Great view and perfect location for all the things our family wanted to do. It was a quick drive to Capitola and Santa Cruz Boardwalk. Best thing for us was the short walk with our dog to the beach. With the 5 min walk to the beach, we spent a whole day there, using the beach chairs provided in our unit's storage shed on the deck (use bbq key), and running back and forth to our place for snacks, bathroom breaks, etc. Everything was just perfect. We will rent this place again.
