The great things about this property are: just steps from the beach, plenty of bedrooms, so different parts of the family can sleep in different areas, well equipped kitchen, and so so many toys, games, and dvds. It was a perfect place for a family reunion with little kids.

Beautiful home across the street from the beach. Spacious accommodations for our multigenerational family of 14. Each family was responsible for cooking a meal so it was a vacation for everyone!Nice that it is so close to the beach so you can go back and forth to the home. Our family enjoyed walking the long stretch of beach in both directions and games at night. Half of the family enjoyed using the Boogie boards and catching the surf! We had amazing weather!Stacey, the owner was very responsive with answers to questions we had.

Great multi-generation family beach vacation spot

We loved our week here as a family (18month old, 3,9,11yr kids) The house was clean, organized, and fully equipped for family beach living. The proximity to the beach was perfect for our daily walks, sand castle building, sea shell finding, and sea otter watching. The kids also loved riding scooters along the path in the neighborhood. Groceries and take-out/delivery was easy and close for pick ups in Watsonville & Capitola. We loved filling the week with memories, especially with the grandparents and grandkids.

Fantastic for family time

Stacy has a wonderful home stocked with everything (even extra jackets for those “I don’t need a jacket”, kids). There are really three distinct areas for sleeping as well as a huge tables and area to gather. The beach is just over the hill! It isn’t inexpensive but it is worth more than money to have your whole family enjoying time together and alone. All of us from eight months to seventy two years had a great time thanks to all the forethought .

Girlfriend Getaway

We had a wonderful time at this house which was right across the street from the beach. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook fabulous meals. The extra refrigerator in the garage was used for all our extra beverages. We had enough bedrooms and beds for everyone to spread out comfortably. The kitchen/dining/living room is so open it's a great gathering place for everyone. This is a great place to stay for a large group. I would definitely stay her again.
