Great Amenities, Location and OODLES of Charm!
We stayed for a long weekend. The house is really fun with three different, separately fenced areas. There were lots of thoughtful touches throughout the home like a bowl and dog toy for our dog, plenty of pillows, throws, umbrellas, and beautiful art. The kitchen had everything you could think of and then some. In fact, the whole house just has art and pillows and textures everywhere. The hot tub was lovely and we used it every evening. I gave my twin boys the big master in the front and I took the smaller bedroom with the hot tub right off the patio. I wasn't sure from the listing, but there are two bathrooms. The neighborhood was fairly quiet for SC, though it should be noted that there is a back unit and if it's rented, those strangers will be coming through your sideyard where there are a lot of windows. I think the back unit also allows dogs, because there was a little, yappy dog back there every morning about 7 a.m. I didn't mind as I'm an early riser, but just wanted to warn. The only thing this charming, cute little cottage is missing is a nightstand in the smaller bedroom. That would be a nice touch. (Oh and don't forget to buy one of the beautiful cards in the kitchen! They are gorgeous!)

Awesome stay
Everything is top notch. Sara and all the things she does to make your stay comfortable from luxury linens to treats ( both human and for dog) to beautiful gardens to her beautiful artwork and providing a relaxing atmosphere are more than expected. We have stayed here many times and plan to return soon.

Our favorite getaway!
We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this is our favorite. We have had the pleasure of visiting multiple times and enjoyed each one. The neighborhood is quiet, the gardens are beautiful, the decor is peppered with original art and comfy furnishings and Sara, the host, is wonderful. The King size bed is just right and the shower in the back bedroom is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and we have cooked everything from tacos to chili to pasta and fish. We all enjoyed the treats provided by Sara and our dog enjoys the fenced in front yard and walks in the neighborhood. There are plenty of restaurants close by and some within walking distance. We are looking forward to our next stay in a month or so.

About the host

Hosted by Sara Allshouse

Host profile image
Santa Cruz has always been a magical place for me . As a child my family and I came here in the summers with my aunts, uncles and cousins. Memories of the Boardwalk, sandy beaches, and beautiful surroundings is something I've never tired of. I have lived in Santa Cruz for 42 yrs. and counting. I enjoy riding horses, gardening, painting. photography, and walks along the beach with my dog. I do portraits of animals and people in Pastels, Oils & Acylics.

Why they chose this property

I loved that Magnolia Garden Bungalow is close to many beaches and Capitola Village! The street is very quite, which is great for sleeping in. And if you like to walk to restaurants, there's a choice of just about every style and taste. Along with a nearby brewery and outdoor seating to bring your dog along .

What makes this property unique

The Gardens creat a privacy and tranquility with Teak garden furniture and tables. My guests comment that the interior feels like a home away from home. I'm also happy to report many compliments on the mattresses being so comfortable!! I source linen & bedding from luxury brands. It's centrally located near the beach in a quite peaceful neighborhood. Capitola Village is 5 minutes away. The 38th Ave. Surf Sanctuary/Bike path is a great place for a walk along the cliffs on the ocean. Restaurants; EastSide Eatery, NuBo Brewery, Penny Ice Creamery,Verve Coffee Roasting, Cliff Cafe, Whole Foods, TraderJoe's, Theaters,Shopping etc., all a short stroll away.
