Bucks Beach Bungalow was everything we were looking for. It is a great place to stay, seconds away from some of the best surf in the nation – this is the spot! If you want to surf, or learn to surf, call ED at ClubEd. Recommended by Buck, Ed was a fantastic surf instructor. We ended up in the water surfing for 4 days only having to walk our boards seconds to the coast. The Begonia Festival was so much fun. We rode Buck’s bikes into Capitola and back a few times! After a long day of surfing the amazing hot tub was just the relaxation we needed. Fun Things We Did: Seabright Brewery Crows Nest patio Naka Sushi (wonderful spot for authentic amazing sushi) BBQ on BBB patio Shoppers corner grocery Store – a local gem full of great produce and fresh seafood ready to grill Club Ed Surf lessons – a friend and wonderful surf instructor O’Neil Surf Shop – support the local heritage of O’Neil legend The Boardwalk! So much fun!! Roller coaster, walked up the wharf and saw lounging sea lions Can’t wait to get a Trader Joes in Austin! What a great store. All in All the location, the info and advice given by Judith and Buck made this little getaway the perfect combination of relaxing local surf culture, a plethora of fun activities like foosball and b8iking the coast, with day trips to the Santa Cruz mountains and Monterey less than an hour away! Can’t beat it. Made new friends we can wait to come visit again next summer. Thanks you Bucks! P.S. We really like checking out all the great mementos you have collected over the years in the Bungalow. It was actually quite educational as well as fun! Very much appreciate you letting us landlocked folks partake in the great surf culture this truly special place in the USA has to offer. Santa Cruz is a special place, truly unique, vibrant and beautiful!

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with young children, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Owner response: Thank you sooo much for your great review. Its always a delight to meet folks like you that have so much zest for life and really take advantage of a lot of the great things to see and do around here. Also looking forward to giving you your 5% return guest discount on you next visit. Hugs, the Bucks

Thanks for letting us stay in your charming and well-provisioned personal home. It saved us many hours provisioning which turned out not to be necessary for basic items. We love vacation home stays as they are typically not unpersonal and antiseptic like hotels. You can't even cook in hotels, and are forced to spend hundreds of dollars in restaurant fees and tips. We loved Pleasure Point and the dogs loved Twin Lakes, Bonfires on the beach, The Crow's Nest and Johnny's Harbor House Restaurant for fine dining food. The Free Bands on the Beach was fun too! Again, we really appreciate your home and Beach Hide Away! From Saratoga, CA and Howwood Scotland, UK Margaret, Rob, Dillon, and Kevin and the dogs (Broxks and Harry)

Bucks Beach Bungalow is a treasure at a wonderful location at Pleasure Point a world class surfing location and site for the upcoming movie "Of Men and Mavericks". Buck was a personal friend of Jay Moriarity and his wife Kim and neighbors and surfer friends Frosty and Zouf - who are the real life people the movie was made after. Buck saw Jay a couple weeks before his accident in the Maldives and remembers a huge smile on Jay's face before they both went out surfing Pleasure Point! We had a wonderful time with the beautiful beach walks on EastCliff Pleasure Point with views across Monterey Bay. The house is well provisioned as any personal home would be - saving us time and very convenient. The back yard is gated for pets, but the pet-walks are awesome. The Hot Tub is First Class with wonderful massage jets!!!!! Nearby restaurants are very good. The Bungalow is centrally located in Santa Cruz, and everything is within a short walk, bicycle ride, or by car. There are many activities all summer long, and we were lucky to reserve early during the premium summer weeks. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful Bungalow with us!

Huge Disappointment

Guest Carol from Modesto

Review Submitted 07/16/12

We did enjoy our week in Santa Cruz/Capitola. Rental location was convenient and pet friendly. However, the bungalow itself was a huge disappointment. Not very clean with "stuff" everywhere and it felt extremely "lived in". The bikes were not well cared for and rusty. The foosball table was completely different than the one in the picture and it was basically falling apart and missing a handle. The boogie boards and wet suits were falling apart (probably because they aren't stored properly). It took my husband 30 minutes to scrub the waffle iron so that we could use it. It was filthy along with a lot of the other kitchen items. The cupboards and refrigerator had used/opened food items (who knows how old)? The biggest issue we had was the owners being at the property 4 out of the 5 days we were there. Several of the days we'd come home from an outing to find a car in the small parking area behind the house which made it very difficult to park. One day in particular, I stayed home with our dog while my husband and kids went to the boardwalk. I was working on the computer and to my surprise, there was a knock at the back door. Before I could get out of the chair, Judith (the owner) was entering the house, even though my very large german sheppard was right there. She continued to come in saying she forgot something that she needed to get (fortunately for her, my dog is well behaved). That same day she was there from about 9:30am until at least 6:30-7:00 at night and during that time there was another car that parked in the space, preventing us from parking there. In our contract, it was stated that the storage unit/computer room is accessed "occasionally"...but it became clear to us that this place is used as an office and they apparently are there every day during the week. On another occasion, Buck called and suggested that the following day would be a good day for an outing because PG&E was coming sometime between 8:00 and Noon and he didn't know how much access they would need. All in all, I would not rent this place again or recommend it to anyone. For what I paid to rent this place...I could have had a really nice hotel close to the beach with daily maid service. IT IS WAY OVERPRICED FOR WHAT IS OFFERS, NOT TO MENTION A COMPLETE DISAPPOINTMENT AND VERY UNPROFESSIONAL.

Pleasant, Clean, Comfortable...But Do the Math First.

Let me start by saying this is a charming, pleasant, well-appointed cottage in a great part of Santa Cruz/Capitola, The owners were very nice and accommodating, and there is nothing really misleading at all about the listing. My family of 2 adults, two toddlers and an infant had a very nice stay. Great library of CDs and DVDs, well-stocked kitchen, bikes, boogie boards, wet suits, etc., all very much appreciated. All that said, the cleaning fees, "booking fee," taxes etc. added 45% per night to the quoted base rate. The total was about what you would pay for a room at the Post Ranch in Big Sur or another luxury resort/spa. We felt the total price paid wasn't really reasonable for what we got. Again, a perfectly nice, well equipped little place, but at the end of the day it's a very small, one-room cottage with a Murphy bed + futon, a tiny back yard, a small front porch fronting a street (not the ocean) in a residential neighborhood, and still a drive to the main beaches of the area. The beach that is nearby is a strip of sand at the bottom of a bluff, inaccessible during high tide. The "$10,000 hot tub with colored lights" is nice, but no different than any other above-ground, hose-filled spa you would find at a hundred other VRBO rentals in California. The foosball table was broken, and the gas grill was kind of filthy (no biggie, but still....) Bottom line, it's a charming, lovely little place, and we had a very nice time. If it had cost the base rate + 10% or even 15%, we would have left feeling extremely satisfied and that we got our money's worth. But when you're paying luxury resort rates you start to notice the details, and we left feeling a bit gouged.

Recommended for: Pet owners, romantic getaway.

I am reviewing this vacation rental company aGreatPlaceToStay.net who also owns Bucks Beach Bungalow because they took such good care of us when the home that we had reserved with another person, turned out to be double-booked. There my family was, sitting in the car after a 5-hr drive, when I was told by the people in the home, that they had reserved the home and had been there for 2 of the 5-nights that they had paid for. I Goggled Vacation Rental homes on my iPod and was happy to see that aGreatPlaceToStay.net was still open as it was after 6pm on a Sunday night. When I called, I was invited to come to their office which was just a couple of blocks away and easily review the homes that were available from their computers. We narrowed it down to 3-homes, and Geri took us to each and explained the differences to help us decided which would be the best for us. We ended up taking the 2nd of the 3 we saw and were very pleased to have the Housekeeper show up within 20 minutes and deliver a welcome bouquet of fresh flowers. She also asked permission to take a quick look around and make sure that the home was completely ready for us. She found a spider-web (they can make a new one every day) and removed it for us, and when we said we wanted to go somewhere to eat, she also told us of a couple of her favorite restaurants that were in the area. The Pink Godzilla was fabulous! This company really understands the meaning of service and I am happy to recommend them to anyone who likes to be treated as an honored guest.

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, people with disabilities, age 55+, families with young children, girls getaway, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, sightseeing.

Owner response: Thanks for making us feel like HEROS!! We really appreciate working with you and are happy to give you a 5% return guest discount the next time you stay in one of our Family-loved Vacation Rentals in the Santa Cruz area. Judith

Review Submitted 08/27/10

Our overall experience was very poor. When we selected this rental it was advertised as a 1 bedroom, two bath bungalow. There are no bedrooms in this rental. There is one sleeping alcove, and a futon in the living room. Both areas can be closed off with curtains. There is only one bathroom in the rental. Another bathroom is available for use but it is across the back yard and in an entirely separate building. I would describe this rental as a studio with one bathroom. In our opinion the rental was neither clean nor well maintained. We found very dusty furniture, floors and window blinds. Many of the kitchen utensils were greasy and grimy. The counter top appliances (juicer, etc.) were dusty and spotted with what appeared to be dried on food. The fountain on the front deck was full of dirty water and mosquito larva. We were horrified to find a dead bird in the fountain. The conditions in the rental were so poor that we did not want to stay there. We notified the owner that we would be finding another place to stay and we asked for a refund. We were offered a gift certificate, which we declined. Eventually we did receive a refund. This was a very upsetting and disappointing beginning to our vacation.

Owner response: Are you ever amazed at people who don’t read contracts? He admitted he had not read it, but it was still all my fault that the home was not ready and they went and paid for another one. As it turns out my housekeeper was in a car accident and was not able to get to the home as scheduled (in fact I did not know about her problems until 2 days later as her jaw was wired shut.) But on our contract, we state at the very top, our Guarantee. Which is: Guarantee for Home - We spend a lot of time making sure the homes are in the best possible shape for your stay. Of course, we are human, so sometimes you may need to call us to resolve something. This is the procedure to get something handled: 1) When you arrive, please look carefully at the home. Any time within 3-hours of your arrival, we can be called and we will be happy to help you even if it means switching you to another home in our network at no extra charge. 2) This does not exclude the possibility of some appliance etc breaking due to its lifecycle. If that happens, you can call at any time, 24hr/7days a week to our all hours toll-free number 1-888-357-4345. 3) If you wait to tell us about something that you wanted handled until you get home, there is nothing we can do about it. 4) In other words, we will do everything possible to make the home be the way you want it during your stay. We will not be able to refund or give any other compensation for anything that you feel was not right, if you don't give us a chance to fix it. It is a sad commentary, but some people have been known to lodge complaints about things after they have left the home, for the sole purpose of getting a refund. A home is a very complicated place with thousands things that can go wrong, so we ask your patience and help in keeping it as good as it can be. Most of our guests are home owners and know all too well that snafus can happen with the best of intentions and take these events with a grain of salt. To them, we are grateful and we are happy to have them back as guests and offer a 5% discount as a gesture of our appreciation. There was no win with these people. We can only hope that others who read this will understand and notice all the great reviews we have had, and take this one as an unfortunate happenstance, that we hope will never happen again. The Owners of aGreatPlaceToStay.net Vacation Rentals – A network of friends with 70+ family loved vacation homes for you to choose from for you and your guests.

The 4 of us had a great time in this small, but well equipped rental. Its is a short walk to the ocean where there is a great dog park (locals call it "the dirt farm") as well as the beaches which are pet friendly, even with mutt mitts supplied. Our lab really enjoyed playing with the other dogs and we learned a lot from the locals who bring their dogs down for a daily run - best time is around 8:30am or around 5pm. We enjoyed watching the surfers skim over the waves too. We also enjoyed several of the movies the home supplied. Great kitchen too. Thanks Darcy and Seth

Myself, 2 daughters & a Brittany Spaniel "Copper". We did have a fabulous time! The Bungalow was perfect for us. Our favorite parts were the fancy jacuzzi and the incredibly equipped kitchen . We had fun cooking together. The boogy boards were so much fun. Had never done that before, but took them down to the twin lakes beach and had a blast! Great Getaway!

We came for our 25th Anniversary, and it was just perfect!! My wife gave me all sorts of credits for having had fresh flowers put in the Bungalow (I didn't have the heart to tell her that the owners always have them for new guests) Really enjoyed waking up and rolling out the the very private hot tub and listening to the waves and occasional sea lions in the distance while sipping a hot cup of coffee. Took the bicycles out for a fun ride over to the boardwalk and a great lunch on the pier. Also enjoyed the firestove and the shiatsu massage chair. Hope to come back for another anniversay celebration soon. Jim & Mandy from San Francisco

Wow! What a nice place. Had a great time with the kids and the dogs! They even let me beat them a foosball once. Took the bicycles down the Village and played Volleyball on the large sandy beach. The grown-up enjoyed frosty Margaritas at Zeldas right next to the sand. Also enjoyed a short trip down to the Monterey Bay Aquarium... We'll be back. Thanks
