Beautiful home, very clean, short walk to the beach and close to restaurants and Starbucks! Very good communication and house was easy to access. I also loved they had everything in the kitchen stocked, would definitely recommend!
This house is the absolute best! From the location and views to the beautiful interior and stocked kitchen … we simply can’t say enough about this house! It was so clean! So luxurious! We had a magical stay and Renee is truly amazing! 10 stars!
Pictures on the website does not fully describe how spacious, welcoming and pleasant amenities and the house interior are! Second floor offers a very special sunrise and sunset experience. This is a place where one can truly disconnect from Monday to Friday hustle.
What makes it truly special is Renee (host) and her staff! A very good communication, overall hospitality and proper expectations is what one should expect from the host. Her going extra mile, caring and doing the kind thing is what we will remember from our stay.
Our daughter lost a special earring given to her by an aunt who move away. The cleaning staff found it, gave that to Renee who in return return it to us.
Thank you Renee once again for sharing your house and we appreciate your hospitality and kindness!
Be well!
Wonderful home with plenty of room and beautiful amenities. Short walk to the beach too. My son /daughter-in-law enjoyed their stay with their children and other family members.
We loved this home and wanted to stay longer than our 2 nights it was so perfect. The house is really stunning, the great room (kitchen/living room) has doors that open up which feels like you are inside/outside. Its beautifully decorated/furnished and has everything you need for your stay. Including boogie boards, beach cart etc. The owner was fantastic and made our check-in easy. Location is fantastic, one street over is access to the beach, its nice as you don't have all the cars coming down the street as a dead end so nice and quiet. Beach is 5 minute walk. Lovely Italian, taco, Hawaiian and Starbucks all within a few minutes walk. Would love and plan to stay here again.
I was so impressed, we take a family vacation every year. I always carry my own cleaning products with me. I did not need those here. The home was so comfortable! Beds were comfortable, kitchen was fantastic! Beach was close. Views were gorgeous! I hope to return to this property in the future. Renee is a perfect host! Very helpful, and very concerned with our needs.
Renee, the host, was extremely accomodating and responsive. We have nothing but good things to say about the place. The weather was fabulous the week we stayed so that made it even more fantastic. I would highly recommend.
The house was beautifully furnished and gave just a great sign for our shelter in place Father’s Day weekend. The location was ideal away from crowns close to the beach Starbucks in the farmers market on Sunday. Renee was outstanding with every detail and every request highly recommend this property for overall experience!
Very well appointed, clean, and well laid out house. Perfect for family getaways!
Well located close to the beaches and Boardwalk at the end of a quiet street. Recent new construction, very clean, nice, and well laid out. Owner was great to work with!
This rental was a home run for my family. The home is gorgeous and each bedroom is relaxing and unique for each of our guests.
The kitchen was awesome to cook in and with views and large doors that open to the ocean - with the nights ending outside over the fire pit. Lots of beach toys and gear made the outside time fun and easy.
We hope to be back soon!
This home is beautiful and is close to the beach. We enjoyed our time at the house, and at the beach. Thank you for sharing your home and beautiful created memories...
It was a great house and fit all of us comfortably. It was a heatwave in Santa Cruz (over 100) but the house was nice when we opened it up. It is a short walk to the beach that we did a couple of times a day. I would recommend staying here!
Big kitchen and family area to enjoy family & friends. Great location with ocean views from the top floor. Close walk to the beach and local attractions. Really fun using the fire pit for s'mores and family time.
Excellent property for our annual family beach trip. Beautiful, modern, clean and very well equipped with everything you would need for time at the beach. Beach view and just a short walk to beach access. Highly recommended!
We were 3 couples who were here for a week to attend US Open. We could not have picked a better property, beautifully appointed with perfect amount of space, and lovely location with ocean views! We found we liked hanging here almost as much as attending the tournament! Would definitely rent again, and would be great fir bringing grandkids here too! Highly recommend!

Beautiful house, wonderful host
The house is beautiful, and the ocean view is amazing. The heating/cooling system could be better (gets too warm in day but no a/c, gets too cold in night but the radiant heat doesn't appear to work or at least we couldn't figure it out). But I'm not sure if those issues are specific to this house or typical of other houses in this area. Either way, we had a great time. Renee (the host) was super helpful and always responsive to text messages before and after our stay. Will definitely look to stay here if we visit Santa Cruz again!
This home was stunning and had everything we needed. Beautiful furnishings and great proximity to the beach and great views!
