Description:Make yourself at home in a private detached unit studio in centrally located bright, sunny Santa Cruz Banana Belt. A charming escape destination right in the middle of Santa Cruz. Quickly accessed from the main highway running through town. A mere 5 minutes from beaches, (closest to Seabright Beach), surfing, Boardwalk, Yacht Harbor, Municipal Wharf, West Cliff Drive, Downtown shopping. Walking distance to organic foods market, fine dining, bus stops, banks/​ATM, groceries, post office, coffee shops, gym, theater, etc.. 10 minute drive to State Parks, and Santa Cruz's own Mystery Spot. Queen size bed, plus twin sleeper couch for kids/​additional guests. Bathroom with shower. fresh towels, kitchenette with dishes and utensils, oven/​stove, microwave, coffeemaker (we provide the coffee), refrigerator/​freezer. Washer/​dryer for laundry. HDTV. Private patio inside own fenced yard with lush mini black bamboo forest. Own designated private off-street parking space. Please note: **** THERE IS NO WIFI, INTERNET, OR CABLE TV ****(just making sure everybody saw that)! If this is a critical component of your vacation, then my apartment probably isn't the one to choose. But among the endless local spots here in town that provide it, The Bagelry, at 1636 Seabright Ave. - approx. 3 minutes drive from the studio - offers free wifi. Helpful hint: read my Guidebook for a few more free wifi spots. Subject to increased nightly price on certain high demand dates, and seasonal rate changes - check listing calendar as varying rates are always posted in advance. At this time, I'm sorry to report that I can no longer allow pets to stay at my rental. :( REGARDING DIRECTIONS TO MY RENTAL, PLEASE READ One of the best features of my studio is that it is a separate, detached, and very private unit from the main house on the property, with its own separate private parking space, fenced yard, and it's own, separate entrance. For these reasons, I give booked guests SIMPLE, exact directions on how to reach the studio, and I meet them there to check in. The studio has the same address as the front house, but is at the rear of the property and is accessed by an alley which runs parallel the full length of Pacheco Ave.. I always provide exact directions via email after bookings, SO PLEASE FOLLOW THEM AND MEET ME THERE, NOT AT THE MAIN HOUSE, (simply because if I am awaiting your arrival at your actual destination, I will not hear you knocking on the door of a different house). Again, if you overlook what's described here and just follow your GPS, you will end up at the wrong place. Thanks and happy travels!
