I love this beautiful place, and it’s a shame it’s sitting empty now. The Darlings have retired and put it up for sale.

Cozy, nice atmosphere, with good views. The owners are very nice, and you can walk to central Santa cruz.

The ocean view is the best thing about it. Apart from that, I wish we’d stayed in a hotel.
