We have a lovely stay here in Santa Cruz. The house had plenty of room for us to spread out - I loved that there were several comfortable couches in the house (not every house rental has those!) and a well-stocked kitchen, along with multiple TVs (which my husband and kids loved). It was in easy walking distance to restaurants and the beach. If you don't like stairs, you may not like this property since it's on 3 levels, but we loved it and can see staying here again.
