Lovely Beach House
This was a great place for our family of 4 to stay during a road trip. Lovely quiet location, right next to the coast. The cottage is well fitted out with everything we needed, it was clean and communication with the owner was simple and straightforward. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

A comfortable little house 2 blocks from the beach. It has everything you need! I was concerned that the back bedroom would be very cramped, but it’s larger than it looks in the photo.

Great location-
The house was small and no yard to speak of but was within walking distance to the beach for surfing and bike riding. House was well stocked but maybe needed some additional salad bowls and a pancake griddle. Bathroom well stocked , beach chairs and laundry were included. Compared to some of the other vacation rentals we have stayed, this one showed pride in ownership. THANK YOU for allowing us to have a comfortable and fun filled holiday with my family. Cheryl

Fabulous Beach House in Capitola
Our second time staying at this property. We love it: the location near Pleasure Point, walking distance to coffee shops (Cat’s Cloud is our favorite), restaurants and shops. The property is well stocked with kitchen items, and is super cute. Friendly neighborhood too. We will be back!

Cozy Well Maintained with Great Location
A well maintained and clean property that is ideally located to shops, restaurants and the East Cliff pathway within the Pleasure Point community. This house is situated in A safe, friendly and cozy neighborhood. During our stay, we were able to walk to many paces. Other attractions are a very short drive. We will definitely book this listing again as it was the perfect place to get away for a few days.

This cute cottage is located just a block off of Pleasure Point. The location cannot be beat. The house was clean and fully equipped. The only downside is the limited parking, with room for one medium sized vehicle. We will definitely be back!

Clean, well appointed, great cottage
This beach house had everything we needed + more. I brought my 12 yr old and my bestie brought her 13 yr old. It’s an easy walk to the beach, restaurants, stores & a quick drive to all (Capitola, Boardwalk, Whole Foods). The house was clean & super comfy with updated everything! Someone took the time to anticipate all the basic needs of their guests.. There were nice touches throughout and we felt safe & at home in this sweet cottage. I will rebook this property again.

Great time in Santa Cruz
The house was perfect for our group of 2 adults and 2 kids. The kitchen had everything you could need to prepare meals. The house was very clean and inviting. It would have been nice to have 2 more beach chairs.

Ideal Location
Cute little place in a prime location close to the beach. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had all that was needed, and the washer dryer was great to have. Only thing to know is this is a partially converted building, so it seemed the living room didn’t have much insulation. Luckily there’s a good heater. Only other complaint is some of the kitchenware (pots/pans) should really be updated. But overall great sty.

Beautiful, clean, friendly service. Perfect location!
Loved our stay! Beautiful cottage, extremely clean, with everything we needed. Perfect location. Only a 1/2 block walk to the coast where we were able to go for long walks every day along the coast down to Capitola and back. The Turnkey staff was very attentive and friendly, responding right away to questions and checking in periodically during our 1-month stay to make sure everything was going well. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

We had a great time at this little beach house!
Close to Pleasure Point and central to stores, restaurants etc. we were very comfortable here. Kitchen had everything we needed and bathroom had plenty of fluffy towels. The only thing we would suggest is some instructions for the TV. We could not find a guide to see what the channels were or how to find regular network channels. Since we weren’t there to watch TV, it’s a small thing, but still... They have offered me a Starbucks gift card for this review, but it wouldn’t affect my review. My 3 sisters and I will stay here again for sure!

Ideal Santa Cruz House
This place is great! My wife, daughter and I stay here for four days and loved it. I started my search for Santa Cruz beach homes and stumbled upon this gem. You can tell it's been recently remodeled and very clean. It's in a nice neighborhood and only a couple minute walk to the beach. A 6 minute walk to the local market / sandwich shop. Walk the opposite direction to coffee and donuts. I would totally stay here again.
