Lovely Beach House

This was a great place for our family of 4 to stay during a road trip. Lovely quiet location, right next to the coast. The cottage is well fitted out with everything we needed, it was clean and communication with the owner was simple and straightforward. Would definitely stay here again and recommend to others.

Great beach house!

My teen grands and I really enjoyed this beach house. The location is perfect, only 2 minutes from the beach. The street is very quiet, very safe and welcoming neighbors. The house is very well equipped, lots of new upgrades, and very clean. Definitely would stay again!

Adorable Beach Cottage

This house is in an absolutely perfect location and had all of the amenities of home. We stayed here with our two kiddos, 8 & 10, and it was perfect! Easy walk to Pleasure Point, ice cream, coffee, etc and a very quick jaunt to Capitola for shopping and great food. All around an excellent place to stay to explore all the Santa Cruz area has to offer!

A comfortable little house 2 blocks from the beach. It has everything you need! I was concerned that the back bedroom would be very cramped, but it’s larger than it looks in the photo.

Great location but that’s about it

I have stayed here twice. Battled ants both times, significantly worse this most recent time. Kitchen is severely lacking, plan accordingly. Main bedroom is bright all night long due to outside lights from the street. The street and neighborhood is fantastic and walkable but don’t expect anything special from this rental everything is very cheap and basic.

Fantastic location; great value

We paid literally three times as much last time we stayed on Pleasure Point for a house a few blocks away. This house is better situated (especially to walk to Dunlap’s Donuts AND the 38th street break), the beds were much more comfortable, and the shower head/water pressure was the best ever. Winston the pig and a plum tree on the street were bonuses! Not a lot of frills or decor you want to emulate at home, but an incredible value. I hope we get to stay here again. My husband, our two teenagers and I were very happy with our stay. Even left without any dirty laundry thanks to the outdoor washer and dryer.

It was very cute and easy walk to the beach. The neighbors were very friendly. The only thing I would have liked is if the floors were mopped and the back patio needed cleaning. I did daily cleaning to keep it nice. I would definitely come back again!

Ideal Location

Cute little place in a prime location close to the beach. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had all that was needed, and the washer dryer was great to have. Only thing to know is this is a partially converted building, so it seemed the living room didn’t have much insulation. Luckily there’s a good heater. Only other complaint is some of the kitchenware (pots/pans) should really be updated. But overall great sty.

Perfect beach stay

It is walking distance to pleasure point beach. On the way you can say hi and feed Winston the pet pig! The beds are very comfortable. The neighborhood is extremely quiet. Washer and dryer is such a bonus when traveling with young kids. The kitchen is modern and has everything I needed. The rooms are bright so bring an eye mask if you don't wish to rise with the sun. Definitely a perfect stay.
