Stayed Nov 17, 2024This home was in a good location. It’s central to a ton of places to go and things to do in all of Santa Cruz and surrounding areas, which was nice. The beach was just steps away! Can’t really beat that! The home is kind of small and it’s very old. Charming, and interesting but the age is felt throughout. Amenity wise it wasn’t really lacking in anything, just could use some more attention to detail overall.

Stayed Jul 31, 2024The house itself is older but very comfortable. The main draw is the location as its steps from the beach. We had a great stay and will definitely be back.

Stayed Jun 24, 2024The property was in a great location close to the beach. The house had adequate amenities - dishes, pots and pans. It was perfect for what we were looking for. The dishwasher was not adequately secure. Added dishes and the entire unit landed forward. The front window with the desk needs a curtain or window film to reduce the amount of sunlight in the early afternoon.

Stayed May 24, 2024As others noted in their review, this is a cute house with an older vibe. It was was warm so no central heat was OK. Baths clean; the kitchen was well-appointed, but it's a quirky/old house. Good price for our family of 6 (two adults, two 13-year-old twin boys, and my senior parents). We had a good table to eat at, each of us had decent beds to sleep on, and two full bathrooms made it easier for us to be together. We also liked being so close to the beach. I sat on the deck a few afternoons and had a nice glass of wine. We also loved that it was just 15 min from the beach boardwalk. Wish they spent $ to update living room;furniture is sparse (just two chairs and a smallish couch. The backyard is just also OK. Pretty small, no hot tub, and the furniture is old and rusted (just four metal chairs and a metal table). Not too appetizing to sit back there. They should at least have a functioning umbrella in the back yard for folks to sit during the day and maybe update the furniture. The charcoal BBQ was also just OK. We cooked in the stove and on the stovetop indoors, mostly. Hallie was responsive! for the price (under 600 before fees, taxes; More like 900/night w fees, taxes, etc.), it was decently priced for the area. In the future, I might splurge for a house with more amenities and a hot tub as the ocean is cold and it's nice to come back to a hot tub and a yard that makes it appetizing to sit in and enjoy the ocean breeze. Still, we had a great stay overall!

Stayed Apr 3, 2024We stayed 3 amazing nights. It was a 50-75 walk to the beach, the house was incredibly clean and fully stocked and it was spacious. No central heating but it wasn't an issue because of the heaters placed around and the gas fireplace. We were there on a very cold night and were very warm and cozy inside. We are planning to go back!

Stayed Mar 29, 2024This is a great location. Close to Seabright beach, the boardwalk, and dining. House is charming. Only heat source is fireplace and space heaters. Not a deal breaker but wasn’t aware.

Stayed Jul 12, 2023House is very close to Seabright Beach. Walked there & to the Boardwalk as well as to town for dinner & breakfast. Location was fantastic! House is old & needs maintenance. An upstairs window wouldn’t close at all & because we didn’t know this when we attempted my hand went right through the rotted wood. Doors stick, don’t close, are extremely loud meaning someone attempting to enter/exit a bedroom is likely to wake up the neighboring room. There were heaps of towels & linens provided which was nice! Beach towels available. None of the rooms have blackout drapes so we hung extra blankets/duvets from the curtain rods. Was fine but if you’re super light sensitive when attempting to sleep I would make sure to have an eye mask. Beds very uncomfortable. Mattresses & possibly frames are due to be replaced. House is over 100 years old, doesn’t mean everything inside must be! It was a great base location for playing in Santa Cruz. We left a night early bc no one slept through the night the previous two nights & we decided to hit the road & finally get some sleep at home.

Stayed Apr 19, 2023My sister and I really enjoyed staying here. When the beach got to windy we found the chairs on the front porch the perfect place to read a good book and enjoy the sunshine. This next part is only for the owners: it would be so much better to have a mirror in the bathroom and have it near an outlet. Using a blow drier or curling iron is impossible! Also the tub is very slippery and could use a rubber mat for safety.
