Great little beach house. Fantastic location, near grocery store, EV charging, restaurants, and beach as well as just a short drive to Santa Cruz and Monterey/Carmel. Had everything we needed, very comfortable for a family of 4.

This was a great spot for a family getaway. The place was comfortable and had everything we needed, from kitchen supplies to laundry detergent. Check in was super easy (no communication needed beyond getting the email a day in advance of check in). Hard to beat the location! We’d stay again.
