"Breakfast"

West Cliff Getaway

10/10 Excellent

"We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. The house felt like a home and we had plenty of room. The location was AMAZING! My sisters in law and I did the Santa Cruz 70.3IM and it was perfect viewing for my niece and nephew to cheer us on since we went by several times just steps from the house. It was so close to the start/finish as well. As I mentioned the house felt like a home and there were plenty of games for the littles in our family and they really enjoyed the “vintage” TV in the bedroom. It was also great being able to walk those few steps to see all the wildlife visible from the viewpoints near the house. If we do this race again or simply visit Santa Cruz we would love to stay there again. Thank you for everything."
