Great Multi-Family Spot
Was in town for daughters wedding, needed a place to accommodate various families and members and this was perfect! All units were well appointed, clean, gave everyone their own space but still close to each other. Location was great too, with walking distance to beach and boardwalk. Derrick and management company was very attentive and communicated well. Looking forward to staying there again as a home base to explore the area further with space to relax after!

Family Birthday Trip
Wow wow wow. This property really is amazing. First thing I want to note is the communication between us and the host/owners was stellar. They made sure we checked in okay and even let us know about some of the fun activities going on around us for the weekend. If we had an issue (really didn’t have any but the gate getting stuck open which was an easy fix) they replied almost immediately. We had family from both sides coming so it was really nice to have our own rooms and bathrooms so no awkward waiting to go potty! We came to enjoy the beach and boardwalk for my youngest son’s birthday but the boys had just as much fun playing in the gated portion of the property. The futons were beautiful to look at, comfortable to sit on and sleep! My 4 1/2 year old and 3 year old easily shared the futon. All of the units were very clean and beautifully decorated. Beds were comfortable. All of our family were also very impressed with the property. We will definitely be coming back to make more memories.

Great accommodations and great location
We were very impressed by the property, its location, and amenities. The check-in process was well documented and easy. The host communicated the right information at the right time. The location had private parking. The rooms are clean and comfortable. We really liked having our own 'suite' for each couple and a nice outdoor space to gather. Just steps from the Santa Cruz pier and the Beach Boardwalk and a short walk to downtown we didn't have to drive the entire weekend. The check-out process was also easy and reasonable.

Family Reunion in Santa Cruz
These four units are ideal for adults travelling together, with our without little one(s). King Suites with kitchenettes and small bathrooms. The kitchenettes are poorly equipped, the TV set-up was difficult to operate, and the foldout couches are actually folddown, like a futon, which would make it difficult to put three kids to sleep on it as it makes two distinct sleeping areas. These were minor issues, really. We rented the larger property next door and we had a great time with four generations. Host is wonderful!

All rooms are so very well appointed! Beds are comfortable! Bathrooms cute and clean, shower beautiful! Great kitchen space. Outdoor patio is such a fun hang out spot! Extra shower outside helps wash off the sand. The beach and wharf just flip flops away! The owners are responsive and the care for the property shows! Love the gate and door security! Everyone was thrilled to be there.

Auxiliary space for large family reunion
We needed some extra rooms for our reunion, but only for a limited number of nights. The owners were great about accommodating this addition to our booking.

Do Not Hesitate to Book
I cannot say enough good things about this property. We were a group of 6 adults. We all enjoyed the convenience of the property location, privacy, parking, and security, The rooms were clean, comfortable and just like pics shown online . We all gushed how relaxing it was at the end of day to take a hot shower and relax in our rooms. Due to poor weather conditions, we were not able to enjoy the outdoor area. However, we unanimously agreed we have to come back again soon to enjoy it. The check in process was easy. The property manager sent short vids to assist in getting onto property. I am always anxious about new places and these vids put me at complete ease. Thank you for providing a SC haven for my family!!!
