A fantastic location. Has everything they say they do. We had a very special time. I'd live there is I could.

Property is definitely dated and doesn’t feel clean as carpet, upholstery and linens are terribly stained and worn.
Needs more towels, especially since there are no laundry facilities. We were given 2 dish towels, one really worn hot pad, no oven mitts, etc. Cutting boards were so awful, we didn’t use them. Toaster oven didn’t work. Hair dryer didn’t work. Light bulbs were burned out.
The view was amazing but given the price, we expected higher quality.

And the position of this property is worth a stay, the back bedroom is very near the road and was noisy. Otherwise we felt it could’ve been upgraded somewhat,But all in all we had a wonderful time

Ocean view was amazing, but the place has not been kept up. Things were either broken or didn't work. Not very clean. King beds were two twins put together with OLD pillows. If it weren't for the ocean view this would be a train wreck.

The location of this place is AWESOME. Not only is it steps from a cozy little stretch of beach, but it sits on a small outcrop of rocks giving you the most incredible views of the sunrise/sunsets and ocean! The place itself was spotless when we arrived, and the unit is light and bright and well taken care of. Very responsive owner. We loved our time here and will be back.

The location of this home is nearly unbelievable -- we watched some beautiful sunsets out on the back porch. The house itself is quite spacious, but well-worn in. It felt like some parts of the home could use a good deep cleaning.

Exactly as advertised. Beautiful location with views up and down the coast, easily able to see dolphins and otters from the front of the property (even from within, through the windows.) One house over from the main, nearby beach area so literally a couple dozen steps.
Hope to come back soon.

Amazing
This is the second time I've stayed and we tried down stairs this time, which was just as fabulous as the upstairs. The view and access to the beach couldn't be any better. It is the best place to relax and enjoy the ocean sites and sounds. A fully stocked kitchen, BBQ, and Jacuzzi, make it easy to just stay in and enjoy the spectacular ocean views. An incredible place to unwind and revel in the beauty of Nor Cal.

Amazing Location!
Amazing location with it's proximity to downtown Santa Cruz and it's own little beach. Place was a little dated but clean. The hot tub is very nice and right on the ocean! Owners were accessible and check in and out instructions were easy. Thanks for a nice stay!

Best location, view. Clean unit with all you need. Great local support.
Thanks so much for a great stay - the xmas tree was an unexpected nice touch. I recommend and would stay here again - best spot on the coast, exciting location right on the ocean, walk to all you need, well stocked, nice hot tub, very responsive management, even on xmas day! Again, the view and location right on the water is special for the area. Thanks again.

OUR STAY AT VILLA VISTA
The latter part of February marks our sixth visit to Villa Vista.
We have so enjoyed our time at the beach house, with a glorious view of the ocean, watching the Surfers and this year, we were mesmerized by the Maverick type waves.
The Condo is always spotlessly clean, tastefully furnished and has everything we could possible need for preparing any meals. It has become our annual getaway that we look forward to each year.

relaxing and beautiful
I have come many times to this beach house in Santa Cruz over the years and every year I come, I always feel sad upon departure morning. This beach house is located perfectly at the oceans edge with great access to the beach where you can enjoy all the activities one wishes to have with their families. I appreciate the fact that there are beach toys provided under the stairwell for when I bring my children with me. After a long day at the beach it's always nice to enjoy some time in the hot tub provided where I can relax and take in the view while feeling the ocean breeze on my face. Man times I have come here and enjoyed staying in just taking in the view from what this home has to offer, a breathtaking view from the living room by the rock fireplace makes this home so relaxing with the sound of the ocean waves. Venturing out to see the surrounding areas for shopping is always fun for me as Capitola, a small town filled with a variety of stores for clothing, toys, art, antiques, and food, is only a couple minutes of a drive or even a peaceful walk away from the beach house. all in all this is a beautiful and relaxing place to come and I look forward to many more visits with my friends and family here.

Fabulous place
Villa Vista was fabulous. Great views. Quiet (away from the boardwalk/downtown area) yet close enough that one was close to great restaurants and other enjoyable activities. Kerstin was great and responded right away to any questions I had. Highly recommended.
