Great Location/Neighborhood
We enjoyed truly the location as well as neighborhood. However, right in the middle of our stay, we were informed by management, that there was “some” maintenance going on the next two days and they needed to enter our building. We selected this temporary home for office work as well travelled with a pet and to enter and leave doors open was not an option and informed the management team. After many heated conversations and being told that we got enough notice by law, they agreed to not enter our building, but continued the powerwash resulting in water intrusion into our building as well as all day noise and smell from painting outside the second day. They honored not to enter the door and we saw next door a notice from the other occupant they also do not want anybody to enter. We called again and negotiated compensation.

Great location and stay
We had such a good time. It was very clean, and a great little cottage. The location was amazing. We walked to several places to eat, and started and ended every day watching surfers and otters. Just perfect.

Cute and cozy
Comfy bed, awesome shower head. Plenty of dishes and everything in the kitchen worked. Has a toaster, coffee maker and a bunch of baking necessities. Lots of towels, and paper goods. It’s not fancy or newly renovated, but value for the price was there, and like I said- everything works. The front fenced in area for the dogs was crucial, and the dog loved it.

We came down to spend the weekend with our son. This unit was perfect in location and for us. Our small dog felt right at home. We will stay here again in the future, as it was a perfect fit for us.

Jody was fantastic. Critique I have is house could be a little cleaner. Dust and dirt under couch and bed. Some dishes and silverware were dirty. Mold in shower, large hole in bathroom, plastic cover on cabinet needs to be replaced and it would be nice if it had a garbage disposal. House is in need of TLC.

This tiny cottage is great for one person, or a couple craving lots of togetherness. Nice, quiet, safe neighborhood too. No bells and whistles here, no party atmosphere, just gentle beauty, peace and calm.

Pet Friendly Option next to the Coast!
Location is fantastic, only 1.5 blocks from the cliffs/ocean and walking path. On-site parking was nice since the street it is on tends to be pretty full. The place is small but perfect for 2 people. If you bring a dog, the yard is in the front of the cottage and the fence is low and could easily be jumped. The cottage shares walls with neighbors on both sides and the loosely fenced front yard on one side. Pet-wise, It was a good stay if your dog is fairly well behaved (like the post says!).

A pleasant surprise
Such a lovely neighborhood, much quieter than I expected. The location on 30th is a main through street to the point, so more traffic than others nearby, but still very quiet in the evenings. One improvement is a new umbrella stand (it's nice to sit in the front yard in the evening, but umbrella makes a difference) - it won't stay put with the broken one now. Wish I would have stayed longer even though I was there 8 nights - felt like home right away, and the other tenants were very nice.

This cottage couldn’t have been in a better location. Walks to the cliff side beaches, skateboarding around town. It was the highlight of my trip. The cottage was cozy, clean, and the perfect beach vibe. I’ll be back for sure and would recommend this property to anyone looking for a great little getaway.

disappointing
Pictures were not representative of the condition of the property. Perhaps those pictures were taken in another one of the other two units on the property or are from a few years ago. The place badly needs a facelift... even as little as a paint job would go a long way. The poor lighting in every room made the situation even worse, adding to the dingy feeling of the cottage. The kitchen and the bathroom were extremely dated; pieces of the interior of the fridge were literally cracking or falling off; the flooring in the kitchen and bathroom needs to be replaced; the edges of the furniture, the mirror, the shower door, etc are all worn looking. Not the nicest street in the area, either. Everything just felt a bit dated, depressing or disappointing from the moment we pulled into Santa Cruz from the highway. Fortunately we spent very little time in the cottage over the 3 night stay (we were there barely more than 48 hours total from checkin to checkout, and were gone pretty much all day both days). We would not use the kitchen... literally did not eat a meal at the cottage during our 3 night stay; at least the bathroom and the sheets felt clean. Owner needs to put in a little effort. (p.s. I'm a landlord myself)
