"I had a perfect 11 night stay in this unit while in Santa Cruz for work. It was a perfect fit for me, a minute walk to the beach, restaurants in walking distance, and I did enjoy the sounds of the sea lions in the background.The hosts were very easy to communicate with. I needed additional towels and they were dropped off the next day. My girlfriend came out for one of the weekends and it was plenty of room for us, especially since we were out most of the time exploring the area."
