Lana’s place was absolutely amazing. Beautiful, clean, with wonderful walk ability to the beach and nearby restaurants. We also loved the little back porch and yard and spent hours out there reading and enjoying a Santa Cruz sunshine. Will be back for sure… I’m not sure how we could’ve asked for more

Lana's beach house is an adorable cottage with beautiful beach themed decor. It was very comfortable. The backyard is a perfect spot to read or reflect. The neighborhood is quiet with friendly neighbors. The beach is a 5 minute walk away, there is a small convenience store/deli around the corner, and several restaurants in walking distance (go to Johnny's Harborside!).

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend as we were attending a wedding. The property was exactly as advertised. Such a cute, cozy beach house. Perfect for relaxing and just steps from Twin Lakes State Beach and walking distance to some great eating spots. Harbor Cafe breakfast was delish! One of the best VRBO's that we've stayed in. Would definitely come back again!

Nice little house. Enjoyed the back yard. Limited seating for dinner. No one was using the 'studio" in back - a separate rental space? Might be a little awkward using the back yard and laundry if others were there. Walk to the beach and restaurants. Would stay again.

Perfect Getaway

This beach house was ideal in every way. The design and style of the decorating was stunning and the layout of the back and front yards with tropical vibes made for the perfect romantic getaway. Plus the bathroom was amazing. This house is spectacular and if we could give it more than 5 stars we would.
