We just had a lovely 8 night stay at this property. The location right on the water can not be beat. It's a cozy house--not super fancy but comfortable and relaxing. We went with our daughter/husband and 11 month baby, who used the mini in-law apartment upstairs, which gave them some privacy and us a break from any middle of the night crying. The only thing to be aware of is that the gas fireplace downstairs is the central heat for that unit downstairs, other than space heaters in the bedrooms. Being right on the water, it does get chilly. This was plenty of heat for the home, but with an 11 month old walking around, it was a little challenging keeping him away from it and something we didn't really consider in terms of the practicality of the space for a busy baby. But we managed and we would definitely go back. It was a great house for us and no one wanted to leave.

Beautiful home, but miss not having a beach.

Fantastic ocean view with big windows. Excellent location, good amenities. However, house much more old and outdated than listing shows and has a bad smell in some rooms.

We loved everything about the house, except the furniture in the living room was very uncomfortable. We lived on the deck during the day, & watched the dolphins play. Thank you to Tara for a fun weekend.

Roomy and nicely appointed. Can't beat the ocean views, close proximity to a couple of beaches and the great neighborhood.

Our stay here was amazing! The location was close to everything! We loved being so close to the water. We slept with the sliding door open to hear the waves at night. The beds were very comfortable especially in the master bedroom. We liked there were so many pillows (both on the beds and on the window seat in the living room) as this made it more comfortable and more like home! We enjoyed gathering outside on the deck to hang out in the evenings and waking up and having breakfast with the amazing view which sometimes included sea lions, seals and birds on water. We loved the extra touches the owners made to make the place feel like home such as the extra bath towels, dish towels, condiments, dishes, soap, laundry detergent, dish soap, blender, toaster, and coffee maker just to name a few. The layout was different with the upstairs being a separate from the downstairs. However, this was fine for our group and we didn't really notice once we got settled. Having the garage to park in was wonderful. The details supplied by the owners made the checking in/out and preparing for the stay easy and smooth. We loved staying here and hope to return in the future.

We had an amazing time ! It was a particular High tide came clear on the main level balcony it was very exciting. Lovely home would love to come back listening to the water was so wonderful ❤️❤️🇺🇸

The views are amazing and tons of space for everyone to get their rest. Amazing location to everything you need for a beach vacation.

Ideal area, away from the crowd but easy to venture out toward the Boardwalk or 41st Ave when you feel like it. Absolutely charming beach house with all the Santa Cruz character and local scene you want to experience and easy access to the more intimate beaches just steps away.

Upstairs bathroom needs repair on floor and door. Location is wonderful. Plenty of parking.

Great location, especially if you’re looking to explore Capitola and some of the nearby Santa Cruz locations. Gorgeous views and sunsets and we enjoyed watching the surfers and sea lions each day. Fully stocked kitchen was great. It worked out great for our visit, but didn’t realize the upstairs bedrooms / living area was accessed through a different entrance. Great for two families traveling together but good to know either way. Comfortable beds and nice amenities. If you’re looking for ocean front, this was lovely.

It is a very nice location with great beach access, waves and views

Property could use an upgrade. Mold and mildew were obvious. Loved watching pelicans and dolphins from window.

The views were amazing, and the short walk to the beach was awesome. The beach toys on site were super nice. That said, we had to wash all of the dishes before using as they were all dirty. We removed our shoes as instructed, but our feet all turned black from walking around the house. The hot water was scalding, so we had to be on high alert with the kids (and the hot and cold water taps were switched upstairs, which made this especially challenging with little kids). We had to buy paper towels, toilet paper and laundry detergent (no way to wash the towels without), but then found the washing machine was broken. The fire place didn't work, and we didn't want to mess with it as it was super dusty, and there was no fire wood for the fire pit outside. The upstairs wall heaters didn't work and had wires hanging out. The microwave was breaking, and dishwasher and fridge were super rusted out. We tried contacting property management, but received no response.

We really enjoyed the location. So easy to walk to the beach. We were loaded with beach toys, boards, towels and the provided at the property Dined on the patio most evenings at sunset. Just gorgeous! Loved our stay !

What you get with this rental is a great view. But I was otherwise slightly disappointed. The dishwasher and refrigerator need to be updated or fixed. The cooking pans -- very old ruined non-stick pans-- need to be replaced. The cooking knives, although plentiful, don't cut anything but warm butter. ( I exaggerate, but you get the gist.) The bunk beds are in a very small closet -- I feel that calling it a room with a curtain door is a misrepresentation. This is really a 3 bedroom unit with other beds curtained off. It is a very funky beach house. I don't mind funky, but for the money, there needs to be some better amenities. The bedroom situation really did put me off. If you don't plan on doing much cooking and you need only 3 bedrooms, this might be a good place for you. It is nice to be able to walk to the beach and to watch the surfers at Pleasure Point.

We stayed for three days and enjoyed being able to walk right down the street to the beach. House was large enough for eight of us, ages 7 - 76. From the deck we could see the occasional otter and seal. The view was beautiful. Echoing what others have said, updating the fridge and dishwasher would improve the kitchen. The washing machine is new and more energy efficient. We had a nice family time there, and would return.

Not totally happy. Cleaning crew was there way after 4:00 checking. They hosed the drive way and walk and that created mud. Fridge door rails missing or broken (patched with duct tape) along with missing one or two shelves and light was out. Dishwasher wheel missing making it almost fall out. Master bath shower needs replacement and the sink clogged up. Some sort of bilge pump runs all night outside the master bedroom. Recliner stopped working when it was 1/2 out, couldn’t make it go in or out. Called initially on the cleanup crew, left a message, never received a return call. For the money, we expected more. Probably would not recommend to family or friends.

It was so nice on the patio watching the waves crash into the rocks. Nice home. Good communication.
