8/10 Good
"This place all around was beautiful, the location is great. My only complaint was that our coffee maker was missing a piece and I let the front office know about it and instead of getting a new piece or new coffee maker they told me oh well nothing they can do about it. They have a coffee bar from 8-10am but we have a baby so our mornings start at 5am so not having a coffee maker in the room sucked."

"Beautiful house awesome location! I know that Santa Cruz isn't usually hot this time of year, but it was in the mid to high 80s and the AC was either broken or didn't work very well at all. Just take into consideration if you are staying during the super hot months! Other than that, it was a fabulous stay!"
