Easter Family fun

Thank you for a lovely stay to enjoy precious family time. The rain delayed beach time which just created time for us to cook and watch movies together. Lovely host - would enjoy staying here again !

Fantastic cottage!

Great location near the harbor and twin lakes. Very clean and appointed beautifully throughout. Love the outdoor area with plentiful seating and room for the doggos to explore. Highly recommend Kim and Pam's place!

About the host

Hosted by Kim James and Pam Greene

Sisters Kim and Pam bought this adorable bungalow as a family project. We've lovingly updated it and look forward to sharing it with guests as well as our families.

Why they chose this property

We love the Santa Cruz vibe and hope to retire here. Our favorite childhood memories are of the beach and boardwalk at Santa Cruz.

What makes this property unique

A morning walk with the dogs to Java Junction for a latte at the beach. Watching the beach wake up and start populating. Or coffee in the garden, reading the paper and watching the birds.
