Beach Cottage Getaway
I loved this property and hope to return again. It is a vintage Santa Cruz cottage with modern conveniences. The beds and furniture were comfortable. The location is ideal. You can see the beach from the driveway and it's less than a block away. We walked to the Boardwalk, we walked to dinner and breakfast. It was delightful! While we found the check-out procedures simple, the requirement that dishes be cleaned and returned to the cabinets has a downside. We found 3 dirty baking dishes that had been put away in the cabinets prior to our arrival. In addition, it would be helpful to add a few beach towels. I'd recommend this vacation rental wholeheartedly.

Perfect beach Getaway!
This house is so cute and cozy. Our boys really enjoyed having their own little room in the backyard. Convenient shower (with hot water) in the backyard as well to clean the beach off before coming inside. We walked everywhere, many places to eat close by and of course the beach is right outside the front door. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a clean home in a great neighborhood close to the beach.

Great location and neighborhood
Loved our stay at 120 Vicky by the sea. Can’t ask for a better local, beach is so close yet the house is on a nice, quiet street. Great restaurants and markets within walking distance too. I have only minor complaints about a few things. The paper towels and Tp are ridiculously thin and awful. Would it kill them to provide decent options?! And the coffee maker wasn’t cleaned when we got there. But overall the place was great and I would definitely book again

Family Favorite
We had an amazing time. This part of Santa Cruz is special to my family. The house is right next to our favorite beach, dog friendly and you can roast marshmallows over one of the fire pits. We walked to the boardwalk for a few rollercoaster rides and just really enjoyed the trip. Overall an amazing experience.

Perfect Seabright Thanksgiving
Our family enjoyed our stay in Seabright! The beach house is adorable, comfortable, clean, and in a wonderful setting. We appreciated the short walk to the beach, sunny outside table with views of the beach, inside dining table that was perfect for evening games, and 3 comfortable beds! We hope to return for more family fun at this lovely beach house.

Great location, Quaint older beach house.
The location is excellent for its proximity to Seabright Beach, you can hear the waves crashing all day long. It is away from hotels, in a residential/rental beach community, but is walking distance to coffee shops and restaurants, and a little longer walk away from the Boardwalk. The cute house is older, but well maintained, with a few interesting architectural details. The house itself has 2 bedrooms and a mushy sleeper sofa, and a 3rd detached bedroom. The kitchen furnishings and charcoal grill are adequate. There is plenty of outdoor furniture and some fold-up beach chairs. Perfect for no fuss stay at the beach. We enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

The house has a great location being a block from the beach! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Had all the accommodations we needed- we brought extra supplies that weren’t needed. The backyard was perfect for the dog. There were only 3 of us so it was perfect size. Can’t wait to stay there again.

Vicky by the Sea review
The location was awesome. Very cute house but a bit dated. Would be good to invest in some new mattresses as they were a bit old and soft. Especially the sofa one as even my 50 lb son could not sleep on it without back pain. Another update would be a lock box so that one does not have to drive to Capitola to retrieve AND return the keys. This adds a lot of unnecessary drive time when could be solved with a coded lock box. Otherwise, lovely location and very quiet.

The most amazing location
Vicki by the Sea is a wonderful oasis in an unbeatable location half a block from a beautiful beach. We enjoyed going for walks on the beach in the morning and curling up by the fire in the evening. We were a little disappointed in the condition of the property (tv not working, dust on some surfaces) given the significant amount we paid for our stay but we spoke with the management company and they assured us they would be working to rectify the issues. Overall, we had a great time in this fantastic location!

Adorable cottage in excellent proximity to beach
House was immaculate. Area would be amazing if the colorful cast of vagrants on beach were not also so close. Check in and out times seemed excessive compared to other rentals honestly (4pm in 10am out despite guest book of instructions at property stating 11 am check out.) Teen bungalow very cute but no one wanted to sleep out there again due to the vagrants being just a half block away wandering around and sleeping on beach. Rental agency wasn’t as gracious as they might have been honestly but they take their rules quite seriously it seems. List of check out duties including putting the clean dishes away seemed a bit much since we were paying cleaning fee. We woke up extremely early and departed. An adorable and clean house in an area that should be a 10 bit at no fault of the property has a huge downgrade with the homeless people so close by.

My husband and I enjoyed our getaway at 120 Vicky by the Sea! The house is very charming and you can't beat the location. The enclosed backyard was a secure place for our small dog. Sandra with Kendall & Potter was great to work with in getting our reservation set up and checking in. We are looking forward to coming back!
