“I appreciate that this historic house sits conveniently close to both the boardwalk and the river. The owners seem genuinely attentive, and the breakfast spread, while simple with its fruit, juice, bread, and yogurt, sounds satisfying. It strikes me as a solid choice for couples seeking a welcoming, unfussy stay in Santa Cruz.”
