Everything was clean and updated for a refreshing and homey place to stay. Heater on back porch was great. Only problem we had was plugs in downstairs bath didn't work. We tried resetting breaker and they still didn't work.
Beds were comfortable and shower was nice and clean!
The house was just okay. However, I don’t recommend people with kids stay there. My 11 year old accidentally got lip gloss on their towels and we were charged 25 for it. They only have stark white towels so I recommend you bring your own towels in case it gets dirty. There’s a driveway to the neighbors house right in front of the kitchen and I got startled to see a person standing in front of the kitchen windows on the first morning. But it was a quiet neighborhood. The house was mostly clean except for upstairs, there was thick black mold in the corners of the windows.
The house was really roomy and clean. It is in a nice quiet neighborhood. Everything in Santa Cruz was just a short drive away and many places are walkable. The best part was Mariannes ice cream was only .2 miles away.
It was a hit with grandparents, parents and a 2 year old who was mesmerized with the ceiling fan. Close to sights but nestled in a lovely neighborhood.
We were doing a construction project in town and this property was amazing. It was close to our job site so we could sleep in a bit in the morning. The BBQ was a nice team building for dinners. Good neighborhood and close to everything Santa Cruz.
Such a cute property , extremely clean and well appointed. My Mom didn’t want to leave and I can’t say I blamed her. The kitchen is particularly beautiful.
We hope to stay here again next time we are in town to visit my daughter who is a ucsc student.
Also, the hosts were lovely and communication was perfect.
We visited with family for a cousins wedding. The house is very clean and well equipped. The stairs (as advertised) leading to the 2 upper bedrooms are a bit tricky for my elderly mother so she and an aunt stayed in the downstairs twin room. Lovely spot in family neighborhood. Would stay again.
Very clean and welcoming. They thought of everything. More than adequate supplies (towels, dish soap and the like) good location within walking distance for coffee and snacks. Would stay again.
Clean and comfortable 3 bedroom one and a half bath property. Well maintained. Close to downtown and the beach. The walk to the beach and boardwalk may be a bit far but priced accordingly. Overall nice stay!
The house is amazing! We loved the style; it felt very cozy, homey, and comfortable.
We enjoyed sitting in the backyard with your cat's visits and some squirrels. Just a short drive to Trader Joe's or the beach. We would love to come back!
The place was more spacious than I thought. The location was better than I anticipated. Pleasantly pleased. The stairs as stated in other post a little challenging but with the awareness provided shouldn’t be a problem. The bed a little hard for those in the front bedroom upstairs
The house was clean, close to downtown and great for our purpose.
