We had a great stay ! The communication was excellent and we had zero issues during our stay! Beautiful views were enjoyed each morning on the deck with coffee and in the evening, we loved the night sky from the deck. The house was as described and was perfect for our family wedding weekend. Would recommend for others.

Lauren was a very communicative host and very compassionate when we had some family issues. I really appreciated her kindness. The place was perfect for our multi generational getaway with babies, parents and grandparents. Santa Cruz is an expensive place to visit, but beautiful, lits to do, and so much fun. This was a perfect place for us. Many thanks.

Everything was exactly as advertised and more than comfortable for our family. Having a master bedroom on the entry level was perfect for our 94-year-old parents and the downstairs bedroom with the king size bed, living area and bathroom was perfect for my husband and I to relax later in the evening after the elderly parents went to bed. We could watch a little TV and comfort without feeling like we were disturbing anybody. Kitchen had everything that we needed so staying in and cooking was a pleasure. Communication with the host was excellent. The neighborhood was quiet. The parking was easy and the view out the back was beautiful. Also walking distance to see Bright Beach was only .3 miles so even our 94-year-old parents were able to walk there with there walkers. The walk to the boardwalk was also not far. All in all an excellent location that I would happily rent again if I was going to be in the area.

We liked that he place had bikes to ride and the downstairs space was so large. 2 of the 3 bathrooms had tubs and that’s always a plus for us!We didn’t cook so we can’t speak to that, but the kitchen had plenty of plates, glasses and cork screw!The walk to the beach was easy and short!
