Easily exceeds expectations

Where do I even start?! Crystal was kind, helpful, and accommodating from the moment I booked her home for our family vacation. Check in was a breeze and as soon as we pulled up to her property, it was breathtaking. We were a party of 10 and there was plenty of space for all of us. Her home provided us with everything we needed and more. It is very well maintained, and clean. We will definitely book again!

Girls Weekend Success

This was our second time renting Crystal‘s fantastic house for our girls weekend. This year we were nine women and we stayed for three nights. We enjoyed the hot tub and the backyard between rain showers. The living space was very comfortable inside! And the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable as well! We just can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is and how easy it is to work with Crystal!

We just completed a fabulous stay at Crystal's home. The place is incredibly spacious and well though out. Everything was labeled and the little touches like the bathrobes and checkin snacks were a nice surprise. Crystal was an absolute pleasure to communicate with and made everything smooth and easy. We will be back!

Beautiful home with all the amenities

We had a high school basketball tournament in San Jose, and our team stayed at this house for two nights. The four bedrooms were able to hold 10 high school girls and the coaches. The carpets in the largest bedrooms have enough cushion for sleeping bags, and the beds are all comfortable. The cleanliness and amenities at this property are wonderful.

Great location, preheated hot tub and hotel type bathrobes, and a well stocked kitchen for our big family. There were plenty of games and outdoor equipment for kids to ride/use as well as a beautiful backyard for them to run around in. Ez entry and communication with the owners made it a smooth landing for our trip from South Orange County. We will book again!

Crystal was very nice and thorough with her explanation of checking in. Check in was a breeze. The house was much more spacious than I imagine. Houses usually look bigger in the pictures but not this house. It is huge and roomy with plenty of place to sit inside and outside the house. Plenty of parking as well. Overall, I will definitely book this place again.

Fantastic house in Soquel was PERFECT!

The house is even bigger than it appears in the photos and decorated really nicely. We enjoyed the large backyard with plenty of spaces, tables, firepit, corn hole, flowers and a hot tub! The kitchen is perfectly organized, the couches were comfie and the dining table is generously sized to fit everyone. We were there for a wedding and had more than enough room for several cars. The host is fabulous and I'd call this the perfect house! I'm hoping my family will return another time when this exact house is available. Thank you for a perfect place to stay! I HIGHLY recommend this house without any reservation :)
