Very nice location central to most things in the area. The house itself was very nice and the separation of the bedrooms gave everyone the feeling of separate privacy. The beds were all very comfortable. However, there were ants consistently in the master bathroom as well as the kitchen. I don’t feel for this amount of money that that should have been occurring. The sectional couch in the main living area was not connected - the three sections came apart, despite the men in our party trying to fix that. The couch split apart very easily - this was dangerous for my grandchildren and anyone else sitting on the couch. Again for this amount of money the home rents for, they should have a couch that’s all attached. Overall, we had a wonderful time, but I’m not sure I would select this location again for those reasons.

Great location, comfortable house, broken BBQ

The house is located in a convenient spot within walking distance to the beach. You can view the ocean from the deck. The house is clean and mostly well appointed. The outdoor fire pit and hot tub were great. The only bummer was that the outdoor grill was completely rusted out to the point that the central internal burner was missing. It was kind of a problem because we were supposed to be grilling for dinner that night. The property manager responded quickly but couldn’t resolve the problem in a timeframe that was helpful for us. It would have been a five star stay but for the broken BBQ.

Liked: Check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
We stayed here for several nights and there were definitely some positives, but also several maintenance and comfort issues worth noting.The location is excellent — being at the end of the street near the ocean was a huge plus. While there isn’t direct beach access from the end of the street unless you climb down the rocks, there are public stairs to the beach just a few blocks away, making the location very convenient.That said, the home itself did not feel especially well maintained. Upon arrival, the house was hot and stuffy, and we struggled constantly with temperature control. Downstairs feeling damp and muggy while upstairs remained quite warm. The downstairs also had a noticeable musty smell.As a heads up for future guests, there is no air conditioning which was something we admittedly took for granted. Even though outdoor temperatures were not especially hot during our stay, we found ourselves needing to keep windows open day and night to maintain a comfortable temperature.Cleanliness and maintenance—we noticed dead bugs on top of the dining room light fixture, several pieces of deck furniture were rusted, the upstairs deck screen door appeared broken or was not functioning properly, and there was a significant ant problem throughout the property — including the kitchen and bedrooms both upstairs and downstairs. The squeegee in the primary bath had mold.Wasn’t our favorite stay. If maintenance and cleanliness were better, it would have been great.

Perfect Trip to Santa Cruz!

Our Friends for the Long Run group of women had a great stay here! Every year we travel for a half marathon. This may have been our best year yet! The house is perfect and has everything you could possibly want! The kitchen is perfect for a large group of cooks, and is well appointed down to the details (brand new sponges!). The living room accommodated everyone comfortably to enjoy happy hour with a sunset in the backround. The beach towels were warm and cozy, and the bath towels fluffy. Comfortable beds with nice sheets! We loved having access to a few wetsuits and boogie boards so we could all get in the ocean and play. Hot tub and outdoor shower were awesome. So many fun things to do we didn’t have time to ride bikes or sit by the outdoor fire. Owners were attentive and helpful with suggestions for restaurants and things to do. Wish we could have stayed for a month!

Great home for a girls getaway weekend!

My girlfriends and I just stayed at this house for the second year and we loved it! House is stylishly furnished with comfortable beds and lots of room for people to hang out without feeling crowded. Kitchen is well stocked with dishes and supplies (extra thanks to John for remembering that we’d ask for additional Tupperware and ziplocs to be added to the kitchen after our last visit). House is clean, organized and well maintained. . We look forward to another trip next year. Thanks for sharing your house with us!

Wonderful stay!!! Best beach rental!

My husband’s birthday was this weekend and we did a couples trip with a few of our closest friends. John’s Santa Cruz beach rental was the perfect place for all of us! The house was so clean, had comfortable beds, fully stocked, and just a real treat! The location was amazing and the view of the beach from the top balcony was awesome. The backyard with the fire pit and hot tub was a real bonus. John was very easy to communicate with and his instructions were easy to follow. We hope to be able to say here again soon!! Thanks for the hospitality.
