Not a good spot

Late arrival time and the cleaning cost for one nice was ridiculous. The had a tenant with a game room right behind the couch where my kids were trying to watch a cartoon. It was annoying to hear him playing his first person shooter really loud while my kids were trying to watch their movie. Also, an insurance cost for 1 night was very expensive. My favorite part was the creepy man that followed my family down the street to the house at 8pm when we were walking back from getting dinner.

Can't Give Enough Praise!

This may have been the best rental experience we've ever had! The house was is in a perfect location in a quiet neighborhood with only a short walk to the beach, boardwalk, or mall shopping. These are probably the most thoughtful owners I've ever come across. I was worried that our family of 6 wouldn't all fit so I was preparing some of my kids for sleeping on the floor. When we got there we found a thick sleeping mat but even better, we found the most comfortable inflatable bed I've ever seen. The house was super clean and had every kitchen utensil you could ever want. There were surfboards and bikes to use. There are two outdoor cats that my kids loved playing with. I had a chance to meet the owner and his son on one of the mornings and he was incredibly nice and accommodating. I cannot give enough praise for the experience we had in Santa Cruz staying at this home. Thank you so much!!
