"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!"
