Easy check in, keyless entry. This house may not be that big but the layout was great. The kitchen has been updated and new appliances but I couldn't find where to put the silverware in the dishwasher (hint: there's a pullout shelf on top). They could use some plastic glasses for outside use and new ice trays. Seating for 5 at the dining table and seating for 4 on back patio. We had inconsistent wifi, unfortunately, but the rental agency was working to get it fixed. The bed in the middle bedroom was creaky and the bed frame was falling apart so hopefully that gets fixed. My daughter and SIL had to put the mattress on the floor to get a good night's sleep. The main bed fitted sheet had no elastic so that was annoying. The hot tub was great with access thru the main bedroom and by the front steps. The outside shower has easy access AND hot water! Plenty of parking (a rarity in Santa Cruz). The location is excellent and a 5 minute walk to a nice beach (Moran Beach) and a 10 minute walk to Pleasure Point. There were 4 new beach chairs but bring your own kid toys. The house is at the end of a street and very quiet. This is our third year renting in Santa Cruz and we plan on staying here again.

Two minute walk to a lovely beach!

The Heron House was wonderful. It’s in a great location. The little beach had lots of treasures and the hot tub was lovely. We’ll be back!

We spent the holiday break here and experienced the winter storm that produced 30 foot waves. It was nice to sit in the hot tub while watching the weather and waves rush onto the beach from a safe distance. It was a relaxing and eventful stay.

We LOVED this house! It is actually next door to one we rented several years back. The location is amazing. You can walk right out to the beach for a walk during low tide. You can walk up into the neighborhood on the left and stroll all along Pleasure point on the path and watch the surfers. You can even walk to shopping and breakfast. The house is mostly updated and very lovely. Really enjoyed our time here and hope to come again!

My family and I enjoyed our stay. The location was decent and close to the beach. But we had to walk through an area with

This place was great. We didn't have the best weather, but that was expected early Feb. This place would be PERFECT during the summer. Check in was super easy. Everything was as it was supposed to be. THANKS!

The property is clean, quiet- end of the block, plenty of parking and the hot tub and deck super as we enjoyed the good weather and sun. The backyard has a bbq and bbq table and chairs if too windy. The living-room furniture is comfortable along with the beds. The rooms get a bit light in the morning if you want to sleep late- but that depends on the time of year and weather. Next time I will bring a dark sheet and throw it over the curtain rod. We will return because the surfers in the family liked the location and closeness to spots they enjoyed. The kids played ball in the huge driveway. Everyone wanted to stay an extra day-so next time.
