Everything was nice and clean. We did have some ant activity. There were no beach chairs which would have been nice. Also no access to the patio. We did enjoy this very cute place.

Stay on the Beach

This property has everything you need. Very nice but not allowed to open the sliding glass doors. We would have enjoyed hearing the crashing of the waves if we were allowed to do this. Also since we were not allowed to open sliding doors to the outside the rooms were exceptionally hot. There is no ductwork going into the rooms for Air Conditioning. Notes say that you can park on the street.....No you can not. The driveway was so tight that I had to climb over and get out on the passenger side. Management did check in by email daily to make sure all was good. Kitchen, we didn't use but seemed to have anything and everything you would need if you chose to cook in. Last year's Coastal storm crushed the area which also made the back area not usable because the City barricaded that off. Due to the storm the pier has also been demo'd and removed as well. We were there only to sleep because we made the most out of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk daily.
