What a great location! I especially loved the flock of Cormorants. Was lucky enough to spend hours just watching them come and go. Thanks for sharing, Jane & John

We loved staying at your home. We love the body surf and boogie board so we loved that the beach was just a short walk away. We made a lot of memories with family and friends. Thank you! The LaCores & Reynolds

Our family really enjoyed Santa Cruz and we had a great time! We walked to the beach several times and took day excursions to the Monterey Aquarium, Roaring Camp and Bonfonte Gardens. The kids loved it all especially the Drive-In mocie. Harbor Cafe is especially good for breakfast-lunch and dinner! Many Thanks, The McCloskey Family San Diego, CA

We lived here and now in London and San Francisco but Santa Cruz will always be home. So thanks for making us feel so happy to be here, if only for a few days! Lovely place!

Our long time friend Michael Schweyer lives a few doors down the street. We got to re-connect with him and our long time home in Santa Cruz. Wonderful home at a great location, made our stay memorable. The Cormorants on the lake were fun to watch! Awesome time had by all.
