It was a great location close to surfing. My boys surfed all day and we went for walks. Kitchen had everything we needed. Very cozy

This was an amazing spot walking distance to the beach with a great back yard!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this cozy house in Capitola! It’s only a 5 minute walk to the ocean! There is also a cute little market close by with grocery items, along with coffee and other made to order meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner! We walked the oceanfront many times during our stay! The house was also perfect for our family with a very nice backyard for lounging during the day. We had a fantastic time and hope to return again!

My family stayed for a weekend and really enjoyed the house. With 2 kids (5yo and 19mo), it was nice to have a secured front yard for playing, a high chair, lots of toys and books in the closet, and of course bunk beds. There is good WiFi and Netflix provided on the main TV. Very comfortable furnishings and a well-appointed kitchen.
The surfer in our group could walk 5 minutes to Pleasure Point break, and we made multiple trips to the little market there for coffees and snacks. Quiet neighborhood that is very convenient for lots of Santa Cruz amenities and attractions. Would definitely stay here again!

Perfect home for our family as it provides the coziness we needed as we come from a larger house typically. Makes us want to even downsize our house to something this simple. Backyard was a little “furry” but manageable.
5.0 / 5.0
Location is great. Bikes were awesome. Host was very kind and hands off even with small electrical difficulties. He was super quick to respond. We had a few friends swing by and they want their families to stay here. We’d stay again for sure. Clean, well stocked, great backyard.

Great house and great location! Owner Andy was easy to communicate with and took care of all our needs. Well laid-out home and great yard, plenty of room and very comfortable. Walking distance to cute market with great food and excellent surf spot. My son loved all the kids books and legos at the house. Highly recommended!

Love the house and location. Keeping this on my list of places to go again!
5.0 / 5.0
Everything was as stated and even better! We love the place. The decor was perfect and peaceful much better than other houses in the area. Yes there is a tiny private cottage in the back with its own space and own walkway no privacy issues at all! There are great hedges and a fence that block the view. The outdoor shower had warm water too! We love the place and will go back! Perfect for a family or a couple! Thanks for a great stay!

Positives:

Clean and comfortable.
Great communication with owner!
Areas of improvement:

A very nice place
5.0 / 5.0
We had a great time staying in Aloha House. The home is cozier and better appointed than indicated in the listing. Good kitchen appliances, great outdoor seating for dinner or breakfast, wonderful water pressure!
1.5 miles to Capitola downtown in one direction and 2 miles from the Harbor in the other, well located for everything. Would definitely go back
4.0 / 5.0
Everything was wonderful regarding the Aloha house in Santa Cruz; however, the one complaint we have is the fact that the website does not mention having a bungalow in the back yard that also houses guests. We pulled into the drive way and Andy, the owner, was throwing away trash and at that time informed us that they were staying there. At that point it felt as though he was watching over our up-keeping of their property. Although Andy seemed to have left, another guest arrived the following evening and was not the friendliest. Our kids had enjoyed playing cornhole in the back, but no longer did so as they felt uncomfortable. We now know by reading the renters agreement in far more detail that it states in there that there is a separate property located in the back. My suggestion is for Andy to tell the tenants renting his house that there are guests staying in his bungalow as well.
Everything else was wonderful and we would stay here again!
2.5 / 5.0
Sliders and cabinets (bathroom) need some repair. Great to have access to bikes! Comfy beds.
2.0 / 5.0
Great spot for family to gather for Thanksgiving. Fully equipped kitchen made cooking easy. Forgot eggs and just a one block walk to market! Great location close to beach
