Santa Cruz get away

Cute cottage in a quiet area within east access to beaches. Good communication with the property owner. Would be nice to upgrade the TV even though that isn’t why I came to Santa Cruz.

Waste of Money

The best thing I can say about this place is that it has good water pressure and hot water. After that it's all down hill. It is definitely NOT for 4 or 6 people, it is only suitable for 2. The door to the 2nd bedroom only opens half way because the bed is in the way. The sagging, lumpy hide-a-bed couch may have been comfortable in 1962 when it was new but it is Well Past is "use by" date. Coffee maker but No microwave. Bathroom mirror is not above sink but BEHIND you so men who shave turn 180 degrees back & forth to shave. More than half the windows need a trick to either open or close. NOT ONE chair to sit in comfortably, only lumpy couch & wooden straight back dining rm chairs. Our friends chose to go to a hotel rather than stay there. This place may work for surfers living out of their backpacks but for mature adults who travel with luggage and want comfort, keep looking elsewhere

Family friendly Beach House

Great for the family to relax without worrying. The large hammock was a favorite with the little ones. We'll keep this property on our list of places to return.

Christmas in Santa Cruz

Leslie is a gracious hostess, responsive to our many questions and needs, and her house is well-appointed, comfortable, and exactly as pictured. We enjoyed spending the holidays in Pleasure Point, an easy mile walk to the beach and situated halfway between downtown Capitola and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
