Everything was perfect; just what I was expecting and I wasn’t disappointed. A great place to relax, close to the ocean and places to eat. For anyone interested in walking to the Boardwalk, it’s approximately 23K steps

We enjoyed our stay at the Beach Cottage!! Loved everything about it! It is decorated perfectly! Spent time on the back deck with all the lovely flowers!! Loved that there were beach chairs and a small cooler. So nice to be able to walk to the beach! We would definitely book this location again!!

Relaxing oasis

We loved our 3-night stay in this cute spot. The private backyard and patio furniture was great for outdoor meals. The bed and bedding was super comfortable. Overhead fans were all we needed to keep cool. Very quiet street; tons of privacy. We appreciated the host's thorough communication and pet-friendly policy. The beach is a very short walk away (at the end of the street). Would love to return and stay here again.

Charming!

It was all we needed. Adorable home. It was well appointed and stocked with coffee, filters, liquid soap, toilet paper, and laundry soap. Walking distance to the beach and restaurants at the marina. The back porch/ yard is charming. If the weather would have cooperated, I could have spent an afternoon lounging with a good book. There is also a front porch with darling window boxes full of beautiful flowers. Even though the apartment in the back is also rentable; it wasn’t a problem having neighbors so close. Check in/ out was flawless and super easy.

Better than you expect!

5 Star Review! The pictures do not do this place justice. Its perfectly comfortable and suitable for a couple on a trip to Santa Cruz. The location was perfect for us, considering what we had going on while we were there.The living room furniture and the bed were comfortable. Plenty of towels available. The back patio was a very nice place to unwind at the end of the day. Furniture is comfortable and there are more chairs and small tables present, that are not shown in the listing photos.We did have a couple of hiccups but I'm not going to stray away from the 5 star rating as they are all more inconveniences than anything else. Plus they are all fixable.Kitchen - One of the cutting boards had crumbs and some food debris stuck to it.The kitchen knives were incredibly dull. Dull to the point that trying to cut a tomato, turned it to mush.There was a very dirty sponge left at the kitchen sink and the Dawn dishwashing liquid was practically empty. BBQ - Gas grill, located on the side of the house, which is not in the pictures. The propane tank was empty but there was a spare nearby. The grill surface had food residue stuck to it. There is a brush provided but it should probably be replaced soon as it was not the most effective at cleaning the grill surface. The ignition switch did not work either. Luckily, I found some matches in one of the kitchen drawer and was able to get the grill working.

Nice little house. Enjoyed the back yard. Limited seating for dinner. No one was using the 'studio" in back - a separate rental space? Might be a little awkward using the back yard and laundry if others were there. Walk to the beach and restaurants. Would stay again.

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend as we were attending a wedding. The property was exactly as advertised. Such a cute, cozy beach house. Perfect for relaxing and just steps from Twin Lakes State Beach and walking distance to some great eating spots. Harbor Cafe breakfast was delish! One of the best VRBO's that we've stayed in. Would definitely come back again!

Beautiful property excellent location- just as advertised and very comfortable. Note that there are no cooking basics in the kitchen (salt, pepper, oil) which made cooking hard without buying a lot of supplies.
