Our Family of 6 adults and 2 young kids had a wonderful and relaxing weekend at this home on West Cliff Drive. The home delivered on the scenic views of the ocean. Beaches, tide pools and restaurants are a very short drive or a short walk away. The weekend went by fast; we would love to return again for a longer stay.

Great Week in Santa Cruz

The house was clean and had everything we needed. It was great to be so close to the water, and only a few minutes drive from anything else we wanted to do. Plenty of room for our group of nine, including two teens and three younger kids.

Great views as well as great Santa Cruz location

We loved this property, the views from the living room and master bedroom balcony. Enough space for our 3 kids and friend to spread out and have their own space, with plenty of bathrooms for all. Loved the access to the biking/walking trail across the street, closeness to the Boardwalk and also loved heading to Natural Bridges beach to explore the tide pools.

Loved waking up to a view of the ocean every day. The house was roomy for our family and having the TV in the 2nd living room was nice for the children. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. The property management team was very responsive and helpful when needed. We would definitely stay there again. Thanks Marianne for sharing your house with us.

Great Stay, Despite the Weather

Our group of 9 had a great stay here this past weekend, while celebrating birthdays for two family members. The weather was wet and windy, but offered enough breaks to enjoy the nearby coastal walking path, some local parks, excellent meals out and a great trip to the nearby Seymour Marine Discovery Center. The house was definitely big enough for us all to spread out in, and offered plenty of space for games, puzzles, group meals and other activities while the rain poured outside.

Excellent property!

We had a fabulous time. If anything, the property described undersells it, as there are 4 full bathrooms, not 3 1/2. The kitchen is well-stocked with dinnerware, candles, placemats, and a lot of linens and towels. We held several dinners with 9+ easily and the ocean view and boardwalk/beach access were great! We'll be back!

Great location, beautiful view! House furnishing are worn & dated. No beach theme.

The house is in a beautiful location and is within walking distance to restaurants, breweries and wine tasting. Our mattress in the master was very comfortable. The furnishings and carpet are old, worn and dated. Definitely not a beach theme, more like hand me downs. There are no smoke detectors, they’ve either been pulled off the wall or do not have batteries. The check out is at at10 am which is a bummer.

Great property but the property manager was not responsive.

The house was great and a fantastic location, but we ended up leaving a day early because the power went out. It was out for hours and it became clear that it was unlikely to be restored so we left. The property manager did absolutely nothing to address the situation and couldn’t even bother to return my phone calls at any point over the past few weeks. We also only had one key on check-in and there was no garage door opener. The owner was kind enough to bring us a second key. Great property but useless property management.

Due to the storms, we had homes all over the county lose power. Many of our guests were compensated for the nights lost. Our property manager attempted to reach out to this guest multiple times to negotiate a refund. She graciously gave Megan her personal cell phone to be reached. Bailey Property Management will always try to advocate for our guets when they deserve a refund. We find this review unfair.

What a great view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Six guys, all eighty year old, on an annual retreat spent a week at this house. The view was amazing! The interior had just been painted and the furniture and decorations went well for the ocean location. A Safeway was close by which added to the convenience. We walked the bike path every day which was very popular with the locals.

Ideal location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This roomy home is ideal for two families and sleeps eight comfortably. There are ten chairs for the dining table, and plenty of plates. (Main set of dishes has gold rim on dinner plates, that don’t work in microwave.) Ample pots and pans for family meals. Check propane supply well before planned barbeque meal.The views and access to West Cliff walks (and Almar Shopping Center) are wonderful. It’s a short walk to Natual Bridges beach and tidepools and easy drive up to Wilder.

Wonderful Family Vacation Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were six adults and two children and this house provided us with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy ourselves. Of course, the location directly across from the ocean was a highlight. And the extra fridge in the garage was a lifesaver. Don't count on functional bikes being available, bring your own. There's plenty of garage space to store things.

House was nice - management was weak

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was great. The house was nice as well.I missed a call from the management company and called back to the number I missed. I left a message stating we were having issues with the 2 heaters and a drawer was broken. I never heard back from them. Several days after our stay, I had not heard from them about the status of my deposit. I needed to reach out to them twice. Annoying.

This property was absolutely amazing! The layout of the house was Is phenomenal. A kitchen big enough for an Italian family to all work together making some amazing food and enjoy life. This property has 2 living rooms which was perfect one with the television and 1 for just visiting. 4 let me say that again for bathrooms.... Nobody had to wait. Of course the views were stunning and we were fortunate to have amazing weather. You did have to share a driveway with the neighbor but there's plenty of parking on the street. They had plenty of beds but the beds are firm.... Next time I would just bring a topper from home to make it more softer for myself. The only complaint I have about this entire house is When you look at the floors they look clean but I had a one year old granddaughter who was in between crawling and when you're crawling on it her clothes got dirty QUICK. Nothing that a hot mop job can't take care of though.... My only recommendation is that the cleaning company actually uses a hot mop after everybody that checks out over the whole downstairs area. Other than that I would not only recommend this company but highly recommend this house. If I could give it 10 stars I would.
