We had a wonderful stay here with family. It was close to a lot of great restaurants, the ocean and the boardwalk. The home was very clean - always a "must have" for me. The beds were comfortable and the house was stocked with everything we needed. The check in was easy and the communication with the hosts was exceptional. I would highly recommend this property.
Great house for a short stay in Santa Cruz. Spacious for a family of 5. Just a very short drive to great restaurants and the Boardwalk. The host was easy to get ahold of. They responded very quickly to my messages.
The house was nice, clean, and in a great location. The host was so responsive and checked in to make sure we settled in okay. Everything went smooth and a great weekend getaway.
Great place to stay. Bright, clean, and pleasant. Nice beds, plush towels, and great location. We rode bikes, so having a garage was great. Ping pong table was fun. It’s on a busy corner, but the road noise at night did not keep us up. Would highly recommended. Slept our family of 5 very comfortably. Great responsiveness from host.
Property was very clean and accommodating. Everything was there that was needed. Host was excellent with communication. We had a baby and a 4 yr old that visited and there was even dishware, silverware for them! What a treat.
Can not rave about this space enough - such a quiet and cute neighborhood in the harbor. It is on a busy street but honestly we didn’t notice any traffic noise with windows shut. Walking distance from lots of great food spots too! And host was fabulous and so sweet.
Host was very attentive and responsive. We had an issue with the heater that was resolved with relighting the pilot light. Amenities were sufficient, would have liked a box or two of tissue and aluminum foil, Saran Wrap and some zip lock baggies. The beds extremely comfortable, linens and towels very nice. The location is excellent. Would definitely stay again. One maintenance issue: the main level toilet runs periodically.
