Overall, everything was mostly OK. The oven needs attention. The heat is escaping out of the top- so it causes the inside temp to be 50 to 75 degrees too cold. Especially difficult because (due to COVID) we cooked all meals at the house. Also, the upstairs bathroom sink drained very slow. The stopper was preventing the water from draining, so we removed it. There were lights on the wall in the living room (facing the fireplace) that would not go on. There was a pole lamp in the Master bedroom that should be replaced with something that works and lights the room better. Also, there were only 10 forks total (most were small salad forks). Finally , one of the criteria for choosing this house was the hot tub. When we arrived, there was a small sign noting that we were not allowed to use it due to COVID. ? This made no sense at all to me, but we should have been notified prior to our arrival.

We had a great time at this beach house. It was fully stocked and had all the amenities we could ask for. Beautiful kitchen and architecture in the home. It was really nice not to have to run to the store for paper towels, laundry soap or toilet paper, as they were well stocked. The upstairs and downstairs layout of the house made it comfortable to have family join us on our trip. The location was the best part of the home. Your right down the street from twin lakes beach. Strolls down to the beach after dinners cooking on the grill was our favorite pastime.

Had a wonderful time for our anniversary. Beautiful home, great kitchen. So private yet so close to the beach.

This was our third time staying at this beach house. We love the location and neighborhood. The house is a short walk from the harbor and beach and close to restaurants and shops. This house comfortably accommodates our two families. We love cooking in the bright, airy kitchen and enjoying meals on the deck. We are always sad to say good bye.

We all really enjoyed the house. It was relaxing, walking distance to the beach and fun restaurants and we all enjoyed ourselves very much!!

Perfect location for us. My sister's family of 4 and my family of 4 and our dog loved this spot. The house slept all of us comfortably and we could walk or ride our bikes everywhere. House was clean and all appliances worked. We will be back!

My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay; it was everything and more than we expected. The pictures and description of this home do not do it justice, it's so much nicer inside. We loved the two stories which included the 2 bedrooms and family room downstairs as well as a Master bedroom and Great room for all of us to eat and gather upstairs. The location was amazing, just up the road from the beach where we had a New Years Eve bonfire, and in walking distance to the harbor and the Crows Nest. The home is warm and cozy with a gas/log fire in the living room (the owners had provided the wood), and also has underfloor heating in the bathrooms. We had fun relaxing in hot tub, and there were plenty of towels supplied. We definitely recommend this property. We absolutely loved this home!

Very Nice Home....Great location easy access to Santa Cruz Harbor. Unfortunately home had 8 light bulbs burnt out (unable to change ceiling bulbs)... We were unable to use Jacuzzi due to the very bad chemical smell.(this needs to be addressed very dangerous)... Microwave overheats because its in a non-vented cabinet....Needs to be addressed... The house has radiant heating in the downstairs bedrooms, so if your renting in the winter time---BEWARE.......

This house was just the way it had been described. It was comfortable for our family of six adults and everything worked properly. Because it rained all weekend, we spent a lot of time inside. The kitchen had everything we needed in order to cook and we ate in the house for all but one meal during our two day stay. Thanks for accommodating our pet request!

Great house, perfect location, tons of amenities, and close to everything. We had plenty of space to spread out, wonderful family vacation and our dog gives it 2 paws up!

This is a lovely, well kept home in a lovely neighborhood. Twin Lakes beach is a short walk away. Wonderful!

Lovely, well equipped house in a great location. Upstairs living area is bright and airy. Kitchen was well equipped and stocked with condiments and basic foods which was really helpful and nice toiletries in all the bathrooms. As a family with young children we were particularly impressed with the little additional kids bits - a fold up booster seat for our infant to sit in while eating, the stair gate, fold up travel cot was perfect, even some plastic beakers, sippy cups spoons and plates, great! Extras outside like buckets and spades, BBQ, body boards and the kids enjoyed the hot tub. Downstairs space is a little more difficult to understand we didn't spend anytime down there really, but the bedrooms were flexible enough for us to set things up the way we needed to suit our family (2 adults, 1 infant and 2 young boys). We really enjoyed our stay, so close to the beach, the boardwalk and everything we needed, Harbour cafe was nice, I enjoyed running around the marina to the lighthouse.

This home was perfectly sized for my five friends and myself-- there was ample space for us to each have a bed of our own without feeling like we were on top of one another. The location is wonderful, close to town but quiet, with beautiful scenery a quick walk away. We weren't able to enjoy the hot tub because the chlorine was so strong that it was physically uncomfortable, but this may have been due to it being freshly re-chlorinated. We didn't give it another chance simply because we ran out of time, but perhaps it would have been better after "breathing" for a bit.

We rented this home for a family reunion weekend and had four couples there for two nights. The good thins are: clear communication from the property manager, location a few blocks walk from the beach and the bathrooms and kitchen were clean. The things that we found problematic were the location of the two bathrooms for eight adults. One is in a master suite so six people were effectively sharing the other. The other is the home and it’s plumbing need repair; sinks do not drain, upper shower didn’t drain, toilet upstairs had trouble flushing etc. we communicated these concerns to the property manager as well as the fact that the upstairs windows are inoperable. Bed linens are very tired but there are plenty of them. There are boogie boards to borrow. If they fixed the windows and the plumbing I would recommend this home for a family with children but it isn’t set up for eight adults. There are two separate bedrooms and one garage conversion has a twin and a trundle on springs. The fourth couple had to use a futon.

Great house for a family or to have a gathering. The kitchen was well stocked and there were lots of towels and extra blankets. The location was great, a short walk to the beach and short drive to the boardwalk and shopping district. We had a great visit!.

S o pleasant, well-equipped and an overall great place!

Comfortable. Good location.

The house was exactly what we wanted for our vacation in Santa Cruz. Roomy enough for everyone to have their own space, but comfy and cute so it felt like home. I hope we can stay again in the future.

The house was the perfect space for us to stay for the long weekend! It was a great size, very airy, and in just the right location for us. I would definitely stay here again!

The home was great. Nice, quiet neighborhood and a quick walk to the beach or harbor restaurants.

Loved it!

We really enjoyed our time in Santa Cruz. The house is super clean, with lots of space and walking distance to anything you might need.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay for 2 kids and 4 adults at this cozy home last week. It is a comfortable, well stocked and well cared for home that anyone would be lucky to stay in. We plan to return!
