Excellent stay in Santa Cruz. The owner is wonderful and made accommodations for us when we needed to come later than expected. The house is comfortable, clean, and conveniently located near the beach and fun restaurants. We look forward to returning.

Great location, cozy, responsive!
This rental house was a fantastic find! It had a truly cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing after a day at the beach. Speaking of which, the location was ideal – super close for the kids to easily go back and forth. The hot tub was a definite highlight, and we all slept great thanks to the comfy beds. The kitchen had everything we needed, even if it was a little small. Check-in was a breeze, and having parking right in front was so convenient. Plus, the hosts were incredibly responsive and helpful. Highly recommend!

Fantastic place!
We stayed here with our two adult daughters and dog for 3 nights at Christmastime — it was a cozy haven where we enjoyed walks to the beach, playing board games, cooking and soaking in the hot tub. Spotlessly clean and the owners couldn’t have been more hospitable, very easy communication. Highly recommend!

Sweet little house
Cute and comfortable vintage beach cottage! Everything was clean and in order. (We did not use the hot tub.) Our family two small senior pups enjoyed the sunny yard, Seabright Deli nearby, and walking down to the beach for sunset. Owner was easy to communicate with at checkout time. Thank you!

Rustic Cottage Near the Beach
Overall, we enjoyed staying at this cottage, even if it is a bit rustic. The proximity to Twin Lakes beach is its best selling point, but it also has a nice large back yard. The footprint is small, and some of the furniture is a bit worn. Overall though it was a nice price in a great location. The hot tub was a great perk!

Great location with yard, small and cozy home
We loved being able to walk to the beach and restaurants, also a very dog friendly area which was nice. Some bits of the house are a little run down, but overall really lovely and comfortable. You can hear the neighbors quite a bit, but that's pretty typical for the area.

Cozy relaxing cottage
Always feels like home to stay here. Perfect location on a quiet street blocks from the beach. Lovely setup for a family of four with the kids enjoying their room and spending lots of time outdoors. Kitchen and dining area saved us from having to eat out. Love the ample outdoor space. Great vibes and hang spaces. Plenty of room to separate from the children to socialize. Overall another great stay!

Very old unmaintained home.
This song is built in the 30s. Very small nice backyard with hot tub. We battled the hot tub on a daily basis because the temperature kept shutting off Suggestions for owner: Purchasing nonstick skillet, Remove cobwebs from light fixtures, Update toaster oven door won’t stay shut
