Great Beach House

Fantastic Beach house. We loved that everywhere was walkable: the beach, the neighborhood restaurants. Great layout with 2 bedrooms downstairs and a loft upstairs. Worked well with our family. We were able to walk to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and avoid paying for parking. Thanks so much for letting us stay.

This was a great layout for us. The kids loved the upstairs room. The house was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a day at the beach. Walking to Seabright Beach in the evening was wonderful. We were able to walk back-and-forth to the boardwalk easily.

The property was welcoming. The home was very clean throughout. Kitchen essentials were available and well organized. We were within walking distance to the Sea Bright beach area. Our boys were thrilled they could walk or ride the bikes to the Boardwalk. It was only a short drive to downtown Santa Cruz. We would definitely stay at the townhouse again. We will have lasting memories of our visit. Thanks
