We absolutely loved our stay! The location was amazing, the home was beautiful, comfortable, and had everything we needed. We especially appreciated that it was dog-friendly, which made bringing our furry family member so easy. The hosts were wonderful—friendly, responsive, and made us feel right at home. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!
We stayed 3 nights, the location was great for getting to the Boulevard and Henry Cowell State Park. We walked to the beach and had fun exploring the area. Definitely would stay here again!

We're so glad you enjoyed your stay! We look forward to having you back. :-)
This stay was the highlight of our family vacation! You truly can't beat the location. It is in walking distance from many coffee shops and cute stores, beach is down the street and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk is a quick drive! We loved the feel of the house, it is cozy and comfortable and fresh! The master bedroom doesn't have a tv up like the photo but my husband and I were out roaming the town so often we found we didn't even need it!The kitchen is beautiful, the hot tub was so well kept and clean along with the grill, the backyard was a wonderful gem- my sun pup couldn't get enoughThe host provided great instructions and also had wonderful recommendations in the welcome binder! Couldn't have had a better time

Thank you so much. We hope you are able to return soon. Definitely a spot to enjoy, we are so glad you did.
This house has a great location. The yard is really nice. Great hot tub area. Also it is well supplied. It was cozy and comfortable for four adults. but might be a little tight for 6 adults.
The house was very clean! The communication was so awesome. Very prompt! House is well stocked and a great location!

Great family vacation home!
We loved our stay at the Oasis - truly a great vacation rental in Pleasure Point. The house is very comfortable and relaxing and the location is perfect. Walking distance to everything you need. We will for sure be back someday! Thank you!
We were a group of six adults gathering for a 60th birthday celebration. The house is well located to the beach and also walkable to shops and restaurants as well. The owners were very responsive to any requests we made and the house is well stocked w amenities, esp the kitchen.

Thanks for your kind review! We do our best to stock the kitchen as we'd want it for an extended stay.
We loved our time at this property! We felt like we got to experience “living like locals” in this charming home on a great street- and within walking distance to all of our favorite Capitola sights, eats and shopping. Our family enjoyed spending time together in the beautiful yard and the lovely common areas. The hosts were amazing- communication was timely and they were so flexible and accommodating.

It really is a great neighborhood. We're so glad you got to enjoy it as much as we do. :-)
We stay at this property every year, and it never gets old. It is in a great location- close to the beach, shops, restaurants, short drive to Boardwalk and Capitola. The house is always very clean and comfortable. Communication with property manager is seamless. Can’t wait to go back next year.
This property was perfect for our quick Mother's Day weekend getaway. It was exactly as described. Close to lots of shops, restaurants, corner market. Couple blocks from the beach. The yard was fully enclosed, perfect for our pup!Hot tub was an added bonus! We loved that the house was 1 level perfect for bringing our elder parent. We will definitely stay here again.for bringing your pup wonderful hot tub

House Stay
Beautiful Home and we had a great time... would've given 5 stars but....only bad thing was the loud neighbors!!!!! Up and loud until after 3am
Response from VrboOwner on Apr 3, 2020
I am very sorry to hear that the neighbors were loud. This is definitely not something that happens normally. It is unfortunate that our kind guests have rules to follow and the neighbors broke them. Again very sorry for that.
We stay at Pleasure Point Oasis every year. It is a lovely house with a spacious fenced in yard, close to shops, restaurants and the beach. The house is fully equipped with everything you need. Great communication with the host. House is always clean and comfortable. Plenty of towels, linens, family games, beach toys and more. Set up with a Roku Tv to login to all your streaming apps to enjoy during your stay. We will be back next year!

Exceeded expectations
We loved the house. It was attractively furnished and very clean. Our dog enjoyed the yard which is completely enclosed with a high fence. The location was convenient and we could walk to the beach and neighborhood restaurants. Jewlia and Frank were very responsive and pleasant to deal with. We would certainly stay there again.

A perfect weekend getaway
We visited the Oasis for a long weekend to celebrate my teenage son's birthday with lots of surfing. The house was perfect - a nice big kitchen area, expansive yard, lovely master suite and bath. We also love the Pleasure Point neighborhood which has a very close knit community feeling and easy walking access to all kinds of shops. We will definitely return! Thank you.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at this was a very nice family-friendly home. It was close to everything; the only issues were the noise from the construction next door which posed challenges for our baby taking daytime naps and a couple bug incidents. Otherwise, very clean; the split sleeping quarters worked perfectly for us. Weather was too cold at night to use the hot tub, but it appeared to be in working condition. Everything was fairly easy to use. Would stay here again.

Thanks for taking the time to give us this positive review, and the feedback about your stay. I'm very sorry about the construction noises next door. They were supposed to be finished with it months ago!
Please write to me directly about any other issues you encountered so we know how to deal with them. We want all of our guests to be as comfortable as possible.
FYI, if you decide to stay with us again, you might try the hot tub. We very much enjoy sitting outside in the steamy water, especially when temperatures dip into the 50's and below. :-)
5 Stars – Perfect Beach Getaway for the Whole Family (Pups Included!)We had such a wonderful stay at this beach house! The location was absolutely perfect—just a short walk to the sand and ocean, and close enough to shops and restaurants while still feeling peaceful and private.The house was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing family vacation. There was plenty of space for everyone, including our dogs, who loved the fenced yard and nearby beach walks. The outdoor space was a favorite spot for morning coffee and evening hangouts.It truly felt like a home away from home, and the hosts were friendly, responsive, and made sure we had a great experience from start to finish. We’d definitely love to come back!Highly recommend this spot to anyone looking for a relaxing, pet-friendly beach escape.

Thank you for such a glowing review! We are always happy to welcome you back anytime you’d like to visit again.
We had a wonderful week staying this Santa Cruz location. The home was well furnished, very clean with a beautiful garden. The location couldn’t have been any better. It was a short 8 block walk to the beach and ten minute bike ride to downtown Capitola. Restaurants and coffee shops were right around the corner and Hwy 1 was just a couple of miles down the road. We enjoyed our visit so much we are trying to get a reservation for next year.
My wife and I came from Lodi to visit our son and grandkids for a week. Paradise Point Oasis is spacious enough for us to host a family gathering with everyone. The kitchen is well equipped and the table seats eight. we cooked out doors on the gas grill two nights. It’s an easy 4 block walk to the ocean. Restaurants and shopping are four blocks in the other direction.
