This was such a wonderful place to stay. The fact that we did not move our car the whole seven days says it all. Great restaurants and the ocean all within walking distance. The home was well equipped with all we needed. Hopefully we can stay here again.

Tho home is in the perfect location to enjoy the coastal towns of Capitola, Pleasant Point, and Santa Cruz! The home was full of amenities with clear directions and had ample space for our adult family of five!We loved walking down Opal Cliff Drive to Capitola. The house is about five houses down for a beach access point which point which was really cool to explore! We definitely appreciated the owner's attention to detail and we would without a doubt stay there again, as well as recommend this house to others!

Was amazing. Beautiful home. Gorgeous back yard to sit and relax. Very quiet, well every once in a while seagulls sang to us and we loved it. The host was so helpful and attentive. Has laundry supplies and didnt have to buy toilet paper or paper towels. Had plenty of garage bags for the whole stay. Even had q-tips and face pads. We had an amazing time and would absolutely be staying there again. Don't hesitate! Book it!
