Great house, great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We have stayed several times at this house for family gatherings. We are a big group of 7-8 adults and 3 kids. We love that there are two living rooms. One has a TV for those who want to watch and the other has a great view for those who prefer not to be in a room with a TV. The kitchen is well equipped. It is a short walk to the beach.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family gathers every year to enjoy each other and catch up. The communal setting of this house make it relaxing and fun so many things to do in the santa.cruz area. One main issue, the stairs are very dark and dangerous at night.there is no outlet to plug in a night light in the upstairs hall. The deck does not have a railing which is not safe for small children.

Everything you'd want in a Santa Cruz house

Great location and you can see and walk to the local beach, the harbor and lighthouse, and the Boardwalk. You're on East Cliff drive, but the property is elevated above street level so it does feel separated from the traffic even if you hear the random harley ride by. The home is accurate to the pictures and description. The kitchen is well equipped, there is plenty of living space for 10+ people, the beds are comfortable, the linens are clean. My family unanimously voted to book again next summer

We were more than pleased with the property. I was concerned that this 140 years house would be cold & drafty, but it was quite comfortable. We did not need to use the heater at all. It has a nice TV, but we enjoyed the view so much we never watched TV at all. The beds & pillows were clean & comfortable; we all slept well. The showers were good; with 6 people taking showers we had plenty of hot water. The was a fairly new washer & dryer. This house has many picture depicting the history of this old, but charming house. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay there again.

Eastside Santa Cruz

We enjoyed our time in this "vintage" beach house. The home is older and creaky as you move about but that is part of its charm. There were 11 of us. We were comfortable in the bedrooms and the dining table expanded to accommodate our group. The kitchen had enough pots and pans and other necessities for us to prepare our meals easily. The views of the ocean were enjoyed inside and out all week long. The home is accessed via a small street/alleyway but we had no issues with our 12 passenger van getting to the home or parking in the large driveway which would have accommodated at least one additional car. The management team had information regarding the rental at the house and clear expectations for the home and for check out. It was a very enjoyable week and we would not hesitate to stay here again!

First Timers!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This beach house accommodations were just what we needed for our family. Plenty of space both inside and out.If you want to get out of the sun, the umbrella helps but there is no where to go outside. And the table is not where it is in the picture, it is out the sliding door. The original house was built around the late 1800's and has been upgraded, but there are places that show its age. It was a short walk to the beach and the neighborhood was very quiet. The street however, is very noisy with a lot of traffic. There were a couple things that were a negative: the bbq is not what the picture shows, so one of our kids brought their own (the bbq has a big gap in the back where it should be closed so airflow can be controlled), and there is no railing along the deck where someone could fall off and be injured. Be sure you write down the code, when calling as you enter because if you leave before the office opens there is no way to leave the key in the lockbox.

The view of the beach and lagoon made sitting on the deck fabulous. Only negative: Four remotes for the TV with no instructions. There was a baseball game we really wanted to see but after an hour of attempting to connect NO SUCCESS. Please have more details in the home folder.

Looking for a large family home close to the beach?

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is the 2nd time booking this location. After the 2023 trip I asked my family if they wanted to rebook or try something new, and unanimously they said rebook.Location is key. The property is as represented in the pics and posting. Its comfortable and we had many a meal for 10 and multiple game nights. The kitchen is well equipped. I did bring a drink cooler the 2nd year as the fridge isn't large. Every kitchen doodad and doohicky is there for whipping up a meal. Did I mention the beach? Its right there. Will definitely book again!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great family vacation. This was our second year at this house, and we have put in our reservation for next year.The location is perfect with plenty of room for all of us. There are a few items that need to be upgraded. A LED strip should be installed around the uneven steps at the top of the stairs to avoid anyone tripping at night. The light switch midway on the rail is not in a good location. The lighting in the dining, sitting and TV area quite dim. The overhead fixtures need to be cleaned and brighter bulbs installed. For safety reasons, there should be an outside light to illuminate the back steps and the edge of the patio to avoid someone stepping off the deck since there is no railing.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Location was good. Great view of beach and lagoon. Easy access to the beach. High trafficked area. Car noise. House worked ok, although we could have used another bathroom. For a house so close to beach, beach chairs and towels should be provided. The clothing dryer did not work properly. Needed to run it for a long while to get the clothing to dry. We had to request kitchen towels as there were only 2 provided for a weeks stay for 10 people. We were given an additional 2 which was inadequate. The deck and outside area was great and we enjoyed sitting on the spacious deck.
