Great location perfect for family

We made a last minute decision for a beach weekend in Santa Cruz . With our 2 kiddos and dog, this was a perfect vacation spot for us. The location was great. We walked to Twin Lakes Beach and Boardwalk, Harbor Cafe, coffee shops and markets. The two bedrooms was perfect to give all of us room for privacy and spreading out. We had one maintenance concern with a leaking shower head spraying on the wall. The service team was not able to fix it during our short stay, but they responded that they will do that right after.

Wonderful gem!

Our family of 3, plus 2 small dogs, had a blast at this cottage. The location cannot be beat (easy walk to the beach), and the cottage was lovely. It had a nicely outfitted kitchen and great sectional for lounging. Relaxing vibe, responsive to our questions - definitely recommend!
