About the host

Hosted by Derek Timm

Host profile image
We enjoy hosting visitors to Santa Cruz. It is a special place and we have enjoyed sharing it with friends from around the world.

Why they chose this property

Located in a prime location, we just rebuilt this property (literally took it down to the studs, and replaced, plumbing, electrical, roof, and every interior). We hired a professional designer to make it so welcoming- we hope you will enjoy. Its a perfect location across from the beach and walking distance to the boardwalk, shopping, dining, and the state parks. Once you arrive, no need to get back in your car.

What makes this property unique

The location makes it really ideal- and it is essentially like having your own private hotel. FOUR separate remodeled fully equipped suites, each with there own full kitchen and bath. Private Gated parking- plus great amenities. It is truly a gem. PLUS you can combine with the property next door for larger groups.
