Steps From The Sand, Sun, And Surf

You can't beat the location! Literally everything is walking distance. The little surf shack is adorable and allows a stay that makes you feel like a local! The owners, surf shop workers and neighbors are all awesome! If you are looking for a genuine Santa Cruz experience steps from the beach I can't recommend this place enough. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Great place centrally located near the beach/board walk. Would definitely book again!

Great location! Family of 5 stayed comfortably. Unfortunately it rained the whole weekend we were here visiting, but Santa Cruz didn’t disappoint. My only suggestion to the host would be add more blankets as it got real cold at night with the weather being as it was. Otherwise, super fun visit. Would stay again based on price and location!

Great location . Host always responds quickly . Bring ground coffee . Bowling alley has fun things to do late at night :)

Fantastic location; easy walking distance to beach, pier and Boardwalk. Much quieter than I was expecting (which was great), and great communication with the property owner in advance of the trip. Would definitely book again!

The location was perfect for what we needed. Everything was within walking distance (the wharf, beach, breakfast, etc). The home fit all 5 of us comfortably.

I love old beach cottages and this did not disappoint. Simple but clean and classic. Strong surfing vibe with the Surf shop next door. Kitty corner from the Santa Cruz wharf and just steps away from the beach and boardwalk. It was perfect. Coffee and pastries around the corner on Beach Ave, great Mexican Food at Las Palmas a 2 minute walk up Pacific Ave!

Location, location, location! We rented this cottage to celebrate our daughter's sweet 16 birthday. It was 2 adults and 3 teenage girls. The property was perfect for us. I parked my car on Friday and did not move it until we left. The location is unbelievable. Directly across the street from the Dream Inn and steps from the wharf and beach. Love that we could walk back-and-forth to the boardwalk all day. It's so close. It was quiet, comfortable, and we had everything we needed. I made dinner one night and had every utensil and item required. The pictures on the listing are very accurate. Our host was amazing. She responded to all my messages very quickly. Here's my tips...• It's one pillow per person and no extra blankets so if you are used to extra linens, bring them. Also, no washcloths were provided. • We had issues with 2 of the 3 TVs. So if you're coming to Santa Cruz to hang out and watch TV, might want to reconsider.• We used disposable serveware which was great because there is no dishwasher and there was only a few forks. Would definitely go back. The parking lot in front of the unit was pretty chill. Everyone at the surf shop next-door was nice. It was a delightful experience!

Amazing location! It doesn’t get any better. The parking lot got a little busy at times but it was manageable and well worth it. The only real complaint we had was that the bed in the master seemed realllyyy fragile. We aren’t big people but when we would lay down at night it felt like it was going to break. It also got SURPRISINGLY hot on most days and we were sweatingggg in the afternoon. Other than that we really enjoyed staying here and would stay again!

Place was perfect for Santa Cruz Tri(athlon)2 critiques: host did not give give us code till 7 minutes before check-in, two doors to bathroom don’t latch properly.

Great location! We enjoyed the comfortable house. It was nicely decorated. Perfect walking distance to pier, boardwalk and shops. We loved it!

Really wonderful property location. The house isn't fancy but the beds were comfortable and it has everything you need. Will definitely rent again if available.

Great

My husband and I stayed here with our three teen children and it was perfect. Great location and everything we needed for a lovely charming stay.

The beach cottage was exactly as described and shown in the photos. Comfortable for the 5 of us. Very convenient to boardwalk and West Cliff Dr. Host gave great recommendations for grocery stores, coffee shops etc. We very much enjoyed our stay!

Great place to stay

Perfect spot for a weekend getaway!
