Perfect stay for our family of 4 and our dog. House is well appointed with all essentials cooking, paper products and soaps. Large bedrooms, outdoor bbq’s, beach chairs, boogie boards and ping pong table. Views are amazing and walking to all the beaches are easy. We brought our bikes and had endless rides!
10.0 / 10.0
We had a terrific week in Santa Cruz. The house was perfect for a family of 5 with a well stocked kitchen and a comfortable living room and dining area. We loved the location, directly across the street from the ocean. We loved taking long walks along the coast into Santa Cruz and to Natural Bridges State Park! Our hosts were great and very responsive. We would definitely stay again!

Super comfortable, and well appointed, spot ideally located on West Cliff Drive. We enjoyed a wonderful 6 night stay, and everything was perfect for myself, husband, adult children and terrier pup! Would come back again in a minute!

Perfect way to celebrate a wedding anniversary! Excellent location, bringing back memories of having lived in Santa Cruz and roaming West Cliff over the decades. So lovely to see old friends and be at the heart of one of the most beautiful settings on the Santa Cruz coast.

Karrie and Matt were great hosts. I booked on short notice and they were quick to respond. The view from the living room and front patio was amazing. Right across the street from the front door is a fantastic walking path along the ocean cliffs. The house is clean, well equipped and has a king size bed in every bedroom. If I am in the area again, I would love to stay here.

Great house to stay at for a long weekend getaway! Very comfortable and had everything we needed for a relaxing weekend. Really enjoyed spending time out front people watching and and it was nice to be able to hang out with the pups on in the courtyard. Easy walk to see things in each direction and great location to restaurants and breweries. Would definitely stay here again!

Our family had a wonderful time here in Santa Cruz. The ocean views are amazing and we loved walking the path across the street with our dogs. This home was perfect for our family getaway and necessary "Vitamin Sea"
10.0 / 10.0
We had a fantastic time. The view of the water was a treat. It was wonderfully convenient to step out the door and to be right on W Cliff Drive, where we could do beautiful walks in either direction. The house met all our needs and was perfectly quiet. Highly recommend.

Amazing location and view of the water! Everything we needed for a family of 6, will come back!

We loved the location of this property. You can walk out the front door and be right at a great walking path along the bay. It was quiet, too. Kitchen and bathrooms are dated but functional. Strong smell of disinfectant greets on entry and kitchen could have been cleaner, but I wouldn't trade those for the location. It worked great for our 5 sisters reunion.
10.0 / 10.0
Our suite was huge and even had porcelain dishes! The option to BBQ in the outdoor courtyard is a nice extra too. Bed was comfy and the room very quiet. Lots of choices for breakfast. Friendly and helpful staff.

Not on beach, on cliff
The house was as described, very nice. Back yard patio was lovely and clean. However the idea that it was on the 'beach' not accurate nor was the beautiful picture of the beach that one would be lead to believe was across the street from the house. The house is on West Cliff Dr., emphasis on Cliff. To get to a beach that is easily accessible is Natural Bridges at least 1/2 mile. It is noisy from traffic all the time, very busy corner with stop signs, perfect for revving engines of bikes.

Super nice hosts, perfect home, & great location! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would love to come back again :)

Mid-century charm on the Pacific
Bright, spacious, well-equipped property on west cliff. The view from the living room and porch is stunning. I like older homes and this is a nice example with all the amenities.
Coming from out of the area the time restricted check-in process was a bit tedious. Also, when they say 10am check-out, they mean it. The early (to me anyway) check-out time is in the contract, but if you like to slow roll your last day of vacation like we do, it might be worth working with the owners on a later time. West Cliff Drive is a busy street, but Santa Cruz is an active beach town, not a secluded north coast enclave. I would recommend this property for multiple couples looking for a house with space to spread out, cook some meals, and split rental costs.

Cute House in a Great Location
My family and I had a very nice stay. The house is very comfortable and the views are amazing. The central courtyard is charming and great for outside meals. The location is extremely convenient. It is a short walk to beautiful beaches, breweries, coffee shops, and wineries. The detached garage makes parking a breeze. We hope to visit again soon!

Fantastic Location with ocean view
My family had a great time at Karri and Matt’s place.
The location was fantastic with the big front windows on the ocean from the living room and great front patio.
The bedrooms were comfortable and spacious. The kitchen had everything we needed.
Karri was rightly cautious yet open to us bringing our dogs. Being able to bring them mad the trip more enjoyable.
The next time I go to Santa Cruz, I’d definitely stay there again and definitely recommend it.

This was a really awesome house. Really comfortable for 6! I wish it had a been a bit warmer so we could have enjoyed the amazing front patio and back patio. It was close to everything and the walk along the ocean, either way you chose, was beautiful!

An Excellent Rental, Wonderful Owners
This is an absolutely amazing rental. First of all, the owners are very responsive. At check in, I met with Matt, one of the owners. He took time to explain everything I would need to know about the house. He was kind and considerate of my questions. The property is exactly as pictured. I was amazed with the high quality of furniture (lovely leather couches and recliners in the living room ) through out the house for a beach rental. They allowed us to bring our dog and their requirements for bringing our dog were easy to abide by. The kitchen was full of equipment that we would need and Matt had made sure to bring an item I had requested. The heating thermostat was located in the living room and we were able to adjust it. The wonderful separate "in law suite had it's own heating system. The enclosed was absolutely lovely. The BEST part of this rental is it's LOCATION!! Every moring, we'd have our coffee in those comfy leather couches and stare at the ocean, literally across the street. Then, we'd cross the street from our rental, and we'd walk for miles on the coastal sidewalk that went for several miles north and south. We were a mile from Natural Bridges north and 1.4 miles from Steamer's Lane where all the surfers would ride the waves from dawn to dusk. We will certainly return to this wonderful home.
