We had such a lovely stay at this cozy apartment! It was cute, comfortable, and had beautiful views of both the ocean and the port. One of our favorite parts was falling asleep each night to the sound of the waves and the sea lions — such a peaceful and unique experience. The space felt welcoming and relaxing, making it the perfect spot for a weekend getaway. We truly enjoyed our stay and would happily come back again!

The location is excellent! A block and an half from the beach and marina. It has a nice partial view of the ocean. (Though VRBO has it located right next to the Twin Lakes Beach. Not sure why.) There’s a coffee shop and a Mexican restaurant by the marina parking lot.Deek’s deli and Adorable French bakery are very close by too. The Murray Str Bridge which is a shortest route to the boardwalk is under the construction so we had to take a long way around. Condo itself is basically equipped, there are pans and a small pot. It needs a big pot, knives, mugs and coffee maker (thank goodness for the coffee shop by the beach), kitchen towels would be nice since the kitchen is too small to have a dishwasher. Bathrooms lacked hand towels. Cleanliness - bathroom had some mold around the tub and fridge was full of old food. The host was very cooperative when I called him and notified him of food leftovers in the refrigerator and he came over right away and cleaned it all out. The whole place could use a little bit of TLC. Line the cabinets with new shelf liner paper, a fresh coat of paint or good scrubbing of cabinets, and doors etc. The aluminum blind in the bedroom is not very effective in blocking the bright light from twofloodlights next to the window. Bed was comfortable. We spent ample amount of time on the beach between cool morning walks and sunny afternoons and taking a coastal walk from boardwalk to natural bridges state beach. Thank you for a nice stay!

2/10 Terrible

Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy
ABSOLUTELY AWFUL!!! Don’t waste your time here. Dirty, unsafe and loud! The unit was absolutely filthy and I was stuck outside at midnight for 20 minutes because the door would not unlock. Standing in the dark trying to contact the host in a loud and unfamiliar area is not safe! The listing indicated AC and there was not. Only a tiny fan in one bedroom and it was 80’ in there. The bathroom had dirty towels, a disgusting uncleaned toilet, and a gross shower curtain. The couch had so much dirt on it you could not even sit on it. There was food and alcohol left in the fridge and cabinets and dirt in every corner. When contacting the host at midnight about the door being locked, he said I needed to find a key or coin to unlock it. How am I supposed to have that when traveling? When I told him how dirty the place was he then sent an elderly woman up to the unit at 12:50 AM to clean it. She said her granddaughter was supposed to clean the unit. I told him the night I arrived I would not be staying and would be leaving in the morning and would need to be refunded. I never heard from him again. I reached out to him several times as indicated on the VRBO website to do when there is an issue and no response. Terrible unit and terrible host!

We had a great experience renting from Chris. The space was clean & comfortable. The queen size bed is SO comfortable. There’s a big screen TV in the living room and bedroom as well. The only thing I would’ve liked to see was bigger sized pots to cook with and a toaster. Other than that our experience was great!

LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!! Fantastic view of the ocean and Santa Cruz harbor, steps from the beach and cafes -- a perfect weekend getaway for ocean breezes and atmosphere.The apartment is immaculate and very nicely laid out. Parking space is a great plus as parking in the neighborhood is tight.Highly recommend for a couples weekend.
