    This house was very cozy and gave my adult kids a nostalgic feeling—it reminded them of visiting their grandparents’ home when they were younger.The house is much bigger than it appears in the pictures. There’s a living room area with two futon sofas and a total of five beds, which was perfect for our family of six. The space was roomy, and we never felt like we were on top of each other. Everyone had room to spread out and enjoy their own time.We loved the kitchen—it was well stocked with appliances and tools. A huge plus was that all the cabinets were labeled, making it easy to find everything. That was honestly one of the best features!The garage was a lot of fun, with a pool table, foosball table, and a shuffleboard table. My kids and husband spent a lot of time playing pool and had a great time.The location was also excellent. Everything was close by, and all the activities and restaurants we visited were only about 10–20 minutes away.Overall, this property is a perfect place for a getaway!

    House was very clean, orderly and well stocked with dishes linens, etc. Carrie was very good communication, checked on us through the stay, and was super responsive. There were a few small items that could improve, but overall, a great place to hang when not at the beach. A nice little home steps from the beach, and a cool back story. A little bit of California history.

    We greatly enjoyed our stay at Ansel's Getaway over Christmas! The house is well-appointed with all the games you could want and a nice TV. Comfortable beds, a well-stocked kitchen with any item you might need for cooking as well. Our only suggestion would be to have a heating source in the garage/game room, as it can be quite chilly in there at night. Carrie is responsive and a gracious host. The location close to beaches, great restaurants and the wonderful Balefire Brewery. Overall we highly recommend staying at this property!

    We loved it!! The location was great. We went to Capitola, Moss Landing, and Santa Cruz boardwalk. We had 5 adults and plenty of room. Don’t miss out on the farmers market every Sunday from 9 to 1:00. So many pastries, organic produce, and yummy food. Carrie was available to communicate with and very helpful. We hope to be back again.

    House and location had something for every age range. Sand and toys were close for the 9yr old, Boardwalk and Starbucks for the teenagers, all the games (pool table, schuffle board, foozball for the adults (and kids). And for me at 77, a little time to just watch the ocean. We had a wonderful time.
