My favorite thing about this place was everything that came included for our use: wetsuits and boogie boards for my 8- and 10-year-old sons, beach toys and buckets, 5 beach chairs, Wii with tons of games, batteries of all kinds, books, games, tape, Sharpies, spices, condiments, lots of throw blankets, paper cups, tons of toilet paper, shampoo, etc. Any time I needed something, it was already provided. I especially loved not having to bring our own beach stuff! They seemed to think of everything! It was a great stay!

We loved the size of the house and how accommodating us was for our family. The location was amazing! Very close to beautiful beaches and wonderful food. We really enjoyed our stay and plan on returning.

Another wonderful stay at "Sunshine" Thank you Mike & Donna!

We booked this house for a gymnastics competition that also coincided with my son’s 12th birthday. House was perfect for our family unit and his best friend. Close to everything including the competition, Mystery Spot, and Henry Cowell redwood state park. Weather wasn’t amazing for the beach -it’s March!- but we could walk to the water in short order so I’m looking forward to coming back during beach season! We had a lovely time. Thank you!

We had such a fun time at this place. Our kiddos ended up calling it the “yellow house” and on our way home that’s all they asked about. It was so cute and perfect for our little family. The kids LOVED all the toys and playground in the back. I felt like it was cozy but for sure plenty of space. We will definitely come back in the future!! Thanks Donna and Mike!!

A very attractive house in a quiet neighborhood 2 blocks from the beach. The bedrooms are a bit small but the living room, dining room, and kitchen are spacious.The kitchen is extremely well equipped and there is much beach equipment available. There is a lock with a code so check-in is no problem. We very much enjoyed our stay.

My family and I really enjoyed our stay. The house is great and the location is perfect. It is a short walk to a very nice beach and it was easy to get to-from the places we visited while in Santa Cruz. We’re already considering a return trip!

Wonderful property in a great location. Perfect for a weekend away with family!

This is our third time staying at this property and we absolutely love it. The location is perfect and so is the house. I loved the updates to the guest bathroom as well! It's so close to the beach, has a great backyard for the kids, and is a short drive to the boardwalk and downtown Capitola. When I was having an issue with the door lock, Mike picked up the phone right away and got the lock reset. My kids love coming here and we can't wait to be back again next year. Thank you as always for a wonderful stay!

The house is very kid-friendly with games inside and out and a small play structure with swings in the backyard. We’d happily come back!

Love staying here, our 3rd time. Great location and great backyard for kids

We hope to come back next year!

This property was very clean and well organized. The backyard was great for my 3 boys and the kids room worked really well for us, too. My mom stayed in the upstairs and it was nice for her to have her own space. There were plenty of beach toys and a good variety. We’re hoping to be back next year!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sunshine House. Great location, this part of the Santa Cruz area gets lots of sun. Very easy check in-out process, owners have thought of everything.

Perfect Location 5 min wall from the beach, great farmers market, good restaurants.

As a family with two young kids this house is the perfect spot. Our family loved the yard, proximity to beach, neighborhood and the well stocked house with comfy beds and bunk beds!

We love this house - it's our Santa Cruz happy place! Thanks to Mike and Donna for making it such an easy & lovely experience. We'll be back!

Mike was very gracious in every way, would stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at the Sunshine house! We are a family of five, including a one year-old. This house is in a great location, just a very easy walk down to 14th Street Beach and quick drive to the boardwalk. It was very clean upon arrival. Check-in instructions were detailed and provided a week in advance, which is very much appreciated. The configuration of the home was just perfect for our family - two big boys in the bunk room downstairs, and our baby upstairs. The enclosed back yard was a huge bonus - great to play on the grass, send toys down the slide, and have a glass of wine while the toddler toddled. We will definitely be back if Mike will have our crew again! Thank you for letting us stay at your fantastic, cheerful, and comfortable home.

We really enjoyed our stay! The beach is a short enjoyable walk down the street. The house was very clean and in perfect order. My toddler enjoyed the backyard and great play set! Also very close to the Boardwalk +! One bummer was no king size bed, but I understand the limitations and definitely not a deal breaker for us. We’ll be back!

When we arrived the house was so clean! The bathroom remodel so nice! Whenever we visit it feels like home. Thanks again! Mike & Donna
