Great location, very convenient to the Wharf, short drive to downtown. Well designed space. Great communication with owner. Excellent suggestions and instructions about the property. An important thing in vacation rentals, that is often overlooked, but this one is succinct and well done.

This is a unique property set back from the road, giving it an isolated feel despite being mere steps away from Westcliff. Cozy, relaxed, charming place. Khristina is great, super communicative and very fast to respond to anything you need. On the shortlist of places to consider when coming to Santa Cruz.

Westside Santa Cruz Carriage House

I absolutely loved staying at the Epworth Carriage House! It was so clean and comfortable and Khristina was very helpful and communicative. The location was perfect and I can't wait to go back to Santa Cruz and stay there again.

I can’t recommend this location enough! W. Cliff Dr. is steps away with some of the best ocean views in California. The pier and Boardwalk are also very walkable. Nights are surprisingly quiet, and because of its location you are set back from street noise and people traveling to visit the beach. The on-site parking is super convenient and the space provided accommodates a larger size SUV easily. We hope to have the opportunity for a longer stay in the future.

Very Pleasant Area and Accommodations

The carriage house is in a great location in a nice neighborhood. It's an ideal place for walking to the wharf or along West Cliff Drive. Khristina is very responsive and pleasant. The carriage house is just as it looks in the photos, very comfortable and charming. I had a very nice vacation here.

Great Stay In A Beautiful Place

This was the ideal location for a quiet yet fun weekend getaway. The space is very well maintained and paced with beautiful details. When we were ready to head out and enjoy Santa Cruz, it was a very short walk to the boardwalk, a short drive to downtown SC. The hosts were friendly, and very responsive. I’d love to stay for another weekend, and I would recommend the same to my friends!

A Fabulous Hidden Gem!

Khristina's carriage house is a perfect place to stay if you're looking for relaxed quiet elegance in an intimate setting. It's ideal location makes walking to the beach, Boardwalk, downtown Santa Cruz or just strolling along West Cliff Dr perfect any time of year. Khristina is a wonderful host and makes you feel like family the moment you arrive. My wife and I are already planning our next visit... it's just that good!
