Great times in a great location!

We were able to walk to just about anything we wanted. The house was well supplied and comfortable. Perhaps some mirrors in the bedrooms so you could finish getting ready in your room instead of tying up the bathroom Other than that - perfect

This property suited my friend and I. Easy to walk to all parts of Santa Cruz and we used the hot tub every day. Weather not kind enough to encourage us into the sea or to use the outside space as much as we would have liked but excellent to have all of the equipment to hand. Kitchen well equipped, TV resource excellent and beds big and comfortable. Only not so positive feedback is the property would benefit from a paint refresh and new curtains to make it perfect but these are small details overall. Many thanks to our hosts!

The Cabana was perfect for our group of 5. Walking or riding distance to everything, great yard for our bigger group of sons. We slept very well, quiet neighborhood at night, except for us probably! Great spaces for parking and leaving car. It has all amenities needed for cooking at home, beautiful stove btw! The owners are very thoughtful of their guests and what would be needed for a comfortable stay. The cabana is just like the homes here in Ventura county in our beach neighborhoods so it was very comparable and we felt very much at home. Thank you so much for everything and hopefully stay there again in November! Oh and the Giant Redwood tree in the back, just amazing, as that is one old tree we do not get down here.

Good home was as described, backyard was very nice and the extra little hangout house was a bonus. Only two things about the home i would recommend would be too get the jets on the hot tub fixed, they did not have very much pressure coming out of them. Another one for a family with girls, have another big mirror or 2 in the home or bedrooms. When all the girls were trying to get into the bathroom for the mirror, can get a little crazy..lol. Another thing for people to be aware of is the homeless issue in the area. This is not About the home, but the area. Like most cities in Cali, this is becoming an issue. We felt fairly safe walking around during the day, but would not recommend walking at night. We liked this spot for the location to the boardwalk. Ultimately i ended up workingout in the a.m. and going and parking the car by the boardwalk and walking back. This way we had it to drive back at night.

My daughter-in-law and grandchildren stayed in this cute cottage for 2-nights end of July to enjoy summer activities at the Boardwalk before they went back to school. The cabana is cute and the backyard is huge with lots of activities. The inside is a little tight, but we didn't spend too much time there as we were at the beach/Boardwalk most of the time. Do be careful about the following as we were charged an extra $100: ensure you place garbage in the correct containers (we were charged for putting garbage in the refuse container ((which was not labeled)) because the owner claimed he had to empty it out and put in correct receptacle; we were charged for a broken food scrap container (?? not even sure what that is and where it was located); we were charged for sand and wood chips in the hot tub (not sure how/why for this as the last time I/kids were in hot tub, night before check-out, it was clean). It's my belief there will be a little sand in the hot tub after using as your feet will get dirty walking from the shower to the hot tub naturally, but that's just my common sense. Owner claimed he had to totally drain and refill hot tub. I find that hard to believe, but nothing I could do about a he said/she said issue. Other than the unexpected charge, we enjoyed the few days we had in Santa Cruz, however I probably wouldn't stay in this unit again due to the issues with the owner. There are many other properties available to rent.

Wonderful place to stay in a central location in Santa Cruz. We stayed there with our 3 kids, and even though we thought it would be small, it actually was perfect for us. The yard/hot tub/beach supplies are excellent amenities, and we could easily walk the half mile to the beach with their wagon pulling our stuff. Easy walking to lots of dinner and shopping options. Really great place for a weekend in Santa Cruz - would definitely do it again!

The Cabana is so cute! It is small but but they use the space very well & they have everything you need. The backyard is like the photos. We were there on 4th of July weekend so we used the bicycles to get around instead of driving. You can walk to anywhere you need. Easier to bicycle to the Boardwalk. I would stay there again.

Great rental for the price! The house is cute and the yard, jacuzzi, little play room, etc was awesome. There were just a few tiny things like the house could use a little more love and attention but very minor in respect. We really loved being at this rental!

Our family had a wonderful stay! The location provided easy access to shops, theaters and restaurants. It was also just a short walk to the beach and boardwalk. The backyard was a huge bonus - with plenty of space to stretch out, dine, play, and enjoy the weather.

We loved our stay at the Cabana! We are from MD & have never traveled to CA before. This was a stop on our bigger CA road-trip and it kicked off our vacation in such a special way! We loved the house & the backyard is an oasis! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Great stay. Thanks again

We loved loved the stay. The only issue was the living room TV did not work properly.

We had a great time at this property, the house and backyard were perfect for our stay. Location was key, right downtown and walking distance to the beach.

Love this spot. Two bedrooms with the most comfortable beds, fully equipped kitchen and a back yard with a hot tub. What more could you ask for? Short walk to the beach and boardwalk. Property owner was great to work with and very responsive. A great stay at a great place. We hope to be back soon!

We came in to town to go to a concert at the Caralyst. This property is greatly located and walking distance to everything in downtown Santa Cruz. Including all boardwalk activities. We had trouble with the Spa and Paul contacted us immediately and provided assistance. I would highly recommend this property, location, location, location. It has a great entertainment background as well and I want to go back during warmer weather. Would be legit. Big enough for a couple or 2 or small family.

Incredible location - easy, 10-15 min, walk to downtown and the wharf. House is small but cozy. Backyard is an oasis. Owners are helpful and responsive. 10/10 would stay again.

The house was just the right size with two bedrooms and a bath. The location was also perfect. Host made it easy to check in and use the property. Hot tub was great. Property very clean. Bedding was high quality.

We loved walking to downtown, it was so convenient! It was raining so we didn’t go in the hot tub much, but it was a good temp. Backyard is cool and the game room was nice. Had a lovely stay.

Paul went above and beyond. We traveled to Santa Cruz when a big storm was coming in and Paul texted me to let me know he was happy to refund us if we wanted to cancel, even though we were already en route. The place was amazing and we ended up having a great time, even with the rain

This is such a cute little spot. My 3 kids and I stayed for Black Friday to Sunday. Walking distance to everything. the beach, the shops and the Warriors!! we did it all! it was such a delight, and when one of the kids wanted to head back, that was no problem!! Safe neighborhood, friendly neighbors. It was a good experience, thanks for sharing your home.

Our vacation was busy but at the end of the day looked forward to coming “home” to cook, soak in the hot tub and wind down. We had an issue with someone blocking our spot to park and the host handled it promptly!

We loved our stay in this little cottage! We rode the bikes daily to the beach and rode the beach board walk; so fun! Two of the group members tried surfing for the first time, so it was nice to have a couple of surfboards to use from the shed, Great location! Clean home and the backyard was a beautiful oasis to spend family time! I highly recommend this VRBO!

The photos make this space look more new and spacious than it actually is. I never write poor reviews, but I was shocked when we opened the door to this place. When we arrived, the house reeked of cleaning products along with a musty, old smell that never went away. Despite new appliances, the kitchen appeared decades old, and the entire house had peeling paint, dirty walls, and grime in all the corners and windows. For this price point, I was expecting much more. The kitchen is sparse. The heating system leaves much to be desired, with odd fake fireplaces with colored images that could not be turned off and a tiny vent to release hot air. The hot tub would not heat past 102 on the first day and finally went to 104 our second night. I came with my partner and toddler for a weekend get-away and was highly disappointed.

Loved the proximity to DT Santa Cruz and boardwalk and the privacy of the backyard. Would definitely stay here again.

Cute little cottage near everything! It was so nice not to have to worry about parking. Boardwalk and restaurants all within walking distance. My grandsons loved the foosball table.

This little cutie dazzled any visitors. The house itself is on the small size but the back yard makes up for it. Paul and Kate provided so many amenities to make a Santa Cruz visit memorable. We had bikes, games, surfboards and a hot tub to make our visit so much fun. The backyard space and cabana are wonderful. Thank you Paul and Kate.

A nice small bungalow that is close to many great activities.

Great spot for walking or biking to beach access and downtown Santa Cruz The home is small but has everything you need!!

Great location. Enjoyed having the hot tub and yard. Property itself is a little run down.
