Great location near the beach and easy drive to restaurants and grocery stores. Cathy was easy to communicate with and offered earlier check-in when the cleaners were done. Our family had a wonderful time with our stay.
We loved this house! The front yard is amazing and very relaxing. We enjoyed the hot tub and hammock in the backyard. The location is great and a short walk from the beach. The house was exactly how the pictures looked. Would definitely stay here again.
Cathy’s home was perfect for our little family. We enjoyed the hot tub, walking to the ocean staircase, and little surprise visits from Sam. The house is well-stocked and very clean. We would love to visit again.
This cottage was perfect in every way…cleanliness, location, beautiful space indoors and out, and it was stocked with everything we needed. The host was easy to reach if I had a question and was more than gracious in her responses. I will definitely be back!
We absolutely LOVED staying at this beautiful home! Me and my bestie and our kids had everything we needed and more! It’s beautiful, cozy, calming, peaceful and we will definitely be back! Highly recommend.
This is such a charming and comfortable home. Has everything you need for a relaxing Santa Cruz stay! Great communication with the owners and is definitely on my list to stay again.
We stayed right before the Christmas holiday. The house was decorated with a tree, Christmas lights and cute decorations. Close to the beach and to downtown. Looking forward to staying again.
We had such a wonderful stay! The house was a great size for our family of 4 with 2 small children. We especially appreciated all the kids' gear and toys that were available for us to use, and the hosts were very welcoming. The location was great too.
There's always something, about every place we've stayed. But this place - communicative/friendly owners, clean, amenities, great location - we definitely plan to stay again!
This property was immaculate in cleanliness and provided all the necessary items. The hot tub, bikes and location were icing on the cake. Communication with the owner was easy. Definitely would stay again! Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Beautiful property to stay at while visiting family in the Santa Cruz area. Loved the hot tub, hammock, kids toys and proximity to the beach! Great home away from home. Thx!
This home was perfect for a girls getaway at the beach. The hosts were amazing and the house had absolutely everything we needed and more. You couldn’t ask for a better location or home to stay at in Santa Cruz!
Great location, close to beach. Big kitchen., nice outdoor space. Teens got to visit boardwalk and adults got to roam nearby beaches. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Clean, Wonderful space. The location was perfect for our little fam of 3. The hosts were quick to reply and provided everything needed for a weeks stay. We visit every year in January and are already looking forward to next year.
My family enjoyed this lovely, spacious, well-stocked guest house near the beaches and Santa Cruz. Cathy, the host, was super accommodating and kind—this is a real gem.
I was so happy booking this house. Good location. The house is so cute and clean. I loved all the extra touches throughout. Would definitely stay and recommend again
I am actually a longtime resident of the area and wanted to treat myself to a staycation for my birthday, so I knew that the house was in a great area near my fav beach. (Walking distance!) The house was perfect, so comfortable with a great, well-stocked kitchen and cool extras like bicycles, movies and games, boogie boards and wetsuits and more. The hosts were so nice and easy to communicate with and ready to help in any way!Now I know where my visiting family can sta!
