Housing
We will be staying at Anacapa Village. The rooms are a quad setting. Single bedrooms, every 2 bedrooms sharing a full bathroom. Every 4 bedrooms share a small dining table with chairs, a sofa and small kitchen with refrigerator, oven and microwave. The refrigerator does not have any ice trays. There are no kitchen appliances / utensils / cups or plates in the kitchen. Please pack your own if you plan on using them in your room. The housing office has a limited number of pots and pans you can borrow, if you plan on making your own food. Please make sure to return them (clean) prior to your check-out. The common area in Anacapa Village and Santa Cruz village has a full operating kitchen that you can use to cook your meals. The rooms do not have an A/C unit.
You will have a linen package in your room which includes one fitted sheet, one flat sheet, one blanket, one pillow, one pillowcase, two bath towels, one wash towel and one hand towel. You can always pack extras if you think that is not enough. The closets do not have hangers. If for any reason you need a new linen package, you will need to take your existing linen package to the housing office, pay $25 and get a clean set.
