We were here for our son's graduation from UC Santa Cruz. The house was perfect! We loved how convenient everything was- the ocean, the boardwalk, the warf, and the sea lions! Our kids loved the bikes too. We found the house to be clean and the communication was excellent. Thank you!

Great place for a beach vacation

Wonderful primary bedroom suite, basement finished with bunk beds, additional bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and separate TV room. A block from the beach, a short walk from the big Boardwalk amusement park. Garage is converted to a storage/ man cave with couches, TV, wet suits, bikes, and beach stuff. This place was perfect for my daughter and two boys to enjoy Santa Cruz beaches and visit the Monterey aquarium.

Great spot

Brought my parents visiting from CO to Santa Cruz for our kids soring break. The house is minutes from the beach, a short walk to the boardwalk and is in a really nice part of town. The place was stocked with anything you need for a day at the beach. My daughter loved getting on the boogie board. Would recommend to anyone wanting a vacation home away from home

Perfect beach house

Fantastic location, great communication

You really cant get a better location in terms of walkability to beach, harbor, etc. Great set up for extended family with a floor separating aleeping areas, making it ideal for mix of older family and kids. Host has a garage full of bikes, toys, wetsuits, boogie boards and they are in good repair. Host was also a great commjnicator. She was friendly, professional and flexible. I highly recommend the place.

Great beach house

It is a great beach house. They supplied everything you need for the beach and more. Wet suits, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys. Very nice kitchen and very well stocked! Bathrooms were nice. The downstairs TV area is dark and the bedrooms are dark and small. But the beds we’re comfortable. There was laundry facilities. The location couldn’t have been better!!!

Perfect Get-Away close to the beach!

The communication with the home owner was fantastic! He got right back to us with the questions we had and was an overall really nice person. The home is on a quite street, not many cars. Its an easy 3 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to the Boardwalk. The house is very clean and comfortable. Kitchen has everything needed to cook dinners in and having a BBQ was a huge plus! Can't say enough about this place its simply a fantastic place to say and we look forward to going back!
