Great vacation getaway
The rental is amazing. All the great amenities in rental and then some. Great ocean view. Centrally located so you are just a couple of miles from Capitola and Santa Cruz. Sea Cliff beach is beautiful. The communication with the owner was great. He made everything so easy and welcoming. We will definitely be returning for another vacation stay.

This place was very clean and comfortable. Great location, within walking distance of a beach, and a quick drive to other fun spots. The owner was very friendly and good with communication. The house is well stocked. The swim spa was really nice!
