I have never stayed in such a dirty property! Food on the doors of the cabinets in the kitchen. Dishes needed to be washed to be used. Dishwasher is probably 30 to 40 years old. Rodent poops in the living room!

Our host’s home was perfect for our family. The location was superb. Our host was very responsive and check in and out was a breeze. Thank you!!!

We loved our stay at this beautiful house! The views of the harbor were amazing and it was in a great location. It was perfect for our family vacation! I wish we had stayed longer.

I took some family members to this property to celebrate my 35th birthday and it was absolutely beautiful. Centrally located with a ton of great places to walk to. Kirk and Diana were so easy to communicate with and their check-in instructions were easy to follow! The photos of this home do not compare to seeing this property in person, beautiful view, lots of space (11 in our group), clean and comfy! We can not wait to plan another trip at “The Harbor House”

The view of the boats from the kitchen is so beautiful! We enjoyed our get together immensely! The parking is the best we have ever had in a Santa Cruz while renting homes! Thank you for sharing your home with our family. Gratefully, Carole Kraftschik and Family

We would stay again for sure

The best way to describe our stay at this property is by listing pros and cons. The location was very good, within walking distance to Seabright Beach and local eateries. The deck off the main floor provided good seating and space for enjoying the water view. The good sized great room was bright with ample seating in the dining area and at the kitchen counter. The upstairs bedroom with en-suite bathroom was comfortable and private. The three queen beds in the house were comfortable. The bathrooms were okay. Parking was ample on the garage driveway. The big disappointment was the strong, damp, musty smell which was very noticeable when we entered the house. It came from the lower level which housed two bedrooms and a sleeping porch. The odor permeated the area where six out of eight people slept and it was not pleasant. The single beds in the sleeping porch were lumpy and extremely uncomfortable. The two lower level bedrooms each had a very small closet which were cluttered with extra pillows and duvets on the floor and shelf, leaving minimal room for clothes. There was mold on the lower level bathroom ceiling. The living room suite needs to be deep cleaned or replaced as the covering was very soiled. A new coffee maker, a tea kettle and decent sized coffee mugs would be good additions in the kitchen. To end on a positive note, the owner was very helpful in promptly returning my call about a garbage issue and sending on an item left behind at the house.

Great house, great location. Had some issues with cleanliness, showers had mold on shower mats and curtains. Informed the owners and they responded right away and said they would take care of the problem.

We had a great week at this wonderful house. Bright and airy, large but cozy. Enough room for 3 generations ( 4 kids ages 7-12, 2 sets of parents and 2 grandfolks) to spread out and/or be together. Pleasant walk to a perfect beach, close enough to the fun boardwalk, within walking distance to good restaurants. We just wonder why we had to supply own towels or pay $100 to have them supplied! We have stayed in perhaps 30 rentals in the past 4 years and NEVER have been asked to do that. Otherwise, no complaints.

We came over to do an ash scattering of my pops at Sea & Stagnaros was just below our place & Aldo’s for breakfast. It couldn’t have been more fabulous & memorable weekend, all rolled into 1 Thanks ever so much 🥰

Everyone enjoyed the place coffee pot downstairs didn't work the front door lock was a bit confusing for some folks.

Our family enjoyed the perfect layout of this house, convenient to everything you’d want to do in Santa Cruz. We will be back next year! :)

10 in our group- fit perfect 😃

The property worked great for our group! The location is great since you can walk to the Crow's Nest and beach. We definitely would stay here again.

This is a great property in a great location. However, after booking the owners contacted me (very promptly) and told me there would be a $10 per person upcharge for towels. For the price of the stay I would have expected there to be towels. It seemed a little nickel and dime to me. We had a problem with the water quality and the owners got right back to me. I would suggest running the water for at least 20 minutes on arrival. The city water guys told us that the water was stagnant and took on color because it hadn't been run in a while. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were very comfortable. The location would easily sleep 9 people. The location is wonderful and it has a great deck.

We had a wonderful time and this property helped with making the weekend amazing. We had 4 adults, (2) 7-year-olds, and (1) 14 year old. There was plenty of space for all of us. The pictures do not do this place justice. It's a very spacious Townhome, with large rooms and bathrooms. Very comfy beds and a very well-stocked kitchen. My only complaint is.... it's time for new knives. The view is breathtaking and its just a few blocks away from the beach. Very well located. We'll be staying here again.

This was our first time staying at this property. It was perfect for 3 couples, with plenty of room both inside and out. We enjoyed spending time on the deck watching the yachts in the harbor. The pictures of the property don’t do it justice, especially the kitchen which was noted as being “small” in several reviews. We found the space was laid out perfectly and really appreciated having a pantry to store food. We are hoping to return again.

This place was perfect for a family get together, lots of space for everyone, great location right near the beach and walking distance to the Boardwalk. The place is a little rough around the edges but perfect for our group.

As the title says, the location is great. It's a short walk to Seabright State Beach ( A better beach than the others nearby.) The neighborhood is upscale. The harbor view is impressive. It's a short drive to the Boardwalk, Municipal Pier, shopping and restaurants. The house is spacious with enough beds and room for our large family. There was plenty of parking available. It has everything we look for when searching for a Christmas holiday rental.

What a fantastic property! Everything we needed or wanted was available, including beach chairs.

Clean, and located within walking distance of Boardwalk, restaurants and shopping.

Check in was easy. Had all the conveniences. Cleanliness was so, so, there was mold on the master bathrooms bathmat. Ran out of toilet paper.. Had to kill 2 black widows. Easy to follow directions for check out and communication with manager was good. Would definately come back.

This was a perfect location for a family trip. Beach was 2 blocks away and the boardwalk was .9 miles. Both an easy walk and left the cars parked. Looking out over the harbor was beautiful and we walked twice down to the light house. Easily accommodated 8 adults and 3 kids. There was even a high chair and pak n play available. Yacht club right next door for some added people watching over the weekend

This property had a great view, location and was roomy and comfortable.

Our family came to Santa Cruz to get away from the heat and enjoy some time together. This house is perfectly located for every activity we wanted. You're within walking distance to the beach, the Boardwalk, and the marina if you wanted to take a charter out for the day. I highly recommend staying here, our family definitely will in the future.

This home is spacious, is in a great location, and has a wonderful view. The owners are very easy to work with and respond quickly to questions or issues. However, there were a few huge issues. The railing on the main deck has deteriorated causing the balusters to fall out. The gaping holes were plenty big enough for a child to fall through, and the drop was more than 15 feet. This was cause for concern since we had three children under the age of 5. Upon arrival at the house we all removed our shoes at the door. Within a short period of time the bottoms of our feet were black. We found a mop, but it was dirtier than the floor, so we proceeded to scrub all the hard-surface floors on our hands and knees. More scrubbing was needed in the kitchen because the surfaces were grimy and sticky. Even though we knew from the pictures and description that the kitchen was small, we were dismayed to find that there was no where to put the food that we brought - the amount was substantial since we weren't planning to dine out during the pandemic. We sought the pantry, only to find it in such disarray that we couldn't use it. Considering these issues and a few other smaller ones (no key in the lock box, trees being removed eliminating our parking area for a day and a half, having to call a plumber, a TV that didn't work), we had hoped for some type of monetary restitution, but none was offered.

nice light and great view of harbor

Easy check in and stay

Seamless rental. Fantastic!

Loved the lay out of the house. Great view of the harbor. Great trip with family and friends

The home was located in a great location. There was enough room for our 8 adults and two kids. However, the home did not provide towels. This was incredibly inconvenient to travel with that many towels as we all were coming from out of state. Also, the hot water in the upstairs sink never worked. Overall, the home met our needs and the location could not have been better.

Excellent!
