Stayed Jun 9, 2026Extremely clean, well stocked, and convenient! House/shed was equipped with everything we could’ve possibly needed and then some. Truly accommodated 6 of us, from enough dining supplies, bikes (sizes and quantity), and everything in between.

Stayed Jun 5, 2026This cabana was the perfect place to stay in Santa Cruz with a family with teens. Situated between the Boardwalk and Downtown, there are many walkable restaurants and stores.Bikes, boogie boards, surfboards, wetsuits, and cornhole provided as well as a hot tub great for star gazing and game room with a foosball table and an Atari console. Grill and tiki bar too. 6-burner stove and gas oven, Kitchenaid Smart Oven available for cooking in the kitchen. Would definitely stay again.

Stayed May 22, 2026This is great cozy little home to stay for a long weekend for a small family. The hosts are great! This home is not big guy-friendly. Sitting at the dinner table, I felt I was going to break the chair, the back room, and the bathroom had low ceilings, so being 6'3 tall, I had to make sure not to raise my arms. The amenities need some serious upgrades. The microwave has rust inside, the dryer had rust on top, and the barbecue bottom is completely rusted out, and the igniter did not work, so you have to manually, lighted. Beside that everything was great!

Stayed Apr 13, 2026This is the perfect spot for exploring Santa Cruz—whether you surf or just want to explore all the town has to offer you are ideally located in this sweet little cottage—little with a HUGE yard. We enjoyed the lovely hot tub. It’s pretty quiet, has parking which is key and has all the comforts of home. Loved it and would return in a heartbeat

Stayed Apr 8, 2026This is a cute and small cabana with an excellent location. The backyard is the best part, large with a cute game room and a shed full of many sporting items. Lots of bikes, surfing equipment, beach chairs and more. The cabana itself is a bit tired and could use a little TLC but all in all we enjoyed our stay.

Stayed Nov 28, 2025The house is small, ideal for 2-4 people. We were able to host family members (who stayed at a motel) for a Thanksgiving dinner by making it casual, and we enjoyed our time there very much. It is very well-appointed with bikes, surfboards, and beach toys as well as a foosball table and hot tub. The back yard is large and secure, great for our little doggie. The location is perfect; you can walk to the boardwalk area beach as well as downtown Santa Cruz. The house is over 125 years old and has been maintained, but it is still old (don’t expect perfection), yet charming. Overall, we and our family members did enjoy our time there very much. I do recommend bringing kitchen towels and hot pads as there weren’t any available. There were plenty of bath and beach towels.

Stayed Aug 30, 2025My family stayed here over a holiday weekend while attending a wedding. The property is conveniently located and loaded with anything you might need. I was unable to locate the iron (it was hiding under some blankets , but exactly where it was supposed to be). The property owned ran an iron right over to us! Thank you!! My only negative was that we could have used another mirror in the house for getting ready for our event, but it worked out just fine. I would love to stay at this property again while visiting Santa Cruz.

Stayed Nov 23, 2024Great location to have fun in Santa Cruz, walking distance to both downtown and the Boardwalk. The place is well-appointed, with comfy beds and a great backyard with fun activities. Could be a little cleaner around the edges and there are some quirks of it being an old beach cottage, e.g. no bathroom fan and the bathroom water doesn't get super hot. Owner was responsive. Overall would stay again.

While we just relax, especially in the yard, it’s easy to see how this listing would appeal to a family with children. Close to the boardwalk, beach and restaurants so there is plenty to do. But don’t overlook the fun games and hottub right on the property.
