Our family beach place is a unique style duplex, (2 separate units), one is accessed at street level and the other is above. The 3 BR 1 BA is our upstairs unit. It has a porch area where you can sit out and have a morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. There is a filtered view of the Boardwalk Log Ride, wharf and bay. The kitchen has recently been remodeled with new appliances and a dishwasher. It opens up to the living room and dining area. The living room is light and bright. The bedrooms and the bathroom are down the hall, separating the living and dining area nicely. Bedroom #1 has a queen size bed and smart tv, bedroom #2 also has a queen, bedroom #3 has a bunkbed, single bed, and a roll away twin bed. There is a private patio area with gas grill, fire pit and colorful market lights. If you bring bikes they can be stored here as the gate has a lock. If the downstairs guests have bikes, they can store there as well. The patio is for your use but with potential sharing if items need to be secured.
IMPORTANT; One of our most important house rules is about being mindful of noise. There is often a guest staying in the one-bedroom apartment below, so we kindly ask that you keep things quiet — especially after 10:00 PM. This means being mindful of loud talking, shouting, running, or jumping.
Normal footsteps can be heard downstairs, so when things get extra loud it can make for an unpleasant experience for our downstairs guests. We appreciate you helping us keep the space comfortable for everyone by being thoughtful and respectful.

    The attention to detail in this condo is everything to us. Anything and everything that you would need when at home, you have here. FROM all the extra snacks that they put out and the coffee pods and anything you need in the bathroom whether it be shampoo or conditioner or body wash the bedding was clean. Kitchen has everything from a blender, toaster, pots, and pans, dishes, and cups and silverware and utensils for cooking.The home was clean the comfort of the balcony/porch. The only thing we’re bummed that we didn’t get to enjoy. Was the fire pit and seating and grill but hope to be back again sometime where we have more time to actually enjoy the property more…. Everyone slept very comfortably and would recommend to anyone.

    We enjoyed our stay in Santa Cruz. This place is in a great location, within walking distance to the beach and the boardwalk. The home was very comfortable for us and our 3 teens - with plenty of space to spread out. Be aware the streets are very narrow in this area, there is adequate room for parking with a little skill - granted we did have a minivan which can be challenging to park in small spaces. We enjoyed using the side patio and grill for a family meal together. Overall great location, great place!

    We are so happy with this rental. We walked 5 min to the Boardwalk, you can actually hear it from the property. It’s a cute little neighborhood, felt pretty safe. Kitchen had everything we needed. Unit was clean and tidy, the housekeeper left an envelope for a tip, we were happy to let her know that she was doing great. Here’s a few little things that I want to make sure you know, mostly in description, but not super clear-Second floor property, laundry is on first floor and locked, parking is tight. There’s a covered spot, which is great, but if you have an SUV, it’s tight. You’re able to walk to dining if you’re into that, but walking at night may be too dark because the area is older and not well lit. Communication was excellent!! We will stay here again.

    If you’re looking for a clean, nicely appointed and decorated 3 bedroom rental super close to the boardwalk for your vacation, look no further. This place is a gem! The owners have furnished and decorated this rental with love and care. The decor is beachy, yet classy giving the place a light airy feel. It has a nicely equipped kitchen that has everything we needed. We did not cook while we were there (mama needs a vacation, too, right?), but we could have cooked anything we desired and not needed a thing except the ingredients. The options for Uber Eats are plentiful and they all arrived quickly.! The living room furniture was comfortable and there was plenty of space for the four of us to lounge after all the fun times. The boardwalk is walking distance, and there’s a lovely bridge that takes you right to it. My two boys—11 and 13—also really appreciated the snacks that were left for us. So thoughtful! We have already started talking about when we’ll be back. Thanks for a fantastic space to spend our vacation.

    Our stay was absolutely amazing! Location was perfect, quiet yet still walkable to the boardwalk, downtown, and cute neighborhood walks. The kitchen was well equipped-my family and I are big cooks and we were able to enjoy many home cooked meals. The rooms were comfortable and the bathroom was big enough to accommodate 5 adults easily. Thank you so much for hosting my family!
