Location, Location, Location! Within walking distance of all the good stuff….Boardwalk, Wharf, Downtown and across the street from the ocean which was great for morning walks. Our contact Christina immediately responded to all my questions before & during our stay. The place has lots of space and rooms but with that comes lots of stairs. The pool & jacuzzi were a big hit with my family.

Very nice home in a great location. It was clean and well stocked. Host was very responsive helping us with the keyless entry after hours (purely due to user error on our part). Wouldn’t recommend for precocious toddlers, but other than that it was perfect.

The property was an excellent walking location to the wharf, beach and boardwalk. My kids loved the top level room for sleeping and playing but the unit has so many stairs—plan accordingly. It’s a bit dingy and clearly has been a rental for a while. Please provide more towels or get some beach towels. Overall it’s family friendly and felt safe.

House was great and convenient location. Lots of stairs - four flights. The dining table is glass and our son ended up busting his lip on it and going to the ER for stitches. Everything else was good.

Santa Cruz Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location was perfect, with easy access to the beach, boardwalk, etc. a wonderful choice for a multi-generation group.We were frustrated with the tv situation. On the main tv, we could only watch the World Cup in Spanish. The dishes could be replaced. Many were chipped and cracked.

Santa Cruz winter week

Location is excellent for going on walks along West Cliff Drive or down to the wharf. Spacious garage for 2 cars, very versatile top floor rumpus room. Comfortable and clean, traffic noise is noticeable but it dies down during sleeping hours.

Great for Teens

We brought a group of teenagers for the weekend and this house was perfect for that! The top floor allowed for them to giggle and stay up late, while letting us parents sleep. The condo is great proximity to the beach and boardwalk alike, and the garage was nice to not have to deal with street parking. The fees are more than the nightly rate, and the requirements of stripping the beds and emptying the trash made it feel like work vs vacation, also, the check out is pretty early compared to other properties we’ve stayed.
