Pictures do not do this house justice. I have stayed in many vrbo/airb&b's and this was hands down my FAVORITE! Not only close to the beach but to shopping and restaurants also. This house has EVERYTHING & feels like home! Truly a hidden secret. Me, my kids & grandkids had plenty of space. The rooms are big & spacious. We had 4 adults, 2 kids & 1 toddler & 1 infant (who stayed at the house) plus my sister who lives in Santa Cruz plus her kids & grandkids visited & that was 5 more adults and 2 more toddlers and we had room to cook & eat & hang out. The backyard is huge and the game room & spa was awesome also. I can not say enough AMAZING things about this house and look forward to staying here again. One one last thing is communication with the host was wonderful! I hope you enjoy your stay as much as i did and I'm looking forward to more memories in this house. 💗

I stayed with my family of 6 adults and grandchildren ages 2, 4 & 6. We all loved it and would definitely stay again. The online description was completely accurate. Plenty to do at the house and lots to do and see nearby.

Capitola Village is walkable, However it is a long walk. There is a beach walk nearby and beautiful views. The neighborhood is great. Overall the house is terrific. I dinged one star due to cleanliness.

Excellent location, surprisingly large property

This is an annual trip for a group of friends. The location is great and convenient. A bit short on the basics - towels, broom. Overall the house was cute and comfortable.

This home was the perfect place for our family. It really has everything you need and very close to everything. The yard was amazing and can walk to the beach. Definitely would recommend.

This house was clean, well equipped, and in a great location! We walked to 41st to shop and eat. There are a lot of fun things to see and do within walking distance. I highly recommend this vacation rental!

Plenty of room and activities.

This is a great house in the Pleasure Point area. Everything was just as listed and we could have spent several days just in the backyard and walking down the street to the ocean. As it was, this was also a good location for us to use as a home base while we visited the San Jose area, Monterey area, Felton, and the more touristy side of Santa Cruz while having a quieter feel like home. Our 3 generations of visitors and dogs really enjoyed it. The street is very quiet in general and I slept better there than at home, wish is saying something. The neighborhood feels very safe and everyone I met in the area treated me like a local, which I appreciate when I travel. One tip for future visitors: unlike a lot of rentals I've used, there were no condiments in the refrigerator and very few spices so make sure to bring your own.

We love the house and location for our teens! Thank you!

This property accommodates large groups quite well. We enjoyed the hot tub & outdoor areas in particular. A few concerns ; The property manager neglected to alert us to the fact that groundskeepers would be there to service the hot tub & move garbage cans out for collection (after ten pm). The five year old in our family alerted us to a “stranger” being in the backyard. These were both huge security and communication lapses. I think you should have enough linens and towels to turn over the house without inconveniencing your guests.

We were concerned about a previous review we read. When we arrived everything was clean and tidy . All appliances and tv's were in working order, beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well outfitted, the wall heater kept us warm. The owner quickly responded to our requests. He even suggested places to visits on our rain drenched days. The kids enjoyed the playhouse in the backyard. The garage had all kinds of beach apparatus . Lovely big back yard with great ping pong table and outdoor fire pit. We would definitely come back again.

This was a great place! It was an easy walk to the beach and downtown area. I’d highly recommend the donut shop 2 blocks away. We all had fun trying to beat each others score on the arcade game. It rained the whole time we were there and it was one of the most fun I e had on a family vacation.

We’ll equipped home, including surf boards and wet suits. Great location, close to the 38th St beach. Santa Cruz is a great town to explore, close to the Redwoods and many beaches.

We rented this property for a family getaway. While the location was lovely, and the setup of the home worked well for our family, we were very disappointed by multiple things: on day 1 the hot tub was not usable due large clumps of hair and dirt (someone did come and clean the hot tub on our second day). While running the dishwasher soon after checkin, it broke and filled the house with a burnt plastic smell, and set off the fire alarms. After removing the melted piece of plastic that had broken off, we found a nearly identical piece near the trash in the yard, which leads me to believe the host was aware that the dishwasher was broken and chose not to fix it. We had to evacuate the house for a few hours due to the smell of burned plastic to allow it to air out. The host did not respond to a message after this happened, so we had to hand wash everything for the rest of the trip. On day 3 when hand washing everything, the plumbing and disposal under the kitchen sink literally fell onto the floor of the under sink cabintet so that the kitchen sink became unusable. While not as horrendous as the dishwasher and sink, it is also worth mention that we did need to clean the kitchen before use on checkin as the cabinets and countertops were sticky. We had to leave early as we needed use of the sink for our baby/ washing bottles, etc. We wrote to the host about this as well and still have not received a response. These were issues that required an immediate remedy and I think we deserve a refund as this is not what we agreed to and paid for. It's very unfortunate because with a little more attention and care this could be a lovely vacation spot, but not if the owner isn't willing to to be responsive and keep the home in proper repairs.
