We rented a home in Santa Cruz last year to celebrate a friends 60th birthday, coulda thrown a rock into the ocean from the porch. The side of the house that faced the ocean was all glass, we sat and played cards for 3 days , watching a storm rage for the first 2, it was a good time to say the least! After looking at the map it was Soquel point where that house was, right between Santa Cruz and Capitola!
