Lovely studio close to the Boardwalk

We booked this studio to run Wharf to Wharf. What a lovely place to stay. It was accurately pictured and described on vrbo. They had everything we needed for our stay. The hosts were so communicative and friendly. The check in and check out process was easy. They provide a wonderful binder with information and a parking permit which was helpful since Santa Cruz was crowded. The beach decor in the studio was cute. The bed was comfy and the bathroom had plenty of room. You are close to downtown and can walk to the Boardwalk. Overall this was a wonderful place to stay. I highly recommend it for anyone going to Santa Cruz. The price was right and the home clean, quiet, and cozy.

Great studio, I will be staying again soon!

I did a last minute one night trip to the beach and this studio was perfect for me. The unit is well equipped, very clean and well maintained. The front porch has a small table and 2 chairs, and there is a comfy chair in the foyer/entryway which are both very welcoming as you arrive to the property. Inside the owner supplied coffee, tea, hot cocoa and a few placesettings of dishes and utensils for use with takeout. Since the unit is walking distance to New Leaf market, TraderJoes and many restaurants, the microwave and fridge are a nice feature. I grabbed a beach chair that was provided and walked to the Santa Cruz pier and boardwalk (10 minute walk). The bed was very comfy, and the futon couch was perfect for watching Netflix after dinner. Highly recommend Firefly for bagels and coffee - just a 2 minute walk away. The neighborhood has a lot of new development so construction and traffic can cause minor inconvenience. The owners were very responsive on vrbo messaging as well as text. I will be a return visitor and hope to rent the adjoining 2 bedroom unit when I return with my family.
