Easy Stroll to the Beach, harbor and dining make it a great choice for the low stress getaway with the kids and bring the dog too. Plenty of room for a family or group of 7 with ample space to the stretch out on the multiple decks and patio. Stay for a while with laundry and beach supplies accessible in the garage. Great views of the ocean and harbor, wake up to the calls from the seals and birds every morning. The Wharf, Boardwalk and downtown is a quick drive away, with quick access to grocery stores. The Redwoods are only 30 minutes away, and multiple kayaking options within walking and driving distance. Walk the beaches and lighthouses and never worry about needing to find a place to park. Dog friendly town and beaches so can safely say the entire family had a great time visiting Santa Cruz. The host responded to all my questions promptly and made it easy to plan ahead. Appreciate the quick and courteous responses to remove any last minute questions with what to pack and what I could leave at home.
