4 adults and 3 kids under age of 10Great kitchen set up and great yard for relaxing 3 bedrooms upstairs and 1 on main floor Lots to do in Santa Cruz and area
The house served the ten of us well and we loved the outdoor area and the short minute walk to West Cliff Drive (where we saw whales, seals, sea otters and two dolphins (over the course of the weekend).
We stayed here for a family reunion and really enjoyed this house! The big sectional in the living room was comfortable and fit a lot of people. We loved the hot tub and fire pit. They have a lot of beach gear that you can borrow including boogie boards. Only minor issue was a dripping shower faucet. We loved how close the house was to Natural bridges and the walking path along West Cliff Drive!
The accommodations were superpb and as promised! The hot tub was especially welcoming, and enjoyable for all ages.
The location close to the beach was what drew us to this house. We had a great time at the tide pools! We also enjoyed going to the nearby Boardwalk.
All in all this was a stellar stay which we hope to repeat!
The home was absolutely beautiful, and we loved the hot tub and making smores in the backyard! All the rooms felt cozy and thank you for allowing our dog to come too. We had such a wonderful time!
Grandparents, Parents and 3 boys stayed for a long weekendPlace and location was perfect, Having the bikes was perfect for riding down to the beach.Making store's in the fire pit was a plus after the day at the beach.We hope to stay again sometime.Thank You for Sharing your home with Us
We spent a lovely weekend with our grown children, their spouses and our grandchildren in Santa Cruz. We loved the layout of the house, it met our needs perfectly. The proximity to beaches and other activities. Just a very pleasant and relaxing family time.
Geoff and Sue were very helpful and communicative. The house is very comfortable, and it is a short walk to the beach. It is also a short drive to get groceries or to downtown. We loved the quiet of this neighborhood and the access to beach and butterfly garden! A great house for our family of 10.
The location is great. The walk to the beach is a little longer than I thought it would be, but our 5 year old was able to handle it. The common area had enough sitting space for all 7 of us and the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and convenient. There were lots of books and puzzles for the kids. The host responded immediately and helpfully to any problems or questions.
The house was very nice and comfortable. It had everything we needed. A fort and swing for my grandson. Beautiful backyard. It was close to the beach, grocery stores and quant places to eat nearby. Minutes away from boardwalk by car. It actually looked nicer in person than online, usually that just the opposite. Pop pool

Reunion
We loved the ease of checking in and allowing us to arrive an hour early was great. This was a great size space for 8 women in late 70’s. Cons: could be cleaner overall. An earwig was crawling in the downstairs bedroom and nothing felt quite clean in the bathrooms. Partly age was at fault and could use some updates. Upstairs bath tub Fay et leaked constantly so a waste of water. The kitchen sink has a high pitched whine when the water runs so very annoying. Backyard had tons of spider webs on the wooden chairs and no one wanted to sit in them. Would like to say we tried our best to follow all the directions of which there were many. We did think asking us to strip the beds etc was a bit too much since we were also paying a hefty cleaning fee.
This spot was fantastic for staying as a family. The house had everything we needed and we enjoyed being able to ride around on the bikes that are available with the house. Very convenient location for the beach, boardwalk fun and amenities. We would definitely stay here again in the future!
The house is perfect for a family get away! Easy check in and well stocked. Comfy, cozy and a short walk to the beach! Lots of sun, surf and smiles! We had a blast!
