Very conducive as a beach house for our family. Plenty of space. Love the upstairs living area with all the amenities! Charmin TP was great! A lot of rentals skimp on paper towns and TP. We even played Bocce Ball outside. Even better locations for the Iron Race the kids participated in.

Our three-household family gathers every August for several days in a nice vacation spot. In the past, we reserved a large cabin at Lake Tahoe. This year, we decided to spend a week near beaches in Santa Cruz. The house on W. Cliff Drive was perfect for us. We'll have to do it again someday.

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.
