighborhood very close to the beach and boardwalk (5 min drive, easy walk). The girls loved their stay in Santa Cruz. Toby and Chels clearly care about their property and about making sure their guests have the best stay possible. We would return without hesitation. Highly recommended!
