Rented this property for a group of four friends to visit Santa Cruz. The house is large and in very good condition. We had plenty of space to be together or to hang out separately. The house had all the amenities that we needed. The host was very communicative with check-in and check-out information, as well as with things to do. Highlights were the short walk to the beach/harbor, as well as the hot tub.

We had a large group of family in town for an event. This space was perfect and comfortable for our group! We liked the large kitchen and living room areas for group hangouts. We walked to Harbor Cafe and Twin Lakes Beach as well. There are a lot of signs in the property so you don’t have to search for Wi-Fi or check out information. Check out was super simple (no long cleaning lists!). Communication with the property manager was easy. We’ll definitely stay here again next time we have a group in town.

We were here for our daughter's graduation from UCSC and the house was perfect to house family and host gatherings. Great layout for a quiet celebration! Christine was super responsive and helpful when we had questions. The house sits on a very quiet cul-de-sac and we loved hearing the birds from the park in back. Everything was clean, well-stocked and comfortable! Loved having two different living room areas for different activities. We would definitely return!

The home is very beautiful and is in a great location on a quiet cul-de-sac; it is close to everything in Santa Cruz. The home is very spacious, comfortable and well equipped; it was great for the six of us. The check-in process was easy and there were no issues. Christine was great to work with and prompt in her follow up. My family and I were in Santa Cruz for our son's graduation from UCSC - availability that weekend in Santa Cruz was limited and, as much as we loved this home, the price was a bit excessive. Aside from this, the home is great.

About the host
Hosted by Christine Falsetti
We enjoy hosting groups of friends, families, and couples at our home. Please let us know about your interests when you make a reservation so we can give you the best service possible.
Many of our guests are multigenerational families, while others are groups of friends wanting to reconnect, or couples searching for a romantic getaway by the ocean. We've met so many wonderful people and are glad to share this special home with you. We look forward to hosting your stay at our beach retreat villa in Santa Cruz!
Why they chose this property
We prefer Santa Cruz's east side because it has great people-friendly beaches, a coastal sidewalk, and stunning views of Monterrey Bay. We particularly enjoy being able to walk to Twin Lakes Beach, Santa Cruz Harbor, and fantastic eateries and cafés like the Crow's Nest, Lago di Como, Harbor Beach Café, and more. We like how close we were to Capitola, the Boardwalk, and downtown Santa Cruz. We appreciate the seaside sounds, soft breezes, coffee shops, and free concerts on Saturday mornings at Twin Lakes, especially in the winter. With little to no morning fog and sunny skies in the morning, fall is a local secret favorite time of year.
What makes this property unique
The setting is priceless. We walk in and feel immediately transported to our very own luxury retreat overlooking lush, ocean landscape, deck, and hot tub. We also enjoy strolling along the paved ocean walkway, around the Harbor, and to the Lighthouse to watch the surfers, and beyond to enjoy the Santa Cruz Bay and Beach Boardwalk. This beach house is centrally located and is great for people of all ages. Every possible amenity & activity is nearby, but we often find ourselves spending the whole day at the house enjoying its tranquility, and natural beauty.
