The location is the biggest asset of this home—it’s so stunning and hard to beat. For 4 couples this rental worked out well. We cooked a lot and the kitchen had pretty much everything we needed. We loved being able to walk to the Swift Street breweries and restaurants and Marianne’s ice cream on Fair Ave was such a treat. Everyone agreed we’d love to stay here again!

Our Family of 6 adults and 2 young kids had a wonderful and relaxing weekend at this home on West Cliff Drive. The home delivered on the scenic views of the ocean. Beaches, tide pools and restaurants are a very short drive or a short walk away. The weekend went by fast; we would love to return again for a longer stay.

Excellent property.The only concern was that the listing showed one bedroom with THREE twin beds. There were only TWO twin beds in that bedroom. Our 12 year old grandson had to sleep on the sofa in the living room and not in the bedroom with our other grandchildren as planned.Luckily he was only there for 2 days due to sports commitments.Please revise your listing.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed the property overall and appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We’re sorry for the confusion regarding the twin beds. The bedroom shown with three twin beds includes two standard twin beds plus a twin trundle bed, which is stored underneath and can be pulled out for use. We understand that this may not have been clear upon arrival, and we will review the listing photos and description to make sure this detail is communicated as clearly as possible for future guests. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve the guest experience. We hope to have the chance to welcome you and your family back in the future.

Great views as well as great Santa Cruz location

We loved this property, the views from the living room and master bedroom balcony. Enough space for our 3 kids and friend to spread out and have their own space, with plenty of bathrooms for all. Loved the access to the biking/walking trail across the street, closeness to the Boardwalk and also loved heading to Natural Bridges beach to explore the tide pools.

Loved waking up to a view of the ocean every day. The house was roomy for our family and having the TV in the 2nd living room was nice for the children. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking.

Great Stay, Despite the Weather

Our group of 9 had a great stay here this past weekend, while celebrating birthdays for two family members. The weather was wet and windy, but offered enough breaks to enjoy the nearby coastal walking path, some local parks, excellent meals out and a great trip to the nearby Seymour Marine Discovery Center. The house was definitely big enough for us all to spread out in, and offered plenty of space for games, puzzles, group meals and other activities while the rain poured outside.

Excellent property!

We had a fabulous time. If anything, the property described undersells it, as there are 4 full bathrooms, not 3 1/2. The kitchen is well-stocked with dinnerware, candles, placemats, and a lot of linens and towels. We held several dinners with 9+ easily and the ocean view and boardwalk/beach access were great! We'll be back!

Great property but the property manager was not responsive.

The house was great and a fantastic location, but we ended up leaving a day early because the power went out. It was out for hours and it became clear that it was unlikely to be restored so we left. The property manager did absolutely nothing to address the situation and couldn’t even bother to return my phone calls at any point over the past few weeks. We also only had one key on check-in and there was no garage door opener. The owner was kind enough to bring us a second key. Great property but useless property management.

Response from VrboOwner on 2 July 2023
Due to the storms, we had homes all over the county lose power. Many of our guests were compensated for the nights lost. Our property manager attempted to reach out to this guest multiple times to negotiate a refund. She graciously gave Megan her personal cell phone to be reached. Bailey Property Management will always try to advocate for our guets when they deserve a refund. We find this review unfair.

What a great view

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Six guys, all eighty year old, on an annual retreat spent a week at this house. The view was amazing! The interior had just been painted and the furniture and decorations went well for the ocean location. A Safeway was close by which added to the convenience. We walked the bike path every day which was very popular with the locals.

Ideal location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This roomy home is ideal for two families and sleeps eight comfortably. There are ten chairs for the dining table, and plenty of plates. (Main set of dishes has gold rim on dinner plates, that don’t work in microwave.) Ample pots and pans for family meals. Check propane supply well before planned barbeque meal.The views and access to West Cliff walks (and Almar Shopping Center) are wonderful. It’s a short walk to Natual Bridges beach and tidepools and easy drive up to Wilder.

Wonderful Family Vacation Home

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were six adults and two children and this house provided us with plenty of room to spread out and enjoy ourselves. Of course, the location directly across from the ocean was a highlight. And the extra fridge in the garage was a lifesaver. Don't count on functional bikes being available, bring your own. There's plenty of garage space to store things.
