The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk also has great specials during the week that will save you a lot of money without the crowds.
Fall is upon us this means that the beaches aren't packed with people and yet the weather is still warm and beautiful. Humpbacks are still in our bay and you may spot one breaching offshore or get on one of our local Whale Watching tours and you will see so much sea life. This is the season to enjoy watching Grey Whales from the shore as they migrate to Mexico with their calves. There are also many Monarch butterflies across the street at Natural Bridges State Park. You may also spot a few in our backyard.

Edge of the beach walk
After walking from Natural Arches to Steamer Lane Supply for coffee and donuts, we investigated the area closer to our home base. We discovered Ferrell's Donuts, Cat and Cloud coffee, Fonda Feliz coffee and pastries and lots of interesting shops and restaurants. Three couoples had a great time sharing the home and the neighborhood and will return.

We would come back again
The house was great. The kids' room is adorable, and we appreciated all of the bikes and toys left for us to enjoy. Great proximity to the beach, with a free State Park pass - thanks! The garbage was really full, and we didn't know whether to put the bins out on garbage day. We didn't know it was garbage day until we heard the trucks the next morning, so we left them even more full. It would have been nice to know about that. Also, The manager wasn't there upon arrival, as expected, to give me the new entry code. If the housekeepers hadn't still been there when we arrived, we would not have known how to get in the house.

Good Space and Location
Beds and bedding were comfortable, Lots of towels, liked all the beach stuff, and fire pit.
Couldn’t seem to get lamps in some bedrooms to work, ants in master bathroom, and some kitchen pans were old and rusty.

Nice location well appointed
A nice location close to a small beach and nature area and only minutes from the Boardwalk area. The home is well equipped for a full family of both adults and children. The jogging stroller was particularly helpful and the bikes and beach toys welcome. We made good use of both the full kitchen and the gas BBQ. I expect that we will be back.

Good Location--But.....
The location of this house is its greatest advantage. Unfortunately, the promised pass to Natural Bridges State Park was not honored. The existing pass had expired, and when we contacted the property manager, she promised she would deliver a current pass but that did not occcur. I would never rent a property again that did not allow you to wear shoes in the house which is the case with this property. The house could use some upgrades (plumbing is very noisy and the icemaker doesn't work).

Wedding Weekend
We had a great time. The spacious house was everything I imagined it would be. My son's wedding was the center attraction. Wish I had more time to visit and enjoy the area. We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the evening.

Comfortable spacious rental
We enjoyed our stay with our family in Santa Cruz for a wedding. Not many true 4 bedroom homes for rent with 3 baths available in town. The property is well maintained, good wifi, tv, and the kitchen is well supplied with utensils. Janiece, the property manager, quickly responded to our questions and checked in with us to make sure everything was ok.
