Large and spacious with a terrific location for surfing or Boardwalk. Renting the Penthouse as well was a great choice since this particular unit has restricted ocean viewing from the building next door, and the Penthouse view is spectacular. This is still a great choice, but I would do the second floor the next time. Great communication with the management team.

Thanksgiving get together

Home had plenty of space in all the right places. Especially kitchen, dining and family room. For 5 adults and 3 grandkids. Large table for meals and large table for puzzle and games. Quick manager response for minor needs. Quirky elevator for luggage and ADA use. Fine after short learning curve Walk to beach. Great views from living area and outdoor patio overlooking beach about 2 blocks away. Timely return of full security deposit.

Awesome villa at an awesome location

Can't believe how lucky we were to score this villa! We are part of a training group and staying in town for a race in Santa Cruz. This place is so close to the beach, West Cliff Drive, the start and ending areas for our race. The villa itself was clean and nice, with comfortable beds for everyone. Owner and manager were great about checking in with us. The only thing about coming with a group, is that there is only parking for 2 cars, so any additional cars had to park in a different neighborhood, but this was a minor inconvenience for the great location and stay. My housemates and I are looking forward to coming back again!

Great trip and vacation rental

Property was perfect for our Girls trip. Alex was so helpful and checked during our stay to make certain all was going well. Friends who had never visited Santa Cruz loved our location. Definitely would book this property again. Only recommendation is to provide a few extra blankets, 60+ women get cold.

Cousin's Get Away

Eight of us celebrated our 8th Annual Cousin's Get Away at this wonderful location. It was actually our second visit there. The location is perfect. An easy walk to the Wharf, Boardwalk and seaside walking trails. Any question I had was quickly answered by Alex, the property manager. She was wonderful and very helpful.

Alumni women's getaway weekend

While there were lots of rules to follow to the point we were a bit paranoid (and I will be until I receive my full deposit back), having those rules provided us with the ability to understand how to use the unit's amenities and the local regulations required of everyone in a city none of us are from. Management was very communicative while also not being invasive during our stay. The common spaces are gorgeous and useful for our group of eight women, beds comfortable, and everything clean. Just a couple of things to be mindful of - not all windows in common area have curtains, you can sometimes hear people above moving around, and you must be extremely careful when parking and entering/exiting the garage. I LOVED the videos provided to help us see ahead of time how to properly access and use everything. For a group looking for a peaceful getaway, it was perfect.

Lovely place, but…

All the public rooms are beautiful and light filled, the kitchen a masterpiece, but the bedrooms not so much. The small elevator, which serves 3 units , was problematic. While my husband quickly mastered the operating instructions, those in other units did not. As a result getting ourselves, groceries and luggage up and down was frequently difficult. Given my use of a cane,, lack of reliable elevator service was a drawback. In spite of the issues I’ve noted, the unit’s location was wonderful.
