We had an amazing trip! The house was perfect. Great space, yard. Loved the easy walking access to food, day life, night life, ocean, you name it! The host was very quick to answer any questions I had during my stay. Would love to visit again!

Amazing location, great backyard, and super pet friendly. Unfortunately our first night/second morning there was no hot water and it was a result of the water heater being unplugged. The property manager was responsive however this was a less than ideal situation as I’m recovering from a surgery and needed to clean my wound with hot water.

Lovely home in a great location
We've stayed in at least 8 or 9 places in the Santa Cruz area, and this might have been our favorite. It's spacious and well-furnished. The hot tub is excellent. Plenty of room for a family with two teenagers and a small dog. Easy 10-min walk to Capitola Village, 10 mins the other way to Verve and a bunch of surf shops, 14-min drive to downtown Santa Cruz. Hosts were easily reachable via text. Would definitely consider staying here again.
