Relaxing oasis

We loved our 3-night stay in this cute spot. The private backyard and patio furniture was great for outdoor meals. The bed and bedding was super comfortable. Overhead fans were all we needed to keep cool. Very quiet street; tons of privacy. We appreciated the host's thorough communication and pet-friendly policy. The beach is a very short walk away (at the end of the street). Would love to return and stay here again.

Charming!

It was all we needed. Adorable home. It was well appointed and stocked with coffee, filters, liquid soap, toilet paper, and laundry soap. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants at the marina. The back porch/ yard is charming. If the weather would have cooperated, I could have spent an afternoon lounging with a good book. There is also a front porch with darling window boxes full of beautiful flowers. Even though the apartment in the back is also rentable; it wasn’t a problem having neighbors so close. Check in/ out was flawless and super easy.

Better than you expect!

5 Star Review! The pictures do not do this place justice. Its perfectly comfortable and suitable for a couple on a trip to Santa Cruz. The location was perfect for us, considering what we had going on while we were there.The living room furniture and the bed were comfortable. Plenty of towels available. The back patio was a very nice place to unwind at the end of the day. Furniture is comfortable and there are more chairs and small tables present, that are not shown in the listing photos.We did have a couple of hiccups but I'm not going to stray away from the 5 star rating as they are all more inconveniences than anything else. Plus they are all fixable.Kitchen - One of the cutting boards had crumbs and some food debris stuck to it.The kitchen knives were incredibly dull. Dull to the point that trying to cut a tomato, turned it to mush.There was a very dirty sponge left at the kitchen sink and the Dawn dishwashing liquid was practically empty. BBQ - Gas grill, located on the side of the house, which is not in the pictures. The propane tank was empty but there was a spare nearby. The grill surface had food residue stuck to it. There is a brush provided but it should probably be replaced soon as it was not the most effective at cleaning the grill surface. The ignition switch did not work either. Luckily, I found some matches in one of the kitchen drawer and was able to get the grill working.

Beautiful property excellent location- just as advertised and very comfortable. Note that there are no cooking basics in the kitchen (salt, pepper, oil) which made cooking hard without buying a lot of supplies.

The house was clean, the bed comfortable and it was a short walk to the beach. We enjoyed the back patio in the evenings. The communication with the host was great. I would have given this house a 5 star rating except there were absolutely no condiments, not even salt and pepper.

Perfect Getaway

This beach house was ideal in every way. The design and style of the decorating was stunning and the layout of the back and front yards with tropical vibes made for the perfect romantic getaway. Plus the bathroom was amazing. This house is spectacular and if we could give it more than 5 stars we would.
