Beautiful View...and a short walk to Boardwalk!

Great location especially if you want to visit the boardwalk. An actual 10 minute walk to get to the keddie section of Santa Cruz Boardwalk.

This was our 2nd time staying there. We love the location, you can walked everywhere. Dinner, beach and coffee shops as well.

Great property for a family retreat. Close to all of the action and walk able to all attractions in Santa Cruz. I highly recommend and plan to return again.

Great communication with his and location couldn't get closer to the boardwalk! Awesome experience!!

The house was clean and roomy. The location was fantastic!

Easy short walk to the Boardwalk. Kitchen and refrigerator very clean. Close to lots of things to do, stores and downtown.

We have a stress free stay every time.

All good! Beautiful house and setting. Very convenient!

Everything was perfect! Very clean, totally equipped with more than you can imagine, proximity to boardwalk was 5 minute walk! The house is just as the pictures portray! Would definitely stay here again!! The host was very communicative! We had a great 4 day stay!!

Property had everything needed for my family! Kitchen had everything needed and the BBQ was an added bonus. Everything you could need for the beach was avaliable. Perfect vacation rental for family.

We liked that he place had bikes to ride and the downstairs space was so large. 2 of the 3 bathrooms had tubs and that’s always a plus for us!We didn’t cook so we can’t speak to that, but the kitchen had plenty of plates, glasses and cork screw!The walk to the beach was easy and short!

The view was fantastic. The home worked GREAT for the 6 of us, and even when we entertained an additional 6 people, there was plenty of room for everyone.

Lauren communicates well and is quite responsive. We very much enjoyed out stay in her house.

Great house and layout for our family over Thanksgiving. We appreciated the beautiful view and walking distance to the boardwalk and playground nearby.

We had everything we needed. Stunning view and good time with family on outside deck. We Loved our stay.

Location to the Beach Boardwalk can not be beat! We celebrated my son’s 18th birthday and let him invite friends. The four boys took over the downstairs living area while my husband, daughter and I stayed upstairs. We were blessed with beautiful weather and roasted S’mores on the fire pit in the back. Highly recommend this place for families going to the Boardwalk! Spacious, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

The location is wonderful. Very close to beach and boardwalk and in a clean, safe neighborhood with stunning views from the expansive, well furnished balcony. It is not fancy inside but extremely clean and comfortable with two living rooms and a table for 10. Lauren texted the day before to make sure we had access information and was very helpful and friendly.

Great location, easy accessibility to the freeway, in and out of the area.The house was everything that was advertised. The patio was a great place to relax after our daily excursions and the beds were very comfy. We were very pleased.

We had a wonderful stay! The indoor and outdoor dining area and balcony patio with the viewer spectacular! The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, with plenty of bedding. Great washer and dryer! Having two water heaters was awesome. Having full size laundry was very handy since we were in town for a race. Our host has a nice closet set up with laundry detergent batteries extra cleaning supplies shampoo conditioner etc. Plenty of hand soap. Much appreciated.A couple of quirky things that might need some attention would be a coffee maker that spit grounds into our coffee and the kitchen is a bit disorganized. Also, there are two metal sheet pans, neither of which actually fit into the oven that is there, so that was a bit of an issue, we made it work somewhat sideways and tilted. There are some mismatched lids etc. Otherwise no complaints whatsoever. We would gladly stay in this home again and we so enjoyed our friends and family in the space. Thank you!

The view was spectacular. The house was extremely cozy and spacious. The host was very accommodating and had great communication with us. The location was perfect for trips to the beach and the boardwalk. We will be back!

Check in was super easy. The kitchen was well stocked. I had about 20 family members over for dinner and there was more than enough room inside and outside

We enjoyed our stay very much. This is our fifth year in a row staying here. The house is very well stocked with practically everything a family would need!Thank-you again Lauren.

It was perfect.

We had a wonderful time. The house is equipped for a family stay. And, since we had every age group - toddler to over 70 - we were delighted to be in this house, this location, so close to the beach.

Host was very accommodating and was quick to respond to any questions. Location is clutch!

Excellent location, comfortable beds, the deck and patio are lovely.

Excellent home for a large group or family. My kids and I enjoyed our stay here. All of the beds were very comfortable. Excellent location for walking to the beach, boardwalk and wharf. Beautiful large deck with views of the river.

Walking distance to the boardwalk, beach, and Verve coffee and Seabreeze Cafe. Easy to bike from there. House is good for families. Host is easy to communicate with.

This was a great house near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Since you could walk there, you don’t have to pay for parking and they don’t charge admission, so you could go anytime, very convenient. The house itself is a little older, but still really nice even though it’s screaming to be upgraded. Great deck with a great view. No TV in the living room which was annoying and refreshing at the same time. Needs to have some sort of Bluetooth sound system though. All in all, the house was everything we needed it to be. But the location was the best part.

We come back to this house every year. Wonderful home and convenient location.

We walked twice to the Boardwalk with our kids, 4 and 8 and it was so easy. We walked to the park behind and up through the neighborhood of lovely historical mansions with their beautifully fragranced manicured gardens spilling into the sidewalk... Walked to 2 restaurants for dinners (5-6 blocks) and to the market for supplies (this walk was about 1/2 mi. ea way) Love the city lights at night. Beds are decent...kitchen definitely needs upgraded...we like to cook and this worked out fine.

My husband and I and two adult daughters (not their spouses or college age kids) enjoyed ourselves in this perfect for us place. We were busy with festivities so spent little time “at home”. Would have liked to spend time on that great deck. It was a little chilly though.

It was great to be so close to my sister’s house where we were having a family reunion.

When you first pull up to this property, it is very unassuming… But the minute you open the door the first words out of your mouth will be “WOW! The door opens to this large living and kitchen area and your eyes go straight to the amazing view out the back windows of the house… the view off the back deck is stunning and is perfect for sitting out there and watching the sunset… It is literally a short walk to the boardwalk, which is amazing considering parking down there is 25… This place was so conveniently located for Boardwalk activities… The inside of the house was very spacious… It is stocked with more than enough blankets, pillows, and towels… I will definitely be booking this place for all my trips to Santa Cruz.

We really enjoyed staying at this property. The balcony is gigantic and has wonderful views of the river. The home itself is much larger than it appears in the pictures. The bedrooms are huge, everything is perfectly clean, kitchen is well stocked with equipment, and the furniture (including the beds) is very comfortable. The owner was very accessible and responded immediately to any question we had. My only slight complaint is the description that it is 5 houses from the boardwalk is a little misleading. It's 5 houses away, down a big hill, over the river and then a bit of a walk after that. Highly recommend this property and will definitely stay there again the next time we are in town.

What a wonderful way for a family that is scattered across the US to gather to celebrate our youngest’s 50th birthday. The home was perfect in every way. This was our first experience with renting a home and were pleasantly surprised. We will definitely do it again.

We stayed for a week and enjoyed our time there - short walk to boardwalk and easy river path to downtown. Host great and easy to work with.

We had such a great time staying at Lauren's house! The beds were comfortable, the dining room table was large and fit everyone for dinner and the view from the balcony was beautiful and calming. We definitely recommend staying here!

We enjoyed our stay and location.

The house is centrally located so made it easy to move around Santa Cruz. It was clean & comfortable. Liked the downstairs area for the kids.

I was able to host a gathering for my daughter and her husband, the night before their wedding. With the balcony and the open living area, the space was perfect! We had about 35 people and there was plenty of space for everyone to mingle and have a nice meal . 😁😁

Nice place- plenty of room for all of us. Great view off the deck. The kitchen could use some organizing but well stocked. We liked the neighborhood and enjoyed a nice walk to a nearby park. Location was great for visiting the boardwalk and the downtown area. Overall we liked the place. Would go back again.

We really enjoyed the location and the view.

Central location for the mountain biking we did in the area. Owner very responsive. And one of the few/only properties I could find in the area with a garage for bike storage.
