The place is outdated as seen on photos and reviews but I don’t have a complaint with it, except the poor shower drain of the master bedroom. The supplies were enough and we found everything we needed. There’s a stairway to the private beach at the end of 12th. (One street next) which we went down everyday for walks. Loved the fact that there are so many lights and details to feel at home. I would definitely come back and recommend to my friends.

While fleeing a domestic abuse situation, the staff at Beachnest was so caring and helpful. The property was just what I needed. Spotlessly clean, with PLENTY of Beachnest's signature excellent linens and bedding. This property has a $10 million view, and an amazing deck to enjoy it from. The interior is dated, to be sure, but it is VERY comfortable and "homey". I really enjoy being here. It's also VERY secure, almost fortress like. Close to literally everything you want in Santa Cruz.

Great Location, and it ends there

Great Location, and it ends there

Location close to beaches, restaurants, and harbor. Fabulous Views. Charming decor features inside. Unfortunately, a long list of maintenance issues for both bathrooms, kitchen, electrical fixtures, and furnishings. Cooking and washing appliances were grungy. Mold is evident inside. Covid protocols outlined in manager's literature were not adhered to. Bath Towels were white, lush, and very clean. Soaps, Shampoos, TP, Paper Towels, et al provided. Small appliances functioned well. Outside had an abundance of dog pooh in the yard; the deck furniture was very dirty; and the deck had lots of cobwebs and dead plants in the boxes. Management company came during our stay and cleaned up the dog pooh.

We had a great weekend visit with our teens and our dog. We enjoyed walking ... to the beach and to get takeout. The beds were comfortable and we were surprised by the lovely espresso machine in the kitchen. Next time we will bring espresso beans!

All about the location and deck

All about the location and deck

House has a wonderful view, deck and great room. The kitchen is big but the tools are old. The whole place could use updating (bathrooms etc) but it was charming in a lived-in beach house sort of way :) The location is fantastic - easy access to the beach - only downside of the deck was significant traffic noise from E Cliff just below you.

Fantastic views. Stunning deck overlooking lagoon and ocean. Master bed is very comfortable. House needs to be total facelift. Kitchen and bathrooms need to be gutted and made new. Ants were a big problem also. If some updates were done we would totally go back for that view.

My family and I really enjoy our stay in this cottage. The extra precautions that they took with professional laundring the towels, and bedding as well as the deep desinfecting and cleaning, gave us peace of mind during our visit. It was so relaxing and we enjoyed the short walk to the beach as well as sitting on the deck watching the sunrise and sunset, what a beautiful view!

A pleasant Thanksgiving

Came down for Thanksgiving-house is very comfortable for four and has a great ocean view from the deck. Not sure how suitable the house would be for young children but it was fine for four adults.

Good location for beaches

Good location for beaches

We loved the location close to local beaches where we could take our dog. The deck is fabulous and the bedrooms are comfortable. Some of the utensils in the kitchen were a little ancient and more information about local parking would be helpful as the cottage only has two spaces available and local streets are mostly permit only. It's not obvious from the photos but there is a road between the cottage and the lagoon.

Great views and easy access to beaches but the house needs some TLC. Only four plates in the kitchen, and the shower heads hit you in the middle of your back because they are so low.

This property had a wonderful deck with a grill and beautiful view. Once block from a great kid and dog friendly beach made it perfect for us! The house had plenty of seating for guests and lots of kitchen accessories for cooking and eating in. Minor suggestions would be to upgrade the pots and pans and the showers as well as add blackout curtains in the bedrooms. Great beach cottage, would love to go back!

We very much enjoyed our stay at the sunset cottage. The accommodations were comfortable although a bit outdated. We walked to the beach and out to lunch at the Crow's Nest. Weather was nice, even in February! We will definitely return!

Cozy Cottage Feel

Cozy Cottage Feel

This is a very unique property. The views and location are quite nice. The house itself felt like we had stepped back in time to the 1950's or at least what I imagine the 1950's felt like given that it's a bit before my time. It was charming and was perfect for our Christmas holiday. The pots and pans in the kitchen should be updated as well as the linens but overall the charm of the house made up for these shortcomings. The rental agency is very responsive and helpful. They had a nice dried fruit tray waiting for us upon arrival which was a nice touch. We ended up extending our stay by an extra night once we learned it was available and they were very helpful in making this happen. Overall, a very nice stay with the appropriate expectations. I would rent this property again.
