Fantastic house near beach
One of the tidiest and most pleasant houses we've ever rented. The only downside is that 3 of the rooms on the second floor share one tiny bathroom. Other than that it was just wonderful. Beautiful outdoor spaces, everything functional, very well stocked and tastefully decorated. The welcome cookies were delicious

Great Place We All Loved it!
Perfect house for all 7 of us, my wife and I, our 2 grown kids, daughter in-law and 2 grand kids. We had space to relax, hide out or play some games. The beach is a super short walk, close enough to hear the surf at night. We did all our meals in the kitchen, it has all the right stuff to prep and serve meals.

Fabulous stay in Santa Cruz!
This home is amazing. A perfect spot for our family gathering. Main bedroom on the ground floor, for those who don’t do well with stairs. 3 bedrooms upstairs with tons of closet space. Separate apartment downstairs with full bath & kitchen. There’s a loft where our teenagers hung out. This home is outfitted with everything you need to cook meals & enjoy visiting with friends/family. A quick stroll will get you to the beach. Owner was very communicative & accommodating. Great place to stay.

Magical and Memorable Experience
Thank you again Josh for your hospitality. We spent 5 memorable days at your Santa Cruz home. The amenities were excellent including towels, beds, and beach equipment. Every morning and evening walks to the beach we'll miss the most. BBQ and kitchen are top notch as we had all our meals there. Definitely a 10-star experience and we hope to return some day. Cordial neighbors too.

Perfect Santa Cruz location
House was very clean, on a quiet neighborhood street, and our entire family (age range from 4 to 74) all enjoyed the home & slept well in the very comfortable beds.

Great location near Twin Lakes State Beach. House updated well. A bit far from wharf and boardwalk and parking for guests a bit tricky on the small streets.

Amazing beach house
The home is beautiful and well appointed. This is our second year staying at the property. We had an amazing visit with friends. We cooked every night in the large kitchen and enjoyed eating out on the deck. It is a very short walk to the beach and the home had beach chairs and sand toys which the kids loved. The beds are all comfortable and everything was very clean. We look forward to another visit next year!

Great Multi Family Home
From the moment we drove up and opened the door it was fantastic! The home is by far the Best we’ve stayed at for 25+ years. An extra touch of fresh cookies on counter welcomed us. The home is clean, furnished nicely and stocked well. Josh, owner easy to work with and on his own reached out to inquire if we’d like a late check out. We also were able to check in early. Definitely would stay here again next year.

Amazing property for our large group!
We stayed here for a long weekend with our group of 7 adults and 1 infant. We absolutely loved this property, and it was the perfect place for our large group. We would love to come back again in a heartbeat! The three levels of the property worked out great, since our group included multiple families from all across the U.S. Having separation with the three levels for sleeping and also communal places to gather, like the game room and living room, worked out great for our group. Everyone had plenty of space, privacy, and separation, but also enough room for everyone to come together when desired. The backyard was wonderful and enjoyable, with beautiful landscaping and gardens, multiple levels, and various seating areas. We had dogs with us, and they loved exploring the backyard, too. The kitchen was well-stocked and spacious. The beds were all very, very comfortable. The house stayed cool enough for us, and we did not even need to use any of the fans we brought with us. The location was fantastic. Close to downtown Santa Cruz and to Capitola, and to all the other destinations we had on our list. The neighborhood was quiet and felt very safe. Josh was very helpful during our stay and before our stay as well. His responses were quick and helpful, and he made sure our stay was excellent! I truly can't say enough good things about this property. By far the best vacation rental we have stayed in!

Great proximity to the beach.
A 5 min walk to a great beach and some great restaurants. House is clean and spacious with some great landscaping. Different living spaces made it easy for our family with young kids. * they do have a pack and play, beach chairs and some limited sand toys. Overall, a great stay.

Beautiful house - 5 minute walk to beach
Our extended family of 9 rented this house for 4 nights. We couldn’t have been happier. The house is beautiful. Plenty of space. Beds are super comfy. We did a lot of cooking - the kitchen has everything you need. Best part - 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach. We’d walk down with our coffees in the morning and watch the surfers. Radiant heat floors in the master bathroom were a nice touch. Owner was super accessible. Zero complaints. Would definitely return.

House is as pictured and a great location within walking distance to food and coffee. Loved being able to walk to the ocean. The top floor gets a little warm during the day but we opened windows to help. Great communication from the team and cookies and fresh flowers were a nice touch within the home!

We absolutely loved our stay in Santa Cruz! There were 10 adults and a couple of kids, and we all agreed that we wanted to come back next year! The mixture of individual space combined with comfortable gathering spots was perfect. Great deck, lovely fenced back yard, Great kitchen, short walk to the beach. Good communication with the owners and property manager. Really, it was the perfect vacation spot.

Beautiful and spacious beach house!
We loved everything about this home. The location was excellent with just a short walk to the beach. The home was large with plenty of sleeping options on different levels. The decor was gorgeous and inviting, and the deck was great for hanging out in the evening with a glass of wine. High end kitchen was very well stocked. The special touches of fresh hydrangeas and chocolate chip cookies were thoughtful and appreciated. We were lucky to find this on short notice and very pleased with the rental. Excellent communication with owner and property manager. Overall outstanding experience!
