The house was very nice and as advertised. Beautiful views of the sunset behind the harbor! The beds were actually very comfortable which is sometimes iffy. We like to get down to the boardwalk and the pier and this location was so close, no having to get on the freeway with all the traffic which was so convenient. We would definitely stay again.
The house had a really nice feel to it with lots of light, ocean views and several places for our family to gather. My husband and I slept in the master and the bed was very comfortable. We were happy we could bring our dog. She had a great time too.
Great location, easy check-in and out. Family-friendly, easy. The upstairs bathroom toilet kept running and we were worried about that. My husband was dying to fix it!
This home is bright, comfortable, and walking to so much! O'Neal Properties messaged to ensure we were all set. Even in the rain, we had a fabulous stay!
Our stay at the O'Neal harbor home was delightful. The house is wonderful and the location can't be beat. The rooftop deck has a spectacular view of the water. We had a most enjoyable stay.
The listing was as advertised, so close to the beach that I took the dog for a walk there every morning. The kitchen was decently stocked with ware and utinsils so that we made dinner almost every night in the kitchen or on the rooftop BBQ.
The negatives are minor, but listed here simply because everyone looking at reviews wants to know what to expect:
-electric kettle didn’t work, and management never replaced it while we were there, although they were extremely responsive every time I messaged them (they probably replaced it after we left).
-bed frame in master suite was extremely noisy, creaking every time we moved at night.
Hope you enjoy Santa Cruz as much as we did!
