The house was exactly as advertised. And it met our needs for the 3 nights we were in town. Wish we'd had more time to enjoy the area and the beach which was so close.

We come back every summer. Yes, we call it ours. Probably because we love it so much. It feels like home. Cozy not sterile and the location can’t be beat. Views from the front porch and back deck. See you next year little cottage!

We’ve been meeting up with family in Santa Cruz for years. Found our cottage several years ago and have been returning ever since. The location can’t be beat for beach and restaurants. Everything we need is a walk away. The cottage is always clean and ready for us. The owners have made upgrades over the years that have made our stay easier and more enjoyable. We’ll be make next year! Thank you.

Wr had a wonderful stay in a fantastic location with everything we needed. And for us, all that was needed was being at the beach. We were also pleasantly surprised by how close we were to Twin Lakes Beach!…just 100 steps (and i counted) The back deck was where we would start and end the day—a peaceful relaxing spot for the family where we had all our meals when we didn’t eat out. Also, there are plenty of restaurants in walking distance or a very short drive. The home is cottage cozy, very charming and plenty of supplies. We would leave the windows open at night to take in the ocean sounds. It was all quite lovely. The only suggestion is a more visible ‘no parking’ sign on the garage door as there were beachgoers who parked in that spot. They let us know later they didn’t see the faded sign. So that’s how awesome this trip was for us if that is the only ‘issue’ and i expect to be fielding questions from the kids on a daily basis as to when we can go back..what a great trip!

This cozy beach cottage has it all and it’s our favorite among all the other Twin Lakes cottages we’ve enjoyed. One block from the beach, view of harbor from deck, a garden both front and back, plus an outdoor shower. The fun beach-theme decor is everywhere. Truly a perfect experience.

Better than advertised! This cottage had everything a person could ask for, location, sunset views, clean, price, stones throw to the beach! Perfect weekend getaway and met all our expectations! I would definitely stay again and plan doing so, would recommend to anyone! I hope we left it better than when we arrived.

Owners were very responsive and accommodating. We were allowed both early check in and late check out without any glitches. The cottage is adorable and was very clean and organized. Lovely walkable neighborhood with nearby cafe, two restaurants, a gift store and of course the beach. Will definitely stay here again.

Teen and I had a lovely two nights at Santa Cruz cottage. Communication was excellent and pictured as advertised. Backyard deck is a sunny quiet spot. Street parking was challenging with beach traffic but everything else was lovely and we enjoyed our stay. Noise at night is very quiet and beds were very comfortable.

The cottage has a lovely view from the back porch and is located close to the beach. Parking can be an issue on weekends. Also, remember to bring your own toiletries and toilet paper. We had a lovely time. Cute and comfortable. We will look it up again when we return to Santa Cruz.

We really enjoyed this darling cottage. It was so close to the beach, which made it so easy to hang out at the beach walk back to the house. It was also really close to Crow's nest area and the beach market. We really liked how well stocked and the attention to little details. The deck furniture was comfortable and even though it was a limited view of the harbor, it was enough to get a nice feel of being close to the water, listening to the seals, and watching the sunset or sunrise. Everything was really clean. Lots and lots of extra blankets and towels. A perfect spot, thank you!

This is our getaway. Our escape from our work life. Although we have found our favorite Santa Cruz haunts over the years, this is literally our home by the bay. Okay, not really our home. But it feels like home when we’re there. We love the location. So close to the beach. And food! We rarely leave once we arrive. Everything we need is supplied or close enough to walk. Thank you again!

This was not our first stay and will not be our last at the Twin Lakes beach cottage. The location is absolutely perfect! Just a few steps from the best beach in Santa Cruz. Plenty to see and do around the Santa Cruz harbor. Including a coffee shop for your morning coffee and restaurants all within a short walk. The beach cottage is just as it’s described. So cute with a definite beach vibe. The deck out back is a perfect place to begin and end the day.

We adored this cottage. The location is so amazing, and the cottage feels like you just walked into Gramma’s cottage where you've been coming for years. It was a really special house, and we wish we could have stayed longer. Scott was super responsive, and the house had everything you need. We will definitely rent this house again!

Beach house is super cute, tiny - but well designed with an outstanding deck view of the harbor. Soo close to the beach. We loved it. An authentic piece of Santa Cruz. Turns out my bro-in-law lived there his Senior Yr in HS and spent most that year on that beach. What are the chances??? The whole thing was most awesome. 😎

My husband and I celebrated his birthday here. We are very familiar with the Santa Cruz area and wanted to be near the beach. This cottage was perfect. It is charming, has a fabulous deck and is so close to the beach with a coffee shop and the Crows Nest down the street. Directions were very clear and check in was simple. The linens were very nice and everything was very clean. We will be back with our kids next time.
