I brought my son from Florida to visit my daughter who lives in Santa Rosa, The home was the perfect setting for the three of us. It had everything we needed. Beautiful outdoor patios, light and bright. Quiet street in walking distance to beach and restaurants. I highly recommend it for any age group wanting a getaway.

We had a wonderful stay! We enjoyed the walkable proximity (about 1/2 mile) to the beach, convenience store and ice cream shop, as well as a very short drive to Capitola and Aptos for dining and hanging out. We also drove just a few miles and took a beautiful hike in the Forest of Nisene Marks state park. The house itself was very clean, had everything we needed and wanted. The yard is lovely and and I made good use of the hammock each night. There are a bunch of nice touches, like a couple of bikes, bocce ball in the back yard and a car pass for the State Parks.

This was a great spot to have our first vacation as a family of 5. We have small children and wanted to have somewhere close to the beach but still in a quiet neighborhood. This spot was great. They loved the backyard when we weren't at the beach, especially the hammock. All the amenities were great and while it was close to everything, the neighborhood was quiet and lots of families enjoying the nice weather.

My husband and two children stayed here for 3 nights. We would have stayed longer if it was available! This is the perfect amount of space for the 4 of us. The outside seating/space made it feel so spacious. The neighborhood was very quiet. I loved the fact that we had a state park pass to use as Seacliff Beach is close by. We chose to drive there instead of walk. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the beds were comfortable, and the washer and dryer worked well. The information binder was a plus! We’d love to come back for a stay again and explore more of the area. Just a heads up, at this time, there tends to be a lot of traffic on highway 1, so plan your travel time accordingly if going to Santa Cruz.

The beach house was perfect for our family of 5. It is clean, well appointed, and conveniently located. It is exactly as advertised and the owner is kind and responsive.

This was a first time visit to Santa Cruz for a friend and her family from Las Vegas. The house was perfectly located, easy to find, nestled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. The host was very responsive. The guest book was full of helpful information about the area, including a street map for a 10 minute walk to the beach. You don't have to wander far for groceries or a delicious ice cream treat. The house features two relaxing patios. The outdoor lighting for the front patio was enchanting at night.

We had a great family getaway at Colm's lovely property. It's a very relaxed, low-key beach house; wonderfully appointed with everything you might need to enjoy the local beaches or just chill in the back yard. We had three generations on site, so it was really helpful to have a quiet reading spot (the hammock got a lot of use), as well as more social areas like the outdoor dining area. The state parks pass was a particular benefit of staying at this house--one or all of us could run down to the beach for a dusk walk, or the whole day. Colm was a gracious host -- accessible, easygoing, welcoming, just like his house. We had a great time!

The house was clean, spacious for a family of four, and comfortable. But the best part is the outdoor space. There are two tables for outdoor dining, a wonderful hammock, two comfortable Adirondack chairs, and an area for Bocce ball and corn hole. Plus, the property has everything you need for the beach—a beach umbrella, beach chairs, towels, boogie boards, a standup paddle board, and sand toys. We highly recommend this house for families with active kids.

The Kennedy Beach House is in a great location--very quite neighborhood. We spend a lot of time on Capitola beach and it's only about 10 minutes away. The house appears to have been recently remodeled. The open floor plan of the house is light and livable. The furniture and beds are very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again.
