A street address sent prior to the day of the stay would have avoided phone calls while trying to find the place. But Scott was very helpful talking us through how to get there.

We once again enjoyed our stay at the Arbor House, our favorite place to stay in Santa Cruz for many summers. We especially liked the three separate sleeping areas, comfortable beds and couches, and the wonderful sunny deck overlooking the harbor and Seabright beach. Twin Lakes beach is just a block away, as are the BCycle rentals and Sup Shack. We'll be back!

Best stay! Family friendly, clean, everything you need. Host was excellent with communication and accommodating to our early arrival. Would definitely recommend this cozy cottage. 2 min walk to restaurants and beach made for minimal driving while also making breakfast and dinners on the deck. This stay was excellent for my 40th!
