We absolutely loved the location! The beds were comfortable. There's even a drawer full of toys and games. Everything we needed for the beach was provided. It was perfect for our little family but has TONS of room for us to bring friends next time. It's affordable and comfortable. The only thing was the dryer didn't seem to be heating fully enough to dry our laundry, but that's an easy fix!

We brought our daughter and her friends to Santa Cruz to celebrate her 16th birthday. The house was perfectly located so the girls could walk to the beach/boardwalk/wharf. The house was beautiful, clean and had great views. The kitchen table only seats 4 (on the main kitchen level) which is challenging when you have a household of 9...but we made it work! We had an absolutely lovely time and hope to return in the future!

It’s was a great place for our family to come and celebrate our graduate. The proximity to the beach, boardwalk, rides and pier was perfect. We also walked to market area and had some great meals and entertainment. The Ideal Restaurant across the street was great food and fast and did a great job accommodating our group of 8. We also ordered in from the Mission Street BBQ.

We enjoyed our stay tremendously. The home was spacious and tailored for several people to all have their own space if they chose. The open kitchen allowed us to all to cook and mingle freely. We opened the doors to the balcony to see and hear all that Santa Cruz has to offer. We parked our vehicles and walked everywhere for 4 days. Thank you!!

Property is in an awesome (albeit not very private) spot right near the boardwalk and wharf. Clean, spacious, and well laid out, we had a great time. One note-. There is a beach parking lot for 20 or so cars almost directly below the bottom deck. This lot was CLOSED when we stayed due to construction, but if it were open I could see some people feeling a lack of privacy, particularly on the lower level

What a cool and unique house! My wife, kids, and parents stayed while visiting CA wine country. We loved the property, especially waking up happily to rain dripping from the surrounding redwoods onto all the skylights. The house had everything we needed to be comfortable and happy, and checking/checkout was a breeze. Would love to come back!

Imagine your own little island but it’s a stone’s throw from everything! We came to Santa Cruz to celebrate our son’s 16th birthday and had a blast, even with rainy days. The layout of the house is perfect for a big group and the house is stocked with everything you could need. Host is so nice and Johnny-on-the-spot with communication. Will definitely seek out this house again.
