Perfect Weekend

Wonderful beach cottage, well located. Although small for a three bedroom, space was not an issue as the home is well laid out and the deck is huge with a stunning view. Easy to find and park, we will definitely look to stay here whenever available.

Lovely Home

We enjoyed our visit to this lovely home. It was a joy to be so close to the beach and the attention to detail within the home made it feel very intentional and high quality. The only thing that I would want others to know that although this home faces the gorgeous shore it also backs up to a very busy street and there was considerable traffic noise from 7am - 7pm. Not a dealbreaker, just something to note.

Beautiful house in a perfect Beach location.

The house was clean, kid friendly and well maintained. The layout made it easy to enjoy time together as a family but also have privacy if needed. The views and access to the beach were stunning. Amazing location and amazing house. Highly recommend.

Great cottage right overlooking Twin Lakes

Nicely updated and decently stocked rental. Amazing views of the beach and literally just steps from the beach. The deck is optimized for the beautiful views with adirondack chairs, a table with umbrella and recliners.The cottage is clean and with 2 parking spots in the alley behind. Only nit are the beds are older and could use updating, but everything else about the rental was great. The host was also very communicative and responsive when we had some questions or issues.

Making Memories!

My family stayed in this charming house, and it was better than we hoped. We had everything we needed, plenty of space for four of us and convenient parking. The views from the deck were spectacular and the beach and harbor close enough to walk to. Very comfortable and clean and great place to make memories! The owner Tim was very responsive and made sure everything was in order. Highly recommend!

Good but not great

Cleanliness could have been better. Refrigerator was not clean and trash remained in the trash can. Couch had some trash between cushions. Bathrooms are really tight on space. King sized bed was a little too big for the room and a little lumpy. The location was fantastic.

Cute Cottage

This vacation was just what we needed. The cottage beach house is adorable and cozy. I enjoyed the beautiful ocean view twin lakes beach view and doing my morning yoga on the deck. Some of the outlets are old and don’t work but it was no big deal. I’d stay here again for sure. The hosts were both helpful and friendly too.

So Peaceful

We stayed here for 5 days and loved it. It is very welcoming and has everything you need. We cooked a little and this place had all the essentials for coffee and even EVVO. The beds were super comfortable and we were able to do laundry and spend a lot of time with our family. CA had unprecedented storms and cold the entire time we were there, but we made use of the puzzles and games. The view was still great and we wish we could have spent any time on that wonderful porch.

Relaxing

Cute cottage Calming ocean sounds Comfortable bed with a view Convenient parking in the alley behind home Access to the beach from the home is not as convenient as anticipated. I had a 4 year old with me and it was challenging walking across large and jagged boulders to get to the beach or the alternative is walking along the side of the road with busy traffic.

Incredible Beach Getaway

My wife, 5 year old daughter, and I stayed at this property and we could not have asked for a better place to spend a long weekend at the beach! The location and short walk down the stairs to the beach was perfect for our family. The view from the deck is absolutely gorgeous. The house was tastefully appointed, kitchen was beautiful and contained everything we needed, the bedrooms were nice with comfortable beds, and the internet was fast. We really appreciated the private parking spots, and my wife and I can't stop talking about how gorgeous the views were. We had no complaints at all and plan to visit again in the future. My only note is the location might not be ideal for someone with difficulty climbing stairs if you plan on spending time on the beach, however anyone would find it easy to enjoy the view from the deck, regardless of mobility restrictions.

Great location, great home, we had a blast!

Tim has a beautiful cottage, fully updated in a fabulous location. Just a few steps to the sand and ocean this was a great place for us to stay. Kitchen was fully stocked with everything you could need, just bring your food and drinks, Nice flooring, wall of windows facing the surf, open floor plan, big dining table. Main bedroom with king and second bedroom with two twins that can be pushed together. Back bedroom has tv and comfy pull out bed. It was really comfortable which I was not expecting. Bathrooms were fully updated. We will make this our spot in Santa Cruz.

Perfect location

The house is a bit dated, and be aware that there is no AC…. But we came in the height of summer and it wasn’t a problem. But really, you’re renting this place for it’s location & that was perfection. Everyone in our party (ranged from 3 to 73) was able to get up and down the rock path which is steps from the front door! The owner was great to communicate with & we had an absolute blast! Parking in SC can be a nightmare and renting this place gave us 4 spots (2 in the back of the house and 2 we took at 6am when they were empty). Would definitely rent again!

Beautiful View

Our stay was just about perfect. The weather cooperated with rain only during our day of our departure. The gas fireplace is wonderful in the chilly weather. Beach access was a a little further than we expected but due to the storms this winter there was a lot of water so we couldn't walk down the closest trail to the cottage. The beds are all very cozy! Three bedrooms but no couch bed. TV s worked great, but I brought my fire stick anyways. Fully stocked with laundry and dishwashing detergent, fancy hand soap, sponges, toilet paper, paper towels even some spices. Could use a teapot to boil water but there are many different pots and pans. Bring your own beach towels. Outside on the side of the cottage there is a storage bend with beach chairs one umbrella and a couple boogie boards which are all in good shape. Beach boardwalk just down the street. Great vacation!
