Great vacation, house was close to everything. We were able to walk to the Boardwalk and Wharf with ease and though a bit further, Natural Bridges State Beach was a gorgeous walk along the cliffs. It was a short drive to all the downtown restaurants and shops. (By the way, highly recommend the Santa Cruz Food Tour during your stay if you do head downtown!)
We used the hot tub and the front porch fire pit practically every day, the views were fantastic from both. Watching the surfers, the people biking and hiking along the cliff and the variety of cars traveling along West Cliff Drive was very entertaining. The fenced in front lawn was a plus with the kids. It was an extra safety measure we appreciated!
The house was very clean and well equipped. We had everything we needed. There was more than enough linens, pillows, towels, blankets for everyone and the kitchen had more appliances/gadgets than I expected (guess I didn't need to bring my coffee grinder!). The kitchen was our favorite room in the house. Again, the views!
Tara was very responsive during our planning and the booking and check in process was easy. Thanks so much for the hospitality! We loved our vacation!!
