Great Location!
We loved our stay. It’s walking distance from the boardwalk, downtown Santa Cruz, and lots of great food places. Will happily stay here again!

We started our day at Twin lakes beach. After a long day at the beach we checked into the Charming Bungalow. It was about 20 minutes away from the beach we selected but that was ok we had plenty of beach time while we waited for check in. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable a great place to wash up and relax before heading out for a walk to the boardwalk. While I didn’t use the kitchen appliances, everything was available if needed. We chose to drive into Capitola for dinner. Would definitely stay again!
