Great place in an unbeatable location! We chose it because it was so close to the dog beach, and that made our trip incredibly easy and enjoyable. We brought our senior dog back to the beach she grew up on, so staying here made the trip even more special. The home was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped, and the hosts were wonderful with communication and made everything easy. We had no complaints at all and would absolutely stay here again.

We will definitely stay here again! We were in Santa Cruz for a surf event at Steamer Lane- the location was great, it was a short easy walk to Steamer Lane and the coffee shop nearby. Also close to downtown Santa Cruz. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a long weekend.

Daughters, dog and Mom escaped to the coast for a last hurrah to summer! This cozy duplex was a dream of a rental. A small unit attached to a larger lovely house but completely separate with an entrance around the corner from the other driveway, it felt private and was beautiful. The best part is the location - a choice of walking paths right across the street that all meander to the cliffs overlooking the ocean and by the lighthouse. Lots of surfers in the area that are really fun to watch. Best of all, they led to the nearby dog-friendly beach! Our Penny girl would try to lead us straight there every time we left the house, lol! The area felt private and remote, but was a short hop over to the Beach Boardwalk and downtown. Truly a great vacation spot!
