    This rental is really close to the beach, a deli, a coffee shop and market. The rental was comfortable and had everything we needed. They also allowed pets which is a must for us. Great stay.

    The home fit our needs perfectly. We spent our days at the beach, hiking in the State Park, and our evenings at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and visiting friends. The house was well outfitted, including the kitchen. We look forward to visiting again in the future.

    The location of this home is right behind the main street and beach. Easy walking to restaurants, the ocean, and walking paths. The home is comfortable, but with a little more TLC I believe this could be an adorable and more comfortable place to stay. (Nicer sheets and pillows, bedding decore, and more comfortable seating in the living area). We had an issue with getting into the residence, however, the owner worked with us to get access and offered to have it fixed. There were a couple minor issues we had to deal with that will hopefully be taken care of for future stays.

    Wonderful location that is walkable to a dog friendly beach. Place had everything we needed. One day there was a trail of ants that came in the house in the setting if a rainy day. Otherwise, no problems and thoughtful host with great communication. Would stay again.

    My son and I stay here every time we come to the beach for vacation. The house is clean, comfortable and well stocked with everything you need. The location is perfect. Just steps from Rio del Mar beach, and a quick walk to Sea Cliff State Beach. A quick drive to Santa Cruz too. All the restaurants nearby are wonderful. Pixie Deli has great breakfast and lunch and Venus Pie Trap has the best croissants! I would highly recommend staying here.
