My husband and I agreed that this was the best kitchen we’ve had in a VRBO! High end gas stove, pull out corner cabinet with everything we could need and more, including cast iron skillets! But the views out the picture windows and close proximity to the beach are why we really picked it and we would definitely go back again!

We were so pleased with the location of this home. It felt like a home away from home.. The beds were comfortable everything you would need in the kitchen. Quiet neighborhood. Close quick walk down the stairs to the beach. Crows Nest for dining right down the way. We all were very happy.

Perfect Weekend

Wonderful beach cottage, well located. Although small for a three bedroom, space was not an issue as the home is well laid out and the deck is huge with a stunning view. Easy to find and park, we will definitely look to stay here whenever available.

Making Memories!

My family stayed in this charming house, and it was better than we hoped. We had everything we needed, plenty of space for four of us and convenient parking. The views from the deck were spectacular and the beach and harbor close enough to walk to. Very comfortable and clean and great place to make memories! The owner Tim was very responsive and made sure everything was in order. Highly recommend!

Graduation Weekend

We booked this place on the weekend my daughter was graduating from UCSC. Real cute cottage! Loved the view of the beach! Had everything we needed. Wished we could of stayed longer. Only issue was parking my Toyota Tundra - had to maneuver to fit in space - not a prob for mod size suvs . Thank you for a memorable stay!

Lovely Home

We enjoyed our visit to this lovely home. It was a joy to be so close to the beach and the attention to detail within the home made it feel very intentional and high quality. The only thing that I would want others to know that although this home faces the gorgeous shore it also backs up to a very busy street and there was considerable traffic noise from 7am - 7pm. Not a dealbreaker, just something to note.

Great cottage right overlooking Twin Lakes

Nicely updated and decently stocked rental. Amazing views of the beach and literally just steps from the beach. The deck is optimized for the beautiful views with adirondack chairs, a table with umbrella and recliners.The cottage is clean and with 2 parking spots in the alley behind. Only nit are the beds are older and could use updating, but everything else about the rental was great. The host was also very communicative and responsive when we had some questions or issues.
