My daughter and her 4 year-old came from Indiana to visit for a week. The house is charming, immaculate and cozy. It is located literally steps from the nearby beach. My daughter-in-law and her two children could only join us for a day but the kids made the most of being so close to the beaches and near-by Capitola, where the quaint shops and friendly people reminded me of the days I took my children to body surf nearby. We also visited Monterey and Carmel during a couple of the days and left feeling refreshed and with many happy memories. I hope to reserve the house again in the future.

This was a perfect spot for a short getaway. Check in was very easy and the place was more spacious than I had imagined.

This place is great. A short walk to the beach, corner store, and restaurants. Very spacious, you may not think so from the picture of the front but it is!!! Easy check in and great communication. Lots of amenities for the beach and an outdoor shower. Would definitely stay here again!!

This was our first time renting this property, and we’re so glad that we did! Really darling and very well appointed. Plenty of room for our family of four and our dogs. Amazing location – half a block from Black Beach and walking distance to restaurants that we love. Wonderful property manager! Can’t wait to rent it again.

Beautiful,clean, loved the location. Definitely will be back!

Great house for a weekend at the beach on thanksgiving. Cute, clean, fully equipped and proximity to the beach, and restaurants was great.

We've stayed several times at Laurie's home in Santa Cruz. It's cozy, clean and very confortable. We love its proximity to the beach. The communication with Laurie has always been great. Highly recommended. We will be back. Thanks, Laurie!

We love going to Santa Cruz! This house was clean, comfortable and in a great location! We already booked again!

As advertised, would stay again. One note is the BR’s are all up a flight of stairs.

Beautiful house in a lovely neighborhood walking distance to the beach. We had a wonderful time, and hope to stay here again some day.

This house is exactly like the pictures, very clean and comfortable. Located 1/2 block from a very pretty beach. We enjoyed our stay very much.

Second time staying here. We love it.

Location is the best, great little neighborhood, dog friendly beach. Nice house with everything you need. Highly recommend.

Lovely house next to the beach. Nice bedrooms and bathrooms and great beach supplies for use.

We absolutely love this beach house! Dog friendly is a big plus for us. Super clean and kitchen has everything you need. We usually buy fresh fish from local fish market and use grill in backyard. Love all the beach supplies in the garage, chairs, wagon and beach towels came in very handy. Walk just five min to a fabulous dog friendly beach! We will definitely be back again.

The property was amazing! Very clean, and it had everything we needed to have a great time both at the beach and hanging around the house. The check in process was convenient, and the communication with Laurie was great. A plus was the kindness of the neighbor who gave my daughter some great ideas for things to do in town with a toddler! The furniture was cute and comfortable, and the showers were great! Loved the outdoor shower when returning from the beach. Already booked our stay for next year!

The house was very clean and the rooms and beds were comfortable. The kitchen is stocked and room for all 6 of us to enjoy meals and on the patio. Location Location Location, just steps to Twin Lakes at the end of the street and a quaint market just up the street. With the vaulted ceiling in the living-room it gave a much more open feel. We really did enjoy our stay.

Loved the house perfect for our family stay. Steps from the beach amazing weather! We will be back!’😉

Laurie’s beach retreat exceeded our expectations. The listing made it look great but it was even better in person. From the adorable patio with gas grill, to the garage filled with beach towels, sand toys and beach chairs, Laurie thought of everything. We’ve been spending a week in Santa Barbara for the past couple of years but our regular spot was booked. Decided to stay closer to home and chose Santa Cruz. Our kids were bummed, but both said they liked this spot even more. We can’t wait to go back. Thank you, Laurie!

Really great location steps to the beach. The house is not just well equipped but has quality bedding and dishes unusual for a rental. We would definitely return!

Our family of four plus our dog were in Santa Cruz for our daughter’s graduation at UCSC. We stayed for for 3 nights for the occasion. Location was perfect for everything we needed. We had a very busy schedule but did cook a few meals here and we had everything we needed! Beds were comfortable, home is well stocked and super clean.

The property was very clean and was accurately represented on the website. Two minutes from a terrific beach, and the beach toys, chairs and wagon were a huge selling point for us. We have already recommended this property to family and would definitely stay here again.

This house is an epitome of a beach cottage, yet modernized enough to make your stay incredibly comfortable and lovely. It has lots of natural light, and the decor throughout the house adds to the charm of staying near the beach. The kitchen was well stocked, there were lot of books to read and enjoy, puzzles to solve. The layout of the house allows everyone enough room which we really liked. Beds were comfortable, towels were fluffy, and shower pressure was great. :) The location is perfect, it is a quiet residential street ending in a cul-de-sac which is the entrance to the beach. So it literally a minute walk to the beach. Lots of beach gear which kids really appreciated. All in all, it was a true five-star stay. Would be happy to come back again. Really appreciate the hosts' hospitality and generosity.

This was our first time staying on the East side and this was the perfect spot. Close to downtown, Pleasure Point and an easy drive to other spots of interest. The space was exactly what we needed, a solid primary bedroom with en suite and another bedroom for the kid with its own bath. Ample kitchen and relaxing backyard. We’d love to come back again!

wonderful location - we loved being able to walk to the beach, WIndmill Cafe, and the Sunday Farmers Market!

Great location. Very nice property -had a wonderful time

Beautiful property, location is perfect. Just 3 mins walk to beach and being pet friendly, an added plus. Neighborhood was nice and quiet. Super clean and had all the amenities you would need. We loved our stay and will definitely be back.

Lovely spacious house. Was great to have 2 and a half bathrooms with a couple teenagers along. Awesome location less than a block to a beautiful beach in a super cute neighborhood.

Just got home from this gem of a home one block away from one of the many beautiful beaches in SC! We loved the location which is conveniently located walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and shops. The house was the perfect size for our family of four and our dog. The kitchen was a good size and was well stocked with cookware. The enclosed yard space was also useful for our dog. The owner was very easy to work with and provided all the necessary info we needed for a great trip. We’d absolutely would love to stay here again! Thank you!

We loved our stay! What a lovely home and the location was perfect! Can’t wait to book again!

House was at it was listed. The property manager came in a day before we were to check and left after an apology. The kitchen furniture is out door furniture and doesn't belong / fit in the space. Rest of the house was exactly as listed and we enjoyed our stay. The beach is exactly 1/2 block walk and in a good location to Santa Cruz activitities.
