Super Deluxe at the Best Location in Santa Cruz
Guest: Matt
(Ventura, CA)
Date of Stay: 01/13/12
Review Submitted: 01/23/12
We really had a good time here and appreciated that we could bring the cat rather than leaving him alone at home. I had a trade show to attend in San Francisco and felt it was easier to take the scenic 1.5 hour drive up the coast from Santa Cruz then to stay in the big city. It worked out really well as we were able to spend our extra time at the beach which is where we wanted to be. The super nice owners worked with us to make sure our stay was exactly what we had hoped it would be. Thanks again. We'll be back!
Recommended for:Romantic getaway, tourists without a car, sightseeing, pet owners, adventure seekers, girls getaway, age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers.
Loved it!
Guest: Best Holiday Ever for Family
(Fresno, CA)
Date of Stay: 12/24/10
Review Submitted: 01/08/11
The location is perfect - the views are spectacular - the home is very neat, clean and spacious. The decor is contemporary and uncluttered which makes it feel even more relaxing without all the clutter. The beds are all new and are super comfortable. We cooked big holiday meals and had everything we needed to prepare our family dinners. We will be back next year hopefully because our family said this was the best holiday ever!

Perfect Location
Guest: Ann
(Reno, NV)
Date of Stay: 12/03/10
Review Submitted: 12/08/10
We loved the view and location of this home, you couldn't ask for better. You can walk all of west cliff drive, walk to the wharf in one direction or natural bridges beach the other way in about 20 minutes. There are many restaurants or downtown Santa Cruz within a 10 minute drive. The only downside is the beds downstairs are very poor quality and therefore quite uncomfortable. The house is sparsely furnished and doesn't have a welcoming feeling but the kitchen is very well equipped and again, the view is spectacular.
Recommended for:Sightseeing, pet owners, families with young children, families with teenagers.
