    Close to the ocean for our morning walks. The Hot tub, so easy to raise the cover and nicely hot. Loved the huge water containers in the frig. Enjoyed the Sun deck, too. Shopping and restaurants very close, especially Shadowbrook.

    What a lovely home with wonderful amenities! Truly we had everything we needed and more. The host has thought of all those little things which makes living in someone else’s home so much easier like nightlights and a fully equipped kitchen. And the mattress was the most comfortable I have slept on in a long time. We took a picture of the tag so we can get one for ourselves.

    What a lovely listing, we were so happy, comfy and cozy. The hot tub was ideal. Fantastic location to take in dreamy Pleasure Point and steps to the ocean. We walked at sunrise, sunset, in between, so easy. The airy deck delivered for coffee and meals. Thoughtfully appointed. Super comfy beds and pillows, we slept great. Bring an eye mask as the downstairs bedroom has some light leaks. I really appreciated that the bed linens and towels are washed on site in fragrance free detergent. Easy check in and easy parking. 100% recommend.

    This property was terrific and Steve was a pleasure to work with. We stayed in California for a week and our stay at this property was our most relaxing by far. A short walk to multiple beaches where we watched surfers and took in the sunsets. Cool neighborhood with a very nice vibe. Great coffee and burrito shop a few blocks away with great food and java. The top floor of this home really makes it special, full of light and with views over most of the surrounding houses. And our teens loved the hot tub.

    The house had a great layout for enough privacy and gatherings. So comfortable & clean. Amazing beds. And, the neighborhood was great. We used the bikes to ride everyday - along the beach, to Verve Coffee and Capitola. Just a fantastic location and space. Thank you!

    We had a wonderful time. The location was perfect for beach and food access. We split our time between the Boardwalk and the Beach. House was clean, organized and easily accessible. The only thing I would suggest is don’t sleep on the trundle bed with your toddler if you are an adult. It isn’t for tall people lol
