Stayed May 15, 2026The best part of this house is the view. Several reviews mentioned the home needed updates but that’s the nice version. It’s actually not well maintained and needs a serious deep clean. We wrote the host about a series of issues so I hope they get addressed for the next guest (broken toilet seat, broken bike, no useable frying pans, hole in the wall, etc). For the price I wouldn’t stay here again but the beds were decent and sheets appeared clean. They had a drip coffee maker and filters so no need to buy those for your stay. Parking was easy and about a 20 minute walk to the Boardwalk.

Stayed Apr 30, 2026this is the fifth time we have stayed at this house over the years, and we love it. It fits or needs perfectly, the view from the front porch is worth all the money.

Stayed Nov 25, 2025Our family stayed for the Thanksgiving holiday and we couldn’t have picked a better home for our trip. The kitchen was stocked perfectly for our cooking needs, the house was beautiful and very clean, and the hot tub and outdoor shower was a great bonus! We highly recommend this for any guests wanting a comfortable stay and an easy location to the beach and all things Santa Cruz.

Stayed Oct 17, 2025The location is PERFECT! Great view just across the street. Short walk to beach, boardwalk, and lighthouse. The home is an older home, but has been maintained well. Hanging out in the front porch admiring the view and people watching was our favorite part of this home.

Stayed Oct 9, 2025We had a wonderful family reunion at this home in Santa Cruz! The location couldn’t be more perfect—right on West Cliff Drive, with stunning ocean views and just a 10-minute walk to the Boardwalk. We loved sitting out front, watching the waves and all the people biking, walking, and walking their dogs along the path.The house itself was very welcoming and accommodating. It’s an older home and shows some wear and tear from years of use, but it had everything we needed. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes and cooking supplies, so we were able to make all our meals there. Our favorite spot was definitely the front fire pit—it was the perfect place to gather in the evenings.All in all, it was a great place for our family to relax, reconnect, and enjoy beautiful Santa Cruz!

Stayed Aug 15, 2025Beautiful cozy home in a perfect location! Close enough to walk to the boardwalk but just far enough to enjoy peace and relaxation from the crowds. The views from the front deck are amazing, with the boardwalk lights across the water glowing at night while you enjoy the warm firepit & listen to sounds of the seals in the distance, surfers and otters in the bay, palm trees gently blowing in the warm breeze, all right across the street. The house was clean, cozy and welcoming, with comfortable beds and lovely decorations, all the amenities you need. We absolutely loved this home and so grateful for your helping us to make our trip to CA memorable and fantastic! Thank you!

Stayed Nov 27, 2024The location is great. We had great weather. We were close to where our family celebrated Thanksgiving.I do feel it is very expensive. Total everything and divide by 4 , we paid 1200 a day. Never have I ever paid this much. There were only five of us.

Stayed Oct 17, 2024Spectacular view. Outstanding front deck and true to form pictures. Walking access to so many beautiful Santa Cruz destinations including Natural Bridges, the Wharf and the Boardwalk, and downtown. Comfy beds and plenty of space for 10 ladies seeking a fulfilling escape from the day to day mundane! Some plumbing issues but they were quick to send reinforcements to get it tended to.
