Fabulous property in a great location
The property was lovely. It was spacious and well equipped. The beds were really comfortable and the bedding was really good quality. There were plenty of towels including beach towels. We loved the garden and the bbq. The kitchen was small but perfectly formed with ample crockery, cutlery and glasses.
The location was superb, it was yards from the beach and about 10 mins walk to the board walk with its lovely restaurants and bars. In the other direction there was a path along the cliffs were there were beaches and views of the ocean.
Communication with Rob was timely. Check in was easy and there was a folder with useful info about the area and its amenities. Parking was good.
Rob went over and above as a host when he offered us the house free of charge for a night due to circumstances beyond our control. The gesture was appreciated but fortunately we did not need to take him up on his generous offer.
I would definately stay at this property again

Another Fantastic Stay
This was the 3rd time we’d stayed here. The house is as fabulous as ever. Further improved since our last stay with a private outdoor seating and lounging area.
Perfect location in Santa Cruz. Set in a private and quiet location but very close to the pier and walk/cycle/running path the lines the beautiful coastline.
Alan was the perfect host and made sure we were looked after throughout.
Already looking forward to returning again.
