Wonderful Home - Centrally Located
The home is very beautiful and is in a great location on a quiet cul-de-sac; it is close to everything in Santa Cruz. The home is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped; it was great for the six of us. The check-in process was easy and there were no issues. Christine was great to work with and prompt in her follow up. My family and I were in Santa Cruz for our son's graduation from UCSC - availability that weekend in Santa Cruz was limited and, as much as we loved this home, the price was a bit excessive. Aside from this, the home is great.

Spacious and excellent location
The house is even better than the photos. Tons of space, natural light and almost everything you will need for a comfortable stay. The entire house was immaculately clean upon arrival. The location is perfect for families, with a nature area behind the house, a playground a few yards away, and a lovely beach a short walk down the hill. I should note that the configuration of beds does not match what was listed and represented in the photos. I would recommend the owner update that so that guests know what to expect. With two families with children, we were a little surprised to find bunkbeds when none were listed/pictured and had to make some last minute adjustments. Other than that, this place was perfect and I would highly recommend.

The house is even more beautiful in person! It is incredibly well stocked with everything you could possibly need and Christine couldn’t be nicer or more responsive. Plenty of space to be together and also to find privacy/space/quiet when you want it. Huge plus is walking distance to beach and walking trails. Couldn’t imagine a better vacation!

Great beach stay
We had a large group of family in town for an event. This space was perfect and comfortable for our group! We liked the large kitchen and living room areas for group hangouts. We walked to Harbor Cafe and Twin Lakes Beach as well. There are a lot of signs in the property so you don’t have to search for Wi-Fi or check out information. Check out was super simple (no long cleaning lists!). Communication with the property manager was easy. We’ll definitely stay here again next time we have a group in town.

Amazing house in Santa Cruz!
We were here for our daughter's graduation from UCSC and the house was perfect to house family and host gatherings. Great layout for a quiet celebration! Christine was super responsive and helpful when we had questions. The house sits on a very quiet cul-de-sac and we loved hearing the birds from the park in back. Everything was clean, well-stocked and comfortable! Loved having two different living room areas for different activities. We would definitely return!

Rented this property for a group of four friends to visit Santa Cruz. The house is large and in very good condition. We had plenty of space to be together or to hang out separately. The house had all the amenities that we needed. The host was very communicative with check-in and check-out information, as well as with things to do. Highlights were the short walk to the beach/harbor, as well as the hot tub.

A wonderful home in Santa Cruz
We recently stayed at this property and had a wonderful time. This beach community has so many things to see and do. The home is beautiful and worked perfectly for the 4 couples in our party. The home is well appointed with all the latest appliances and features. Wifi worked great. TVs in almost every room. Plenty of room for gatherings and lots of nooks to find some alone time if needed. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub. Christine - our host was extremely attentive to all our needs and questions. She is a fast and thorough communicator. This location is defiantly on our shortlist for any future visits to Santa Cruz.
