Beautiful house in Santa Cruz

Rented this property for a group of four friends to visit Santa Cruz. The house is large and in very good condition. We had plenty of space to be together or to hang out separately. The house had all the amenities that we needed. The host was very communicative with check-in and check-out information, as well as with things to do. Highlights were the short walk to the beach/harbor, as well as the hot tub.
