Lovely Place

We very much enjoyed our stay over the Christmas weekend. The house is clean and is just as described in the listing. It took a couple of phone calls and texts to have someone address a hot water issue but everything worked out fine in the end. Great location. We would stay here again.

In Santa Cruz for the Triathlon

The property was exactly as advertised. It was wonderful being a stone's throw from the beach, where there was a great deal of activity. The house is on a one-way street with very little traffic.

Fabulous property right in all the action

House is great in a location that’s perfect for beach, food, biking and being near the marina. House was immaculate and well equipped. Outdoor patio was perfect for morning coffee and storing our bikes. Would happily recommend to anyone looking to stay!
