Perfect cozy beach house

Spent 2 nights with our family of 5 adults. Location was perfect, quiet neighborhood but close to everything we wanted to do. Enjoyed quick walk to the beach and ice cream. Loved all the extras…the park pass, bicycles and beach equipment. Kitchen had everything we needed to prepare meals. We can’t wait to return to the area and hope this home is available when we do.

Close to beach

Cute clean home in quiet neighborhood. Beach was closer than expected but still drove since the walk back would have been uphill. Having our vehicle there was easy with the parking situation and loved having the Poppy pass they provided to get in to the state beaches, otherwise we would have been paying 10 bucks at every stop for entry. No contact with host was needed, but it appears they were attentive but kept distance which was nice.

Cozy Retreat

I brought my son from Florida to visit my daughter who lives in Santa Rosa, The home was the perfect setting for the three of us. It had everything we needed. Beautiful outdoor patios, light and bright. Quiet street in walking distance to beach and restaurants. I highly recommend it for any age group wanting a getaway.

We had a wonderful stay! We enjoyed the walkable proximity (about 1/2 mile) to the beach, convenience store and ice cream shop, as well as a very short drive to Capitola and Aptos for dining and hanging out. We also drove just a few miles and took a beautiful hike in the Forest of Nisene Marks state park. The house itself was very clean, had everything we needed and wanted. The yard is lovely and and I made good use of the hammock each night. There are a bunch of nice touches, like a couple of bikes, bocce ball in the back yard and a car pass for the State Parks.

Family Get Away

This was a great spot to have our first vacation as a family of 5. We have small children and wanted to have somewhere close to the beach but still in a quiet neighborhood. This spot was great. They loved the backyard when we weren't at the beach, especially the hammock. All the amenities were great and while it was close to everything, the neighborhood was quiet and lots of families enjoying the nice weather.

A Perfect Little Place

My husband and two children stayed here for 3 nights. We would have stayed longer if it was available! This is the perfect amount of space for the 4 of us. The outside seating/space made it feel so spacious. The neighborhood was very quiet. I loved the fact that we had a state park pass to use as Seacliff Beach is close by. We chose to drive there instead of walk. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook, the beds were comfortable, and the washer and dryer worked well. The information binder was a plus! We’d love to come back for a stay again and explore more of the area. Just a heads up, at this time, there tends to be a lot of traffic on highway 1, so plan your travel time accordingly if going to Santa Cruz.

Spring get-away

This was a first time visit to Santa Cruz for a friend and her family from Las Vegas. The house was perfectly located, easy to find, nestled in a quiet, friendly neighborhood. The host was very responsive. The guest book was full of helpful information about the area, including a street map for a 10 minute walk to the beach. You don't have to wander far for groceries or a delicious ice cream treat. The house features two relaxing patios. The outdoor lighting for the front patio was enchanting at night.
