Deck is nice
Very nice, clean and easy. The deck was nice because I play the guitar and my wife does not want to hear me practice. The deck is a nice second private space with a view.

nice, private feeling stay in Santa Cruz
I really loved the private feel of the room and patio. The space felt bright and pretty clean. I think it could use new carpeting as there were several stains. The shower is pretty bad (way too much pressure for a small shower) but the owner said that he is going to fix that soon. Loved the patio!

Wonderful Stay!
I spent two nights here while my daughter was visiting a friend at UCSC and the stay was fantastic. Easy check in process, beautiful property, and very cozy rental. The bed was super comfortable and the sound of the rain on the roof was lovely. The view the next day and the sunset once the rain cleared was gorgeous. Also, the proximity to the store (Safeway) was great as I had to buy ice a couple of times (no freezer, just fyi). Not a big deal though. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back! :)

Perfect space for a Santa Cruz visit
This was a very cozy room with a lovely view and amazing outdoor patio (that we didn’t get to enjoy as our stay was too short ;(
I hope to stay again next time I’m in SC!
It’s exactly as pictured and the bed was incredibly comfortable. You won’t be disappointed : )
Also, it’s a nice quiet location not too far from UCSC, downtown and the beach. (Short drive to each)
Loved it, gorgeous room. Quiet. Peaceful. Great view.

Great little find
We loved our overnight stay at this property in Capitola the terraced area was fantastic where we watched the most amazing sunset. We also got to see our first hummingbird whilst sitting on the terrace which was just magical.
We visited Shadowbrook for dinner and UCSC Arboretum and Botannical gardens which were superb!

Really cute and quaint room
Super quiet, cute, quaint room if you prefer over a hotel. Easy entry, exactly as pictured. Perfect for my sister and I for wedding weekend. Central location, easy to walk to everything, nice neighborhood.
Bed was SO comfortable!! Bedding and towels were amazing !
Only negatives, shower pressure is a bit too much and no decaf k cups which really aren’t major complaints, given the rest of the stay was perfect.

Overnight stay at the Cabana
The cabana was clean and even had a little patio out back to just unwind and relax after a long drive. There was a kitty that welcomed us on the patio which was a treat, we enjoy our cats and dogs so it was a nice treat. Super quiet neighborhood, got a great nights sleep and would recommend for anyone.
