This home is exceptional!! It’s a beautiful setting, with plenty of very comfortable sleeping arrangements and places to sit and gather for talking, meals and playing games from the well-stocked games/puzzles closet! The kitchen is well appointed with anything you might need, 3 full baths are so welcoming when hosting a large group and in addition to the inside space, there are plenty of outdoors spaces to relax and gather. The "crow's nest" has an incredible view of the coast and so fun to sit and watch the sunset there! Be aware, the loft room housing a queen bed is accessible by using a ladder on the walll - so may not be easy for some to handle getting up there or coming down! We had a wonderful time here and would highly recommend it.

A great house!

This was our second time staying here and we love this house. It is incredibly well stocked. Our group of 11 stayed here for four nights and cooked all of our meals. There wasn’t anything that we wished we had, that wasn’t in the house. It’s so close to the beach, the location couldn’t be much better. It’s a great place for a couple of families to stay together.

Clean and close to beach

The house was great for our annual friend/family together. The beds were comfortable with nice crisp white sheets. Layout was great, I wouldn't put small kids in the loft but it was perfect for the teenage girl in our group. Kitchen was well stocked. It is a block and a half to the beach and the house had plenty of boogie boards and chairs. Would rent again if in the area.

Great Spot in Santa Cruz

We booked this for Thanksgiving and then half of our family couldn't attend with us. This was still an amazing space for our family even by ourselves for the holiday. My 7 year old LOVED the loft room, and we appreciated all the beach toys to use. I just want to live in that living room the rest of my life.

Merry Christmas!

Sandcastle is a warm, welcoming and very friendly and comfortable home. We came with our adult children and grands and totally enjoyed our Christmas. The owners decorated for Christmas, which made it extra special. Thank you for making this special place available to us! Happy New Year!!

Beautiful Stay

Fantastic home. We brought extra toiletries and TP due to experiences that some in our party had endured when staying at other spots. Not needed here. This home was generously supplied with everything visitors might need, from the kitchen to the baths to the puzzle closet and more. Lovely views, everything as advertised. Highly recommend!
