This place was close to everything you might be like to visit in Santa Cruz and surrounding area's. The room was large enough to accommodate my wife and I and two large dogs. The area was quiet, easy to walk to multiple beaches withing half a mile.

What an experience. Every part was electronic communication via text and email. We had no issues upon entering, staying, or leaving the property. Room was very comfortable and as described. There were small kitchen items for anything you might need during your stay. The bed and pillows were very comfortable. My only complaint was the individuals staying above us. They woke up every day during our stay at 6 am and were not very quiet, moving furniture and walking heavily. If you are a light sleeper, I recommend choosing the second floor for your stay.

Good place to visit and stay. Parking spaces are on the small side which is somewhat expected by the beach.

Bella Notes was exactly as advertised. Clean, easy to check in/out, easy parking. The bunk beds (room 2) made it easy for three of us to each have a bed.
