Everything about our stay was absolutely perfect! Location, host/communication, comfort, peaceful- everything you want from a property! We truly enjoyed our stay & look forward to a return soon!
The house was cute, clean and very close to the beach. We loved having the hot tub to enjoy in the evening as well. It was a perfect getaway and we would definitely stay there again.
Beautiful cottage! Comfortable & clean. Great location close to Twin Lakes beach & harbor. Backyard was great for our dog. Communication with host was excellent.
Super clean and great location! Very cozy home that matched the photos and listing perfectly. Host was helpful and check in was easy. Had a great trip with my husband and two kids and would love to stay here again!
Love the quiet eclectic beach cottage. We’ve rented several in Santa Cruz and this is our new favorite. Hope to return soon John & Dana Concord Ca Had a great 40th anniversary
This place was so awesome that I had the urge to gate keep so I can rent it again in the future! It was even better than the photos, perfect for our small family. I love the outdoor area and the indoor was beautifully decorated with all of the necessary appliances, towels, pillows…everything. It was an easy walk to the beach as well. The neighborhood was peaceful too. Might be my favorite vacation rental ever! The hosts were very responsive to every question as well. SO GOOD.
Eileen & Jason are super responsive and proactive in their communications. The cottage is adorable and so very peaceful. We found it very clean. There is a coffee/sandwich place a block away, a bar/restaurant a short walk away, and the beach, along with another restaurant and coffee/breakfast place a ten minute walk away. So convenient! Check in/out was super easy. If we return to Santa Cruz we’ll be sure to stay here again.
Awesome spot for family and pets. Backyard was great! Location was 10 min from the beach and restaurants. Easy drive to downtown Santa Cruz. Had a great stay. Great communication with hosts!
We throughly enjoyed this quaint home close to the beach. It had everything we could have needed. The yard was great for the time we spent not at the beach or exploring Santa Cruz.
Adorable 1930s home. Decorated perfectly. Great hot tub. Great host communication. So clean! Kitchen had coffee and easy to get to supplies. We loved the backyard. Amazing location! Beach, Cute Café and restaurants. Little adorable market. Easy walk to the harbor. Everything was perfect. We totally want to return. !!!
We enjoyed our stay in the cottage, close to the beach and with a nice backyard for relaxing.The kitchen is compact but has everything you need. Great for the two of us to explore Santa Cruz area.
very clean and neat. Well equipped galley style kitchen. The outside living space was beautiful and very private. It is an older home but well maintained. Good location with good resturants within walking distance. Really enjoyed our stay.

Well appointed in a desirable location. We really enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor space. Inside was a bit cramped and some minor repairs are needed but overall a nice stay.
Quaint, lovely cottage - just perfect for the 4 of us. Kitchen was like home - everything we needed. Outdoor space was lovely for relaxing. The hosts were thoughtful, very responsive, and just made us feel welcome. We would come again!
This is a lovely, cozy, clean and welcoming vintage cottage with everything needed including close proximity to the harbor, beach and restaurants. Beautiful yard and responsive management. Definitely repeatable.
I was actually sad when I had to leave. This cottage was perfect for me and my dog. The backyard (and front) are completely fenced in so he spent much time outside. The beach is within walking distance and there are several really nice restaurants within a block or two. I think it is a perfect location. And, it is a quiet neighborhood at night. The owners are remarkable at communicating!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS PLACE and will definitely be returning.
