Monica's place was cute and ideally located. We were about a 5 minute walk from a beautiful beach that was far less crowded than other parts of Santa Cruz. The kitchen was fully stocked with all of the utensils needed, though I'd recommend bringing some plastic cups as there are only a few glasses and no dishwasher. The pizza oven was incredible, and we loved being able to bbq and go in the jacuzzi. The beds were comfy, and there were plenty of towels for our 6 person party. The only downside I'd say is that the place could use a bit of extra scrubbing, specifically in the bathrooms, and definitely in the backyard. Otherwise, we had such a wonderful stay!
