Great location, but property really needs updating and a deep clean.

Property is definitely dated and doesn’t feel clean as carpet, upholstery and linens are terribly stained and worn. Needs more towels, especially since there are no laundry facilities. We were given 2 dish towels, one really worn hot pad, no oven mitts, etc. Cutting boards were so awful, we didn’t use them. Toaster oven didn’t work. Hair dryer didn’t work. Light bulbs were burned out. The view was amazing but given the price, we expected higher quality.

And the position of this property is worth a stay, the back bedroom is very near the road and was noisy. Otherwise we felt it could’ve been upgraded somewhat,But all in all we had a wonderful time

Ocean View

Ocean view was amazing, but the place has not been kept up. Things were either broken or didn't work. Not very clean. King beds were two twins put together with OLD pillows. If it weren't for the ocean view this would be a train wreck.

Amazing!!

The location of this place is AWESOME. Not only is it steps from a cozy little stretch of beach, but it sits on a small outcrop of rocks giving you the most incredible views of the sunrise/sunsets and ocean! The place itself was spotless when we arrived, and the unit is light and bright and well taken care of. Very responsive owner. We loved our time here and will be back.

Beautiful Location

The location of this home is nearly unbelievable -- we watched some beautiful sunsets out on the back porch. The house itself is quite spacious, but well-worn in. It felt like some parts of the home could use a good deep cleaning.

Amazing location and view

Exactly as advertised. Beautiful location with views up and down the coast, easily able to see dolphins and otters from the front of the property (even from within, through the windows.) One house over from the main, nearby beach area so literally a couple dozen steps. Hope to come back soon.

Amazing

This is the second time I've stayed and we tried down stairs this time, which was just as fabulous as the upstairs. The view and access to the beach couldn't be any better. It is the best place to relax and enjoy the ocean sites and sounds. A fully stocked kitchen, BBQ, and Jacuzzi, make it easy to just stay in and enjoy the spectacular ocean views. An incredible place to unwind and revel in the beauty of Nor Cal.

Amazing location with it's proximity to downtown Santa Cruz and it's own little beach. Place was a little dated but clean. The hot tub is very nice and right on the ocean! Owners were accessible and check in and out instructions were easy. Thanks for a nice stay!

Thanks so much for a great stay - the xmas tree was an unexpected nice touch. I recommend and would stay here again - best spot on the coast, exciting location right on the ocean, walk to all you need, well stocked, nice hot tub, very responsive management, even on xmas day! Again, the view and location right on the water is special for the area. Thanks again.
