  Our family, adults and kids enjoyed this beautiful home. We have a 2 year old grandson so having a high chair was nice. The 4 bathrooms was a huge plus. Everything about this house is great; location, size, views, all around comfort.

  We had a fantastic time at this beautiful and comfortable rental. 4 familes with their kids stayed here and each family had their own room and bathroom (a huge plus). The views were phenomenol and it was walking distance to the beach. Plus there is a backyard so it was perfect for grilling and having the kids play outside. I would highly recommend this place. It was one of the best rental houses that we have stayed at and we tend to do getaway weekends with friends once a year.

  My friends and family had a wonderful stay at this home. The location was terrific for our needs - a walk across the park to see the surfers and get down to the beach. The five rooms were very comfy and the sound isolation was great - everyone had a really good night sleep. Each room had access to a bathroom which made for five isolated experiences and then a great shared group experience in the common rooms.

  O'Neill has rented the Pelton property for the past three years in conjunction with the O'Neill Cold Water Classic surf event. The house is absolutely perfect for our needs. Huge kitchen, five large bedrooms, well kept and clean. With an ocean view and within walking distance to Steamer Lane, the location is ideal. The property owners are extremely communicative and have treated our group well, which is the reason we continue to utilize the property year after year.

  While the location was convenient, the house was on a very small lot with little privacy. Before visit the owners were responsive, however it took many requests to finalize the Rental Agreement. Recommend extreme caution with communications with owners. These communication difficulties took away from the overall quality of the stay. Will not stay again.

  Recommended for: Pet owners.

  We loved the house. It fit our needs perfectly as we had a family reunion for our son's graduation from UC Santa Cruz. All contact with the owners was pleasant and professional. The house was very clean when we arrived with easy instructions for settling in and the ground were beautifully landscaped with an especially nice backyard. The location is superb on a quiet street with an ocean view set back from the pedestrian friendly and busy West Cliff Drive by a large field. We would recommend the house to anyone.

  Wonderfully decorated home... nothing like a rental house. Beautifully constructed, and cozy with plenty of room for the 10 of us. The weather in early November was warm and clear. Perfect location ~ close to ocean, but apart from the crowds. Our family had a great time and the house was everything described and more. The homeowners were quick to respond to our initial inquiry and when processing payments. But the entry code wasn't received when final payment was processed per the contract. Attempts to contact them a couple weeks before our visit went unanswered for 4 days. Our security deposit was returned only after contacting them again... 50+ days after our stay.

  Terry, thanks for allowing us to stay in your home this past weekend. It's a beautiful home and our family had a great time reuniting in Santa Cruz. The weather was great and the location could not have been better. I hope you'll allow us to stay there again in the future. Best regards... --Greg

  3 families enjoyed a great stay. The weather wa a little chilly, so roomy house was a plus. Liked the separate and quiet living room. BBQ & back yard porch wonderful additions. Close to boardwalk and great for morning walks to the lighthouse. Only drawback, linens were not placed in baths before we got there and kitchen utensil storage was a little messy. Lots of dishware & glasses were helpful for 3 families coming & going. Loved having so many bathrooms. Allowed for lots of privacy. Would stay again.
