Loved the place for a family vacation.

The place is outdated as seen on photos and reviews but I don’t have a complaint with it, except the poor shower drain of the master bedroom. The supplies were enough and we found everything we needed. There’s a stairway to the private beach at the end of 12th. (One street next) which we went down everyday for walks. Loved the fact that there are so many lights and details to feel at home. I would definitely come back and recommend to my friends.

I LOVE BEACHNEST ❤️

While fleeing a domestic abuse situation, the staff at Beachnest was so caring and helpful. The property was just what I needed. Spotlessly clean, with PLENTY of Beachnest's signature excellent linens and bedding. This property has a $10 million view, and an amazing deck to enjoy it from. The interior is dated, to be sure, but it is VERY comfortable and "homey". I really enjoy being here. It's also VERY secure, almost fortress like. Close to literally everything you want in Santa Cruz.

Great Location, and it ends there

Location close to beaches, restaurants, and harbor. Fabulous Views. Charming decor features inside. Unfortunately, a long list of maintenance issues for both bathrooms, kitchen, electrical fixtures, and furnishings. Cooking and washing appliances were grungy. Mold is evident inside. Covid protocols outlined in manager's literature were not adhered to. Bath Towels were white, lush, and very clean. Soaps, Shampoos, TP, Paper Towels, et al provided. Small appliances functioned well. Outside had an abundance of dog pooh in the yard; the deck furniture was very dirty; and the deck had lots of cobwebs and dead plants in the boxes. Management company came during our stay and cleaned up the dog pooh.

Comfortable home, great location

We had a great weekend visit with our teens and our dog. We enjoyed walking ... to the beach and to get takeout. The beds were comfortable and we were surprised by the lovely espresso machine in the kitchen. Next time we will bring espresso beans!

All about the location and deck

House has a wonderful view, deck and great room. The kitchen is big but the tools are old. The whole place could use updating (bathrooms etc) but it was charming in a lived-in beach house sort of way :) The location is fantastic - easy access to the beach - only downside of the deck was significant traffic noise from E Cliff just below you.
