I rented the Yacht Harbor Beach Cottage for five days at Christmas. It was adorable, comfortable, very well equiped with a beautiful back yard and spa. The location is the best as are the beds. It was raining most of the time we were there, but it didn't matter with a great TV and comfy chairs and sofa for reading our books. Can't wait to rent again when it is sunny. Thanks so much. Tutu

Most comfortable Bed Award

Lovely cottage-we really enjoyed our stay. I think you should get the BEST BED award. The mattresses were so comfortable. We stay in a lot of hotels & vacation homes & I can definitely vouch for the beds & furnishings are up to the standards of a 5 STAR HOTEL! It would have been nice, in the future, if we could have ordered basic groceries since our flight arrived so late, but were thankful there was some coffee grounds available for our 1st morning. #CoffeeAddict We wish you many blessings and the cottage was a blessing for our little get-a-way, -b.reid

Beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean, cozy home full of charm, sophistication, character and serenity. Perfect in every way for a comfortable, and comforting happy Santa Cruz stay. I was here for two weeks and loved every minute! The owners are wonderful! I cannot say enough good about them. They are professional and totally available to answer all questions. They have thought of every detail. Garden and hot tub are so pretty and relaxing. Santa Cruz, where I went to college is vibrant, colorful and the coast is oh so gorgeous! Come, stay, you will be so glad you did. This location affords you the best of everything, close to downtown, Capitola and everywhere in this great California gem of a city!!!

Owner response: Elizabeth, Thank you so very much for your kind comments. We truely enjoyed having you as a guest and are thrilled that you had such a wonderful trip! We suspect our paths will cross again and we look forward to it!!!

Our stay at the Yacht Harbor Beach Cottage was perfect! Our son, small dog and my husband and I enjoyed our stay to the fullest. We had the perfect weather, enjoyed the fabulous hot tub and privacy in the backyard and were really able to relax on our annual vacation. The house itself was clean and comfy and very cozy for our family. We would recommend this cottage to any small family or single couple. Thank you for the best vacation. We are returning next year! *****

Mixed

Our family of three stayed at the beach house for three nights in June. We had mixed feelings about our stay. The location and walkability to the beach and restaurants was a huge score. The backyard is a really lovely private oasis, thanks to the plantings and landscaping. The owners were also easy to communicate with and quick to respond. The negatives for us were that the house was very hot and stuffy with no fans or AC and very little cross ventilation because of the window situation. Because of this, the house had a strong and unpleasant pet odor that was difficult to escape. The beds were very hard and uncomfortable with a plastic feel from the bed cover. Overall, this beach cottage is in a great location and has a wonderful outdoor space. However, it is also more tattered and cluttered than what the photos lead you to believe.

Recommended for: Tourists without a car, pet owners.

Charming Place...

Guest Holli B.

Review Submitted 06/14/12

This was a lovely quite place that was in the heart of it all. My husband and I spent our first weekend away from our daughter. This was our anniversary weekend getaway. It was just what we needed. We were able to enjoy the crowds at the beaches and local attractions and come back to a quite and comfortable cottage. We even took NAPS!!! It was clean, stylish, private, and COMFORTABLE. The only two items I would say is the place does have WiFi but no instructions on how to get onto it. Second if you are wanting to nuggle down for the night and watch a movie bring your own. The TV is basic cable. But I am sure most folks wont be doing that. We will come back from sure.

Owner response: Thank you so much for the kind comments and good suggestions. We are so glad you enjoyed your stay!! The WiFi should have come up without a password, but we will go ahead and leave instructions as to that in the cottage. Good idea!!! Enjoy and we look forward to your return!

Beautiful Beach Cottage Inside and Out

We had the good fortune of spending three nights at the Yacht Harbor Beach Cottage. We walked to/from the beach and the boardwalk. We thoroughly enjoyed the very private and serene garden that is equipped with a hot tub that fit the four of us comfortably. Perhaps our kids sum it up best: "May 28, 2012: I had a fabulous time in the hot tub. Me and my sister enjoyed playing checkers. I really like the (bowl) of shells. I really liked the food you had. I cannot wait for when we come back. All is happy. Kyle (7 years old) Thank you for letting us stay in your cottage. Love, Quinn (4 years old)" Enjoy!!

Our family of four and dog had a great getaway weekend at this lovely and perfectly located Santa Cruz cottage. We walked to the beach and cafes, watched movies and played games and just generally enjoyed ourselves. The property is comfortable and cozy with all you need for a great time. The kids loved the hot tub and the dog loved the yard. We highly recommend. kate, sandy, julian, ariana and posey

Wonderful cottage in a fantastic location! The outdoor space is one of my favorite parts that includes a hot tub, bbq grill, and space for our dog to run around. The accommodations were very clean and the owners were very helpful/kind with the rental process! Would definitely go back and enjoy a great weekend at the beach again!

My wife and I and another couple shared this house for a short getaway in Santa Cruz recently. It was the perfect place for us to stay. The house is very inviting with its beautiful landscaping, hot tub and comfortable beds. It is about a five minute drive to the Boardwalk and a short cab ride to the downtown area where there are great restaurants and nightlife. All in all I would definitely recommend this house and would stay there again on my next trip to Santa Cruz.
