About this house rental

We are located a short five-minute walk to Twin Lakes Beach, the Yacht Harbor and the iconic Crow’s Nest Restaurant and Gift Shop. This is a great scenic spot for lunch and dinner or for morning coffee and a breakfast burrito at Java Junction and El Palomar. There's no better way to start your day than with fresh air, sand in your toes and an up front view of the crashing waves. Deke’s Market located two doors down is perfect for convenience items and also has a great deli. Drive less than 10-minutes to the super cute Capitola Village beach or take the short drive to the Boardwalk and pier. Our location is excellent for family outings, sailing (Chardonnay & O'Neil), kayaking, stand-up paddling jogging, swimming, body surfing, boogie boarding, volleyball, evening bonfires, and viewing incredible sunsets.

Our remodeled 1930's beach bungalow offers 3 comfy bedrooms, 1 beautiful bath and a state of the art kitchen. The living area is open and spacious and the private backyard is great for BBQ’s, hanging out and sunbathing.

***STUDIO UNIT***
We regularly have 30 day guests such as traveling nurses and other professionals requiring a longer term stay while in Santa Cruz. This type of unit is not unusual in Santa Cruz! Garage conversions have been approved and encouraged by the City of Santa Cruz since the 1980’s as an unconventional approach to the City’s housing shortage. The house, driveway and yard are for our Vacationing Guests ONLY.

2. Busy vibrant street centrally located - easy walk to beach access.

Close to everything. Nicely decorated. Upgraded kitchen and bath. There is an additional studio unit in the lot but it is separated by a fence. We never saw the other renter. Definitely recommend!

This was good place for us to stay in Santa Cruz, not far from the beach. Completely remodeled inside. Full kitchen was helpful for cooking in. We would stay here again!

We had a nice stay in this clean home in an ideal location. The home was as described and the check in and out process was very easy. This was my third time staying in this home and I would do so again.

My family of five (all adults) enjoyed a post-Christmas stay in this home, and it was great in every way. Clean, good deal of space, short walk to the beach, great communication with the owner, and a very short drive to downtown SC and the Boardwalk. Only one bathroom, so some coordination of timing is necessary. My only knock is that is fronts a relatively busy street, and entering/exiting the property during rush hour requires some patience. Otherwise, fantastic!

Everything was as described, and the private back patio was lovely. We liked being able to walk to the Marina and beaches and only a short drive to all the places we needed to go.

We stayed there are a family (2 adults, and a 4 and 7 y/o). The location: Overall, we loved the location. It is a 6 minute walk to the beach and there is a cute little sushi takeout place nearby. We didn't go to the convenience store but that also would have been great for emergency purchases. Walking around the marina is also a lot of fun. The beach is awesome, including the fact that there's a coffee shop and Mexican restaurant right there. We didn't get to try the Crow's Nest but it also seemed like a fun place to go. It is on a pretty busy street, so it will be noisy when you keep the windows open (which is necessary in summer, as the house gets pretty hot during the day). All in all, we liked the neighborhood, as it felt relaxed and not touristy. The house: Functional house, nice little backyard, and plenty of hot water for 4 people showering. We usually needed to open all the windows and doors when we got home to air the house out, as it got considerably warmer than the temperature outside. Sitting in the nice little backyard while the house cooled down was a great way to spend early evenings. Everything was clean and functional with only a few exceptions. The TV would not turn on, seemingly because of a broken remote. The mattress in the back bedroom seemed pretty worn out and would benefit from being replaced. If you have mischievous kids who like to play with door locks, you may want to take extra precautions to prevent them from locking you out of some rooms.
