Wonderful week in this gorgeous home away from home! A comfortable, spacious retreat for our family to stay while celebrating a college graduation. Convenient location, well-appointed spaces to relax and unwind, a great kitchen, and a beautiful backyard area complete with hot tub!Perfect for our group of five, and could easily have fit several more.

Great house in a great location

We had a family reunion in Santa Cruz with a wide range of ages from young children through to grand parents. The house was wonderful, spacious, well furnished with a lovely outdoor space. Just a short walk down to the beach. We all loved it and would recommend.

Fabulous large comfortable home

Great location for walks to beach, boardwalk, restaurants and walks on west cliff drive. We loved the big yard and patio with plenty of seating. We thought two baths would not do for 12 people but because they are large, it all worked out. Will definitely be back.
