Loved staying at this cottage! The location was fantastic and our dogs loved the fenced front and back yard. This was a very character filled older property and we love that, and we definitely hope to stay there again!

Great stay! We enjoyed the cottage. Very close to twin lakes beach. The road was closed for us to easily access the boardwalk so we did have to drive further. The couch seemed very worn out. Everything else was great.

Great place and hosts!

we have stayed at numerous properties in and around Santa Cruz over the last 30 years and this one ranked right up at the top. The hosts were phenomenal with their level of communication. The property was super clean, cozy, and exactly what was depicted within the pictures on the VRBO website.

Hidden gem

Small hidden home with walking distance to the beach. Securely tucked in a fenced in yard where you can sit outside in front or backyard and enjoy the sounds of the waves or relax in the backyard under the stars in the hot tub.
