    This was a great place for our group. Three levels each with its own bathroom. All with TVs. There is a patio up front and in front of the unit which ch we used. We BbQ twice. The big plus is location. It’s a short walk to the beach which allowed dogs. The house was also good for dogs due to fence and access to dirt in front and side of unit. Couch was comfy and kitchen has all the utensils you might want. We had some trouble figuring out our stove and microwave but eventually figured it out. We really enjoyed our stay!

    What a wonderful place to stay while visiting Santa Cruz. House has everything you need…fully stocked kitchen, BBQ, boogie boards and chairs for the beach…and just a block from the water. We spent plenty of time on the front deck enjoying the view. Hosts were welcoming and easy to contact if needed. We’ll be back soon!

    Can't beat the location! We went to Twin Lakes beach over and over because we could see it from the house, just a short walk down the street. Plenty of space for our family of 7, and everything we needed in the house. The host was great to answer all our questions ahead of our trip. Even with some rain, wind, and cloudy days, we had a really great time! Would definitely stay here again!

    Staying at this perfectly situated and appointed, and lovingly cared for home, is simply a slice of heaven. This was our third stay and has now become an absolute family favorite. It offers an easily accessible respite from the hectic pace of silicon valley, with only a short drive in order to enjoy. The home is carefully supplied with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the location cannot be beat. The hosts are easy to communicate with and amenable to your needs. Can't say enough about this special place, and can't wait to return!

    Location, location, location! We have been staying at the beach cottage for 8 years. If I had to pick my favorite feature of the house it would be the front deck where you can sit, read a book, have a glass of wine, talk to the people walking by and watch the beach—it’s where we venture to first thing in the morning, coffee in hand. Second, would be the living room with large comfy sofa and table for playing games. Our grandkids love their space downstairs which is a win win for all of us (no toys on the main level!). The kitchen is well equipped and the cottage is within walking distance of several great restaurants and Deke’s store. The only downside of our trip this year was the closure of the Murray Street bridge—getting to our east side favorites requires patience! Hopefully next year we will be able to walk across the bridge again to the lighthouse and Seabright beach.

    We really enjoyed our visit. The bedrooms and amenities were all as described and we were able to sleep comfortably. We did find instances of things not being thoroughly cleaned. For example, when we lifted couch cushons off the couch, there were crumbs underneath, the kitchen table was a little sticky, and the floor in the downstairs bathroom was also a little sticky. Still, overall our trip was quite enjoyable. Thank you!

    This house is ideally located near a beach in Santa Cruz. We enjoyed watching the waves role in from the upstairs bedroom. Seeing the lights across the bay in Monterey at night was awesome. The hosts were very kind and very responsive to our questions. We've stayed in other houses in Santa Cruz, and this is by far the best.

    We felt right at home the moment we went inside. The floor plan is perfect for our family, with a nice bedroom and bathroom on every floor so everyone has some privacy and can enjoy their own version of vacation time. The home is perfectly decorated in our idea of a beach home, and the views of the water are wonderful! We had everything we needed to celebrate Thanksgiving and even cooked everything here! The location is perfect for what we like to do and is within walking distance of the beach, restaurants, and all sorts of fun destinations. It's quiet and we felt safe here. The owners are exceptionally warm and wonderful! They communicated with us perfectly and the made us feel very comfortable in easily accessing the property. This is now one of our very favorite vacations spots and we look forward to coming back often to continue making happy memories!

    This house is clean, kept up, and well stocked. You can walk to the beach and hear the waves from the property. Bedrooms are on separate floors affording nice privacy. There are restaurants and a coffee shop within walking distance. The neighborhood is busy during the day being so close to the beach but is very quiet through the night. Excellent place to stay - we'll be back.
