SLEEPING ARRANGEMENTS
- Bedroom: 1 queen bed

-- THE LOCATION --

The biggest perk of this retreat is the location. Downtown Santa Cruz is two and a half blocks away; there, you'll find yourself surrounded by an eclectic downtown scene offering street performers, local boutiques, vintage stores, and dining on any cuisine you might desire. Dining options and convenience stores abound nearby, so you shouldn't have any problem finding them. The San Lorenzo River is just a short walk away, as well as the well-known and iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which is is one of the town‚s main draws, offering family-friendly fun year-round. Visit Municipal Wharf and listen to the calls of the sea lions, rent surfboards and hit Cowell's Beach in search of the perfect wave, or rent some bikes and explore some of the nearby paved trails. You better pack your sunscreen and beach towel! The soft sands of Santa Cruz Beach are less than half a mile from you! Other attractions include the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, a day trip to San Francisco (77.5 miles), and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, only 46 miles south.

    Great place and within walking distance to all of the boardwalk, wharf and other popular areas. We were able to find parking when we needed it and the bungalow was cozy and had everything we needed. Highly recommend for just 2 people.

    My husband and I just got married last weekend and wanted to do a little mini moon getaway in Santa Cruz. The bungalow is cute and perfect distance from the beach/boardwalk and downtown. Our only recommendation would be a mattress topper for the bed. The bed was very uncomfortable and we both had backaches every morning. Other than that, we highly recommend!

    We stayed for 26 days in Santa Cruz to help out and spend time with our daughter, son-in-law, 3 yr old granddaughter and newborn grandson. We have stayed in Santa Cruz many times but not close to the boardwalk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This location was perfect to spend time with our daughter's family during the day and able to enjoy the evenings downtown and at the boardwalk. The house is half of a duplex with the owner, Keith next door. He is so nice, friendly and very helpful as to giving us recommendations of favorite places to go close by. The house was clean, bed comfortable, and good shower pressure. The kitchen was clean and had what we needed. The location was on a quiet street and street parking was easy to find. A parking pass was provided. We would definitely book a stay here again.
