Enjoy the sun and the great atmosphere at the Surf Shack. A beautiful cottage.

I loved this place! I walked to breakfast, coffee, burritos, and delicious Italian. The beach is so close and beautiful. Easy parking, cute neighborhood. The home is very comfortable. I hope to be back soon!

The house was great. As was Helda. It was easy to find and close to what we wanted. The house was very clean and well appointed. It worked perfectly for our weekend away.

Very thoughtful host. We are so grateful!Quiet, peaceful spot. Far enough from downtown to feel safe, yet just a short walk to Farmer’s Market and wonderful restaurants. There was a detour to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, due to bridge repairs - once this job is completed, it will be easier to drop off the family there. It was a relief to have normal showers, which are becoming harder to find (with a curtain / door). It was excellent value for the last minute booking.

The house was exactly what we were hoping for! Bright and clean, comfortable for a family of 4, walkable to beach, farmers market, coffee, and several restaurants. Bonus, the patio was lovely and we actually enjoyed our coffee out there every morning and an early evening beverage every afternoon. Easy parking, check in, and communication with host. Will absolutely come again!

Excellent property! Well located for beach, walks, dining, morning coffee... Loved the front sitting area, comfy beds, excellent kitchen. We will definitely plan to stay here the next time we're in Santa Cruz.

Super cute and cozy home with adorable beachy decor throughout. Has a patio area and a gated carport to keep your vehicle secure. Beach chairs, umbrellas, etc provided for use. Walking distance to the beach and eateries. Easy drive to Mystery Spot, Boardwalk, etc. Cozy, clean and comfortable for a small family. Has the amenities needed to make your stay comfortable. Check in and out was easy and the host was responsive and great with communication. Would stay again and would recommend to others.

Enjoyed the place and friends

The house was perfect for our small family. Close walk to nice beaches. Short drive to the boardwalk and Capitola. It was a perfect escape from the hot summer temps we get at home. We will definitely return and would highly recommend staying here.

Wonderful location, on a quiet street. House is roomy with a cute little garden patio to enjoy.

Wonderful and relaxing beach house in a great location!

The house was location just a short walk from black state beach which was a nice smaller beach that’s less crowded than most. They had towels, an umbrella, some beach chairs and a wagon available to use which was nice. They also have an outdoor shower to rinse off all the sand so you’re not tracking it inside the house. It was a cute cozy house and when I reached out with some questions they responded back quickly. My family had a great time and we would definitely stay here again.
