    Do yourself a favor and stay here. If you are looking for a secluded place steps from the beach, shops, and restaurants, stay here. If you want a host who truly cares about your trip, a space that can accommodate both small and large groups, and an environment that is quiet and extremely clean, this is the place for you. Additionally, all of the beds were very comfortable. Btw the property is more comfortable and relaxing than it appears in the listing as well as the view form the rooftop. I could not recommend this stay strongly enough.

    Amazing place, 3 floors of spacious villa, plenty of bathrooms, bathtubs, showers, bedrooms. Tons of balcony space. Really close to the beach. This was an amazing experience.

    The villas were very clean. High walkability score with beach, boardwalk, pier within a half-mile and downtown within a mile. Access to private parking is a big plus. Great views from the upper floors. There is no A/C in the bedrooms so it can get a bit stuffy on warm nights. For us, it was fine with the windows and sliding balcony doors open, but the street noise may be bothersome to light sleepers. Kitchens were spacious and very well equipped. Beds comfy. The elevator was extremely helpful for my elderly mom as there are quite a number of stairs to negotiate. It also came in handy to transport luggage and groceries.Derek and his team were so helpful before and during our stay. They promptly answered all our questions and kept us well informed. We would certainly stay here again.

    Generous living space, generous dining areas, very well equipped kitchens. Restful bedrooms and bathrooms.Only suggestion would be to make the pantry cupboards available for food items, instead of kitchenware. The upper cupboard to the right of the stove is not that accessible.

    Our family of 11 people celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary. The house was very comfortable and well appointed. It was nice for each couple to have their own bedrooms and bathrooms. We had a blast.

    plenty of space so comfortable for work retreats and projects. The house was super well stocked and so comfortable to cook in and hang out at the end of a long work day. We got a little playing in as well. Would recommend to anyone coming to work or play in Santa Cruz.

    From start to finish, the booking, check-in, and check-out process was simple and easy. The property was amazing and perfectly suited for a group of long-term friends to spend time together to celebrate their good friends getting married.

    Fifteen of us shared the house and it was great. Everyone had a bed, the location was perfect and the house layout was very comfortable. We will keep it in mind for our next gathering!

    We had a large retreat and really enjoyed both the communal spaces, like the balconies and decks, and the apartments being in the same building. It made our over trip logistics much simpler and the walkable location made it easy for the group to have different activities to participate in nearby. Thank you for your communication and hospitality!

    From booking to messaging after the stay (a celebration card was inadvertently left behind-oops!) we were THRILLED with everything. For a beach stay it couldn't have been better. For a bunch of neat freaks, it couldn't have been better. We spent time at the boardwalk, cooked together, ate together, played games, laughed and cried. I can't imagine how it could have been any better!!! Thank you, thank you!!!

    What a wonderful location to celebrate our parent’s 80th birthday! We all loved the proximity to the beach and great walks to the boardwalk and up West Cliff Drive to view Steamer’s lane. There was something to do for everyone in our group from age 19 to age 80! The two kitchens proved very useful in stocking up on food so we could park the cars (big shoutout for parking spots!) and enjoy the beautiful home and beach. Communication was prompt and very helpful. The video tours are awesome- don’t skip the elevator instructions! The stairs are steep and the elevator was great as a dumb waiter for groceries & luggage or for the members in our family with bad knees. Really great place to enjoy Santa Cruz!

    This property was perfect for our family of 9 adults and 6 young children. We especially loved the proximity to the beach, pier and boardwalk. Derek, Sarah and Alex were extremely responsive to our questions. Can't wait to go back.

    This was our second time staying at this wonderful house! It's so close to everything and we absolutely love the rooftop. We love it here and are so grateful it can accommodate our large family. Hope to do it again in two years.

    When you go on vacation you just want to enjoy your destination. This property had everything you might need in the kitchens and bathrooms. It was so we'll stocked with any amenities you might need. The rooms were clean and very comfortable. Our instructions were very thorough and the property management was accessible and helpful when we needed them. We had a wonderful time and this property and the crazy good location made it the best.
