Do yourself a favor and stay here. If you are looking for a secluded place steps from the beach, shops, and restaurants, stay here. If you want a host who truly cares about your trip, a space that can accommodate both small and large groups, and an environment that is quiet and extremely clean, this is the place for you. Additionally, all of the beds were very comfortable. Btw the property is more comfortable and relaxing than it appears in the listing as well as the view form the rooftop. I could not recommend this stay strongly enough.
Our whole family enjoyed 3 fabulous days celebrating our early Thanksgiving. Second time renting this property and my whole family wants me to buy the place, that’s how much 5hey enjoyed their time together.Looking yo do it again next year. Alex was tremendous with and for us.
From start to finish, the booking, check-in, and check-out process was simple and easy. The property was amazing and perfectly suited for a group of long-term friends to spend time together to celebrate their good friends getting married.
Amazing place, 3 floors of spacious villa, plenty of bathrooms, bathtubs, showers, bedrooms. Tons of balcony space. Really close to the beach. This was an amazing experience.
Our family of 11 people celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. The house was very comfortable and well appointed. It was nice for each couple to have their own bedrooms and bathrooms. We had a blast.
plenty of space so comfortable for work retreats and projects. The house was super well stocked and so comfortable to cook in and hang out at the end of a long work day. We got a little playing in as well. Would recommend to anyone coming to work or play in Santa Cruz.
I booked this vrbo for a company retreat. host was very communicative and answered my many questions. The house was very clean and is full of amenities. Very comfortable stay
An amazing property! Beautiful setting, beautiful and comfortable furniture and beds. Perfect Santa Cruz location! Property owner and managers very accomodating and answered any questions promptly. We will definitely be back!
This was our second time staying at this wonderful house! It's so close to everything and we absolutely love the rooftop. We love it here and are so grateful it can accommodate our large family. Hope to do it again in two years.
This property was perfect for our family of 9 adults and 6 young children. We especially loved the proximity to the beach, pier and boardwalk. Derek, Sarah and Alex were extremely responsive to our questions. Can't wait to go back.
We loved this VRBO. Plenty of room for all of us to spread out, loved the roof top for cocktail hour and so much to do in the area! The owners are very responsive and easy to contact. Definitely would recommend.
Fifteen of us shared the house and it was great. Everyone had a bed, the location was perfect and the house layout was very comfortable. We will keep it in mind for our next gathering!
This home was perfect for a family gathering. Clean, beautiful, and plenty of room. It was close to the wharf, boardwalk, and beach. The host was very responsive and helpful.
We had a large retreat and really enjoyed both the communal spaces, like the balconies and decks, and the apartments being in the same building. It made our over trip logistics much simpler and the walkable location made it easy for the group to have different activities to participate in nearby. Thank you for your communication and hospitality!
The house is massive! Plenty of space for everyone in our group. The location can't be beat. Quick walk to the beach, pier and boardwalk. Lots of places to eat nearby and a newly opened boba shop next door! The kitchens are well stocked with everything you need.
Generous living space, generous dining areas, very well equipped kitchens. Restful bedrooms and bathrooms.Only suggestion would be to make the pantry cupboards available for food items, instead of kitchenware. The upper cupboard to the right of the stove is not that accessible.
This was a beautiful property located one block of the beach! We had my moms 80th birthday with 20 families members ranging in age from 1-82. Centrally located to the beach, boardwalk, pier and restaurants. It was very easy to communicate with the property manager and owner. Thank you for a wonderful stay!!
What a perfect time we had at this beautiful property - 17 in all enjoyed Santa Cruz Villas! So much so we all plan to return. All of the rooms were spacious, clean to perfection, and the kitchen was stocked so well. The access to the wharf, beach and boardwalk was perfect - easy walking distance. We are exited to return and enjoy this beautiful property again..
When you go on vacation you just want to enjoy your destination. This property had everything you might need in the kitchens and bathrooms. It was so we'll stocked with any amenities you might need. The rooms were clean and very comfortable.
Our instructions were very thorough and the property management was accessible and helpful when we needed them.
We had a wonderful time and this property and the crazy good location made it the best.

Why they chose this property
We designed this property and built it from the ground up in our favorite spot in Santa Cruz. Construction completed in October 2014. We used the finest building materials, and borrowed ideas on amenities from resorts we have visited around the world. There really isn't a better location to experience all the fun of Santa Cruz. The location puts in you a spot where you never have to get in your car to enjoy all that Santa Cruz has to offer. You could stay a month and not hit every restaurant in walking distance.
What makes this property unique
From the moment you drive up, you'll notice the arched toped hand hewn wooden doors, and when you step into your unit, you will find old world hand chiseled travertine stone floors through out. Enjoy your favorite drink from the bar in the kitchen, while watching the waves break on Cowells Beach. Dozen of restaurants are just outside your door, or if you like to cook, the Viking Range is professional quality. If you are travelling with Friends, you'll enjoy having two master suites, each with a kind size bed. We designed this property for our own enjoyment, and we hope you love it as much as we do!
