From the start, our communication process with Scott/Jodie was clear, friendly, and hospitable.
The location is even better than they can fully show with description and photos - you can watch the waves crash behind a fabulous standalone fireplace from the built-in sofa or the spacious front deck. You walk 30 seconds to a staircase leading to a huge beach with volleyball, soccer goals, fire pits, and a super cool lighthouse.
There are restaurants, cool locals-bars, and coffee shops a few minutes walk away and a great natural history museum... and the rest of Santa Cruz is just a short bike or drive away - this place is PERFECT.
The house was fully stocked with everything you could imagine for the kitchen/grill.
The house's interior design is unique and makes you feel like you're at the beach, even when you're inside.
We had a small issue with the water heater, and they took care of it immediately and proactively, even over a holiday weekend. The hosts are absolute pros.
Can't recommend this place highly enough - we had an 11/10 stay
