not at all of what was on the website. the website stated on the beach it wasn't said tennis no such,from the upstairs balcony all you could see was an outdoor potty and big trucks, hammering all day. the worst was a kitchen upstairs which was never stated. CA has a disability act that must be disclosed and wasn't. Frankly I never heard of a kitchen upstairs. I never would have rented this property if I knew what was really there! carpets dirty and smelly. I give it a 1

the property is very nice. The windows were very dirty and there is major construction directly across the street impacting the views which should have been disclosed to us.

Family and friends gathered over Memorial weekend for a lovely time enjoying local beaches (two in walking distance) and the Boardwalk scene . I goofed on the registration and the host bent over backwards to accommodate our party. Extremely clean, great fenced yards

Our family from 2 others states came to stay here with us for Spring Break 2024. The ocean views at this house are amazing! Epic location for beautiful walks along West Cliff, and location perfect to explore all of Santa Cruz. Dog friendly a huge plus for our fur baby. Great communication, house well stocked with everything we needed and nice and clean. We would love to return to entertain friends and family. Thank you for the wonderful accommodations, gem of a house.
