The photos accurately depicted the property. The home was clean and well organized. The kitchen had everything needed to prepare complete meals. The bedrooms were very quiet and comfortable. We spent a lot of time sitting out on the deck and enjoying the hypnotizing view of the ocean. While I was unable to make phone calls w/ my phone, texting worked just fine. The owner replied to my texts in a timely and very helpful manner. Be sure to take walks to the cliffs to the left of the house to see early morning surfers and seals. Just two houses past the house, to the right, are very convenient steps down to restaurants, shops, and the beach, which get you there in only several minutes. It is so nice, after spending time on a possibly busy excursion with the streets filled with shoppers, to return to your retreat in such a short time and enjoy the solitude on the deck. Two different worlds! For our anniversary we celebrated a delicious, and well served meal, at Shadowbrook Restaurant. We had some great meals, and "perfect" margaritas, at Paradise Beach Grill. We drove north, just beyond Santa Cruz, to Davenport Beach to search for sea glass. Bring good walking shoes for that; it was one of the highlights of our excursions. I have never seen such gigantic sea foam blowing off the ocean, dancing along the beach-wow! I highly recommend a massage in Santa Cruz at Luma Yoga on Center Street. Ask for Gemma Depolo and you won't be disappointed. Thank-you to the owners for such attention to detail. I would stay longer next time and look forward to our return.
