The Perfect Local Getaway
We had the most amazing 5 days at this rental. Walkable to anything you needed, nestled in a gorgeous neighborhood in SC. We're from the west side so it was really fun to stay in upper Seabright. Our pup LOVED sitting on the small deck. We will definitely be back!

Nice visit to Santa Cruz
This unit worked perfectly for us during our recent trip to visit family in Santa Cruz. It was well equipped, and in a quiet neighborhood. The toys and high chair were a nice bonus for our two year old niece, who came over to visit us.

Would have been a great stay but…
the refrigerator made a very strange noise. It woke me two mornings as the master bedroom is close to the kitchen/refrigerator. Tennant in the back unit was very rude. Slamming garage door several times and parked travel van in the middle of the driveway leaving me to drive onto the curb to get in and out of the driveway.

Great stay in Santa Cruz
This unit was the perfect spot for my daughter and I in a quiet neighborhood. It was close to the Boardwalk-15 minute walk. It was also close to some great restaurants. The property manager kept in touch to make sure that our stay was pleasant. Very clean with a well stocked kitchen. Will book again
