Easy street parking, great communication with host, easy check-in and everything accurately advertised. The bed was wonderful and the back patio was perfect for some afternoon reading and lounging. We ended up walking to and eating at our favorite Santa Cruz restaurant. Great location. Great stay.

Goog spot for Santa Cruz or Capitola

This was a nice little bungalow in a quiet neighborhood. There was a good Detroit style pizza place very close that was great. Ubering from here to Capitola was the way to go and cheap. Good, quiet, clean little spot.
