Convenient quiet location

The only thing that would be great would be to remove that raised concrete so it's flat to drive in and out of the space out front!

Bedroom with twin beds awful

The twin beds were so uncomfortable and low down in the frames. The living room was dark and the house was generally ok but nothing special at all.

Great place to stay for a family

This house is great and has plenty of room for our family of 6. The only issue we had was a person in the Black Dodge truck that kept parking in front of the house in one of the four parking spots.

Comfortable and convenient

I stayed here with my wife and mother-in-law for my daughter's UCSC graduation weekend. House is very clean and well-appointed. Kitchen was supplied with all necessary utensils and some basics like salt and pepper, etc. I liked the location - near the beach and not too far from downtown, but a little out of the downtown and westside craziness. Having two bathrooms was great. And dedicated parking is great too. Only thing a little confusing was that the "backyard" is really the sideyard, which you enter off the front. It was small and non-descript, but did provide a nice outdoor space for sitting in the sun. The actual backyard is associated with another unit.

Great Space

Great space for the $$ for 2 couples, 2 children. Related is good. No problems with noise. Fun house. Who wants to cook, there’s so many places around for pizza, Thai or burgers. But, the kitchen is big and very accommodating. Parking needs to be worked on. ❤️👍

Excellent location to beaches and big trees!

The space works well for 3 generations. The bedrooms had enough space & storage area, the bathrooms were clean & updated, the kitchen had cookware, plenty of dishes and silverware along with some spices. The location is on a busier street (buses & traffic) but quiets during the night. It's a quick entry to go to the state parks, be it beach or the tall trees. I would recommend this home to any group of friends or family.

Super Duper house

It is clear that the owner has pride in the way the house is maintained and furnished. The kitchen was perfectly appointed with dishes and cooking implements and appliances. The dinning room was comfortable, the fans in the bathroom were whisper soft and effective, beds were comfy. Everything was done with care. this was a great place for a great price. The location is convenient for cycling and Santa Cruz Shakespeare and many good restaurants. The only single drawback is that it is on a busy street. But the house is well insulated for noise and there is plenty of parking. We happily look fwd to our next stay.

SANTA CRUZ VACATION

While the accommodations and the house itself was top notch, along with excellent communication with Hallie, the property manager, we're not sure if we would return to this location as the noise of the day (and night) from street traffic to fire engines, to construction, to traffic was most annoying. The day started early given the loud noise coming from the main street. Again, NOT a vacation scenario we had in mind. Plus NOT having a direct exit to the backyard and having to go around in front for access was not appealing. If this house was on a quieter street, I believe it would make a BIG difference.

Cozy Santa Cruz Cottage

Our group of four adults and two kids spent four nights at this vacation rental on the east side of Santa Cruz. It’s walking distance to a great little beach and within a short drive of some popular surf spots (Cowell’s, Pleasure Point and Jacks), as well as shops and restaurants. Kitchen and dining room are great for dining at home. Beds are comfy. Property manager was very responsive to questions/issues. We would definitely book again.

Comfortable, clean and close by

All five friends and spouses loved this clean and well appointed house. Relaxing was easy in the large gathering spaces. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms allowed for privacy when we needed it. The decor was up to date and made us feel comfortable. Access to restaurants and beaches was close by and getting to westside events was convenient.

Stay in Santa Cruz

We were in SC for a celebration of life and rented two homes. This was the smaller/overflow home and it was perfect. I wasn't sure how to lift blinds and didn't want to break them. There was no string so I called and someone returned my call and she wasn't sure either. She said if there wasn't strings then pull/push to move them. It worked out fine.

Solid place good location

Overall we enjoyed our stay but there were a few issues. On the plus side the place was as advertised, clean and well stocked. It’s walking distance to a couple beaches which was great. In terms of issues with the place we did have some plumbing issues when we first arrived. Luckily the host was very responsive and they got it dealt with right away. Other than that we also had some issues in our family with allergies during our stay that were pretty bad. Overall though we enjoyed our stay.
