We had such an amazing stay here!! This place was the perfect little oasis for our honeymoon - Everything was perfectly clean, including the hot tub. We loved hanging out on the porches outside and watching the wildlife. You can even see a view of the ocean and lighthouse from the rooftop deck! Location could not have been more perfect and the house/decorations could not have been more cute! Beds were cozy & house was stocked with plenty of linens and everything we needed. Would love to come back and stay again one day. Thank you Joana and Shyamal!!

Nice cozy house

We loved the house and the location. Owners were very communicative and checked in with us during our stay. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the beautiful decks in the backyard. Short walk to the beach which is beautiful to watch the sunrises and sunsets.

Our dog loved that she got to come with!

The owner was friendly and communicative. The house was clean and had ample towels, linens, etc. The decks were so nice to hang out on after being at the beach. It was a short walk to the beach - we brought a wagon to help with our stuff to and from the beach. We would happily return for another visit.

Lovely Home

This is an inviting and comfortable home, nicely situated near a beautiful beach in Santa Cruz. We are a family of four adults who put the well-stocked kitchen to good use for an involved holiday dinner. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the mid afternoon in the sunshine on the upper deck. The beds are comfy and the hot tub was greatly appreciated. The owner graciously gave us an early check-in. We were happy to bring our well-behaved dog. Everyone had a great time!

Amazing Santa Cruz Cottage

This gorgeous cottage was the perfect stay for our family of 5. Even though it was only 2 bedrooms, the well planned layout and additional daybeds in both rooms helped us stay really comfortable. The eclectic decor is beautiful. We loved the tile countertops. The outdoor area is small but truly beautiful, feels private, nicely landscaped, and made for a great egg hunt Easter morning. The beach is about 1.5 blocks and breathtaking. We were here in April so not peak season, but every time we went down there were only a few other people there. I think this will go done in memory one of our favorite vacation rentals ever.

Lovely visit to Santa Cruz!

This is a lovely modestly-sized property that really tracks the Santa Cruz vibe. It is ideally situated on a quiet side street that dead-ends at a fantastic beach. To get to the beach there is a cliff with about 40 steps down/up to the beach, but isn’t an issue unless you have mobility issues. The deck is lovely and you can relax in the hot tub. Parking is on the street, but wasn’t an issue apart from Saturday afternoon, when we needed to park a few doors down, but not a big deal. The owners were very friendly and communicated in great detail in a timely manner. It was a wonderful week!

Very Relaxing Winter Getaway!

I had a really great time at this house. The interior of the house is beautifully decorated and lets in a lot of light. The yard is gorgeous, even in winter, with a large heritage tree and many flowering plants and visiting birds. Despite the rain, I had a really enjoyable time! I needed a solo retreat to both relax and catch up on grading papers right before the end of the semester. I can well imagine coming back soon to do more relaxing in the great hot tub and maybe even work a bit on my dissertation! This is an amazing house and garden, almost reminds me of being in a Zen center! But I think it would also be great for couples and families. It is very quick walk to the beach as well. This was my first time here; the owners were very welcoming and responsive; I hope to be a frequent return visitor and I highly recommend it!
