We recently stayed at Liz’s beach house in Santa Cruz, and it exceeded all our expectations. The location is unbeatable—just steps away from West Cliff Drive with a stunning ocean view that you can enjoy right from the living room. The house itself was clean, well-maintained, and thoughtfully stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The spacious layout was perfect, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the coastal vibe. We especially loved the bedrooms and the aquatic décor (think fish!). The beds were cozy, providing a great night’s sleep.
The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals. We do recommend getting some ketchup for all the good seafood and french fries as that was the only condiment that was missing!
The only minor issue we encountered was the Wi-Fi connection, which was a bit slow and intermittent at times. It was a very minor inconvenience, but it’s worth noting if high speed reliable internet is essential for your stay.
Overall, this beach house is a fantastic choice for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty of Santa Cruz. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others!

We were visiting Santa Cruz with teens and grandparents for a week-long family vacation and surf trip. We LOVED this house and its location. Right on the bluffs, with beautiful walking paths and surf spots right out the front door. Lots of space to gather for meals and games. Probably our favorite vacation rental ever. Will certainly be back next year. House was exactly as described, communication with the hosts easy. Could have hoped for better.

My family enjoyed the house & our vacation. The kids like having their own space and enjoyed playing ping-pong in the garage. The house had everything we needed for our 6 days there. Thank you!

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Liz’s oceanview house on West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz for a girls' birthday weekend celebration, and it was truly a memorable experience.
From the moment we stepped inside, we were impressed by the charm and comfort of the house. The interior was tastefully decorated, creating a cozy and welcoming atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. The beds were exceptionally comfortable, providing us with a restful night's sleep after our days of exploration and celebration.
But perhaps the highlight of our stay was the breathtaking ocean view. Waking up to the sight of the Pacific Ocean stretching out before us was simply magical. Whether we were enjoying morning coffee on the porch or unwinding in the evening the panoramic vista never failed to captivate us.
Even the rainy weather on Saturday couldn't dampen our spirits. In fact, watching the raindrops dance on the waves only added to the cozy ambiance of the house, making it the perfect excuse to curl up indoors and enjoy each other's company.
Overall, our stay at this oceanview house on West Cliff Drive met all of our expectations. It provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable birthday celebration with friends, offering comfort, charm, and an unbeatable view. We're already dreaming of our next visit!

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! You can take walks along the ocean cliff both during the day and at night, when you can listen to relaxing sounds of crashing waves. The house is a bit on the older side but the views cannot be beat. The house is also very close to many great coffee shops with locally roasted beans.

If you are looking to wake up to a gorgeous view and feel the waves crashing then look no further. Perfect for a family -- the bedrooms are located towards the back of the home in a quiet neighborhood. We got to skip the long parking lines to get into the Natural Bridges state beach to see the Monarchs on their way south. Part of West Cliff Dr is washed out but makes for a great walking path to the Lighthouse park. Short drive to get coffee and breakfast from Cat and Cloud. Did the boardwalk in the evening -- plenty of games and amusements for all.

The location is AMAZING! The ocean view cannot be beat. The bedrooms were cozy and provided a peaceful night's sleep, and waking up to the sound of waves crashing was a true delight. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals. We didn't spend much time at the home, but the time we did was comfortable & cozy.

Beautiful house with tasteful beach decor. Large dining table, bar stools, and plenty of seating throughout the home. Ultra-comfortable sectional with reclining chairs in living room is ideal to enjoy the million dollar view, people watch, read, or visit. Desk and lounge sofa ideally situated in the front window
All rooms feel spacious with plenty of surfaces to organize your belongings. Kitchen is stocked with everything you need to prepare and enjoy your meals.
My mother has trouble with stairs so we appreciated that this house is one level with only a few short steps to enter.
Additional "bedroom" located within the garage is great for more space, although it does not have a bathroom so that could be a consideration for some, but for our group it wasnt a problem. Only other downside was that the entire area has poor cell service, WiFi was great in the house, but does not reach the garage room. Overall, would definitely recommend this property!

Our family enjoyed our stay. The house was clean and well stocked and just as it appeared in the photos. We enjoyed the views from the kitchen and living room. We also loved walking along West Cliff Dr. in both directions. There was a great couch in the living room that fit the whole family. Would love to come back.

The Absolute beach house is absolutely wonderful! We stayed for spring break and had a great time. The home is very clean and comfortable, and exactly as listed and shown in the photos. The location cannot be beat. It was a great opportunity to rest and recharge - we really enjoyed looking out at the bay with an unobstructed view. As noted in previous reviews, the path along the water is high traffic with walkers and runners but we really loved watching the world go by. No issues at all during our stay - away from the touristy spots but close enough to everything. Thanks for a great experience!
