Stayed Mar 18, 2026Exactly as advertised. The beach is Duden a set of steps right out the front door essentially with beautiful views from the well equipped top deck. Host had all beach necessities available for us. This house is a gem, decorated beautifully, comfortable, and clean. Beds were comfy. Sitting area with view of the bay if you don't want to go outdoors. Ocean waves putting you to sleep at night. I could have stayed forever.

Stayed Aug 28, 2025The location was amazing. We were right next to the beach and close to some great surfing spots. I thought we were out of the craziness of downtown Santa Cruz and it was very peaceful. We use the roof deck a lot which an amazing view and everything was supplied for us, including coffee.

Stayed Aug 11, 2025We had a wonderful stay at the house! It has everything a family or group of friends need. The kitchen is well-stocked and the house has everything needed to take advantage of the beach which is steps away! The views from the deck are stunning and the house is cozy! Could not recommend this house enough!

Stayed Aug 18, 2025This property had the charm of a Victorian Beach cottage with the convenience of a modern, well equipped kitchen with lots of extras supplied like paper products, spices, etc. The rooftop patio gave spectacular views. Bedrooms were comfortable. The “mermaid” themed decor was delightful! Extremely well located, steps to beach, short walk to Starbucks and Live Oak farmers market. Lots of beach equipment and games. We had a great time!

Stayed Jun 20, 2025Four adults and two children under 10 had a blast at this great beach house located steps away from the beach in Santa Cruz area. Very convenient very laid-back and very fun. Flew kites, boggie boarded, grilled out, and had many seal and otter sightings. Sunsets and wine on roof deck. Great stay and owners touched base to be sure all was good!

Stayed Jun 13, 2025Rented this charming beach cottage for my nephew’s graduation. It was perfect. Hosted 2 dinners at the home and everyone loved the house. The home is bigger than it appears with a large living room and a large family room. Plus it has an incredible roof top deck. The location was also ideal being only a house or two away from the beach.

Stayed Apr 17, 2025We enjoyed the close proximity and access to the beach, but hanging out on the deck was the highlight. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The mermaid counting challenge was a fun little activity for the girls. The Chardonnay was a nice surprise. Thank you.
