Family Fun with Old World Charm in a Five Star Location

We had a great stay and always love being in Santa Cruz. The property is located in a great area with a view of the ocean right out of the front yard and we were able to walk down to the pier for dinner at night and around the corner to a nice coffee shop each morning.The house was clean and charming with a lot of interesting history on the walls. The backyard was well kept and a nice area to just relax and find some quiet.We had a great weekend and would stay again in the future.

All in all, an excellent stay for 6 mature women who had the time of their lives. Everything was as stated and clean. Exceptionally good location, and friendly neighbors.

Terrific location for a family stay easy walk to the wharf, boardwalk, beaches. Pretty quiet neighborhood for as close to everything that it is. Very well stocked house. Hot tub works well. Couldn’t ask for a nicer stay!

The hot tub was a great feature! The host was generous enough to stock the kitchen with coffee, some spices, cooking oil… Great location by one of the best Surf Break’s in the country. Nice and quiet. The only drawbacks are the dishwasher is very small, and the windows in the master do not open. But neither of those were a big problem for us.

Wonderful, charming house perfect for the family, fantastic location and well stocked with essentials for an easy stay. Fantastic host and one of the best guest experiences i've had in a while! Would certainly stay again!

Welcoming host, excellent location

Safe parking. Very clean hot tub.

Rob was an attentive host. The location was perfect for our itinerary. We have a toddler so we had to move some fragile objects to higher shelves to ensure nothing was broken.

This was a wonderful home to gather our friends and family to enjoy my son's wedding. Loved the special lotion that was provided and then promptly forgot to grab it on our way out. It was perfect place for the wedding party.

Very clean home. Walkable to wharf, restaurant's, coffee shop, arcade and rides and view the surfers catching some big waves.

This was a great spot for the Santa Cruz triathlon. We could walk to the start and the transition area.

This is our second time staying at this lovely home. The location is perfect. We really enjoy the walk to the Boardwalk and pier. The house is very clean and well equipped to handle a large family.

Beautiful home, excellent location. Home had everything that we needed and more. We had a lovely time. Spent time in spa, played games in the yard, watched surfers and walked to beach. It was a most enjoyable stay!

Wonderful home with all the amenities and perfect location. Can’t wait until next year to stay again

Very clean in an excellent location

Amazing location! Easy contactless entry, gracious hosts, information book for the area and info on the house, lovely backyard, great hot tub, well stocked kitchen! It was so comfortable for 6 guests.

Some friends and I stayed here on a recent bike trip to Santa Cruz and it was awesome. It's an amazing house in a nice quiet neighborhood and it's about 30 seconds to the cliffs and water. The hot tub was a welcome perk after a hard day of riding and we couldn't have been happier. Thanks for having us!

Great location for walking/biking, watching the surfers and going out to eat. Very nice neighborhood and the back yard is great for hanging out in especially with the hot tub. The hosts are responsive and provide a wonderful vacation home. We will be back next year!

It’s a nice house in a great location that is close to the boardwalk! It has a nice yard too if you bring a dog like we did!

Comfortable beds, good kitchen, and hot tub was nice. Great location on the west side of SC near surf spots, the boardwalk and a short drive to downtown.

We came back for another great spring break. Rob was so quick to respond with all communication throughout the trip. The location couldn’t be better and my family and our dog loved the walks along west cliff. We love the house and our kids especially love the hot tub. The kitchen has everything you need. Even though it was kind of cool we kept the doors open and our dog loved running around the yard. My husband had the perfect set up to keep his surf boards out back and rinse off after surfing the lane. My kids loved riding their bikes around lighthouse park.

Stayed for a week, hosted a large family T-day gathering (after checking with our attentive hosts for permission) and had an absolutely amazing time. This house is so very comfortable, has every cooking amenity needed for 7-rib prime roast, gallons of cioppino (go to H&H for crab and oysters, Stagnaros for everything else!), cozy seating for all, outstanding location being so walkable from Downtown to along West Cliff bluffs. The Hardwicke’s are fantastic hosts, responding quickly to every question or request (bless them!). We loved staying here and highly recommend this spot if you’d like a quiet, yet close to everything, getaway. Worth every penny and we hope to come back!

Location was perfect. My children and grandchildren enjoyed walks to the pier, fun zone, and the surfing beaches. The home was cozy and had a beautiful old fashion look. Using the TVs was challenging. It would be great to simplify the process.

Our weekend at the seaside treasure was spectacular. The house is truly magical and was roomy and warm. We enjoyed being steps from the beach and really felt an old Santa Cruz vibe. Loved the hottub, amazing backyard, comfy beds and fully equipped kitchen. I even made my Son his 21st birthday cake. Thanks for the baking powder that I forgot.Can’t wait for our next visit.
