Outstanding location - we walked to the beach and the Boardwalk with the kids. It was great to have a wagon and boogie boards, and there were lots of things for the kids to play with. The kitchen was well equipped. Very easy to check in; great parking.

The property was very spacious but separated into 3 levels. Overall the space was clean but the walls, ceiling fans etc. could definitely use a deep clean. It is walking distance from the beach by a few blocks and there’s great spots for coffee and good. Would definitely book again

Great stay nice kitchen plenty of sleeping areas and 2 and a half bathrooms. The only negative was it was hot in Santa Cruz so the loft got pretty warm, the owners had fans which helped quite a bit. That was just bad luck on our part , it’s not usually that hot there. We a great stay a very nice place.

The property includes everything needed for a great vacation. It was clean, very tastefully decorated, and in a great location. Having two assigned parking places is an added bonus. We did not do any cooking besides heating takeout but the kitchen is well equipped. Communication with the owner was easy and timely. We had a very enjoyable six night stay.

We enjoyed our 4 day stay and only wish it was longer. The house had everything you could possibly need & lots of extra thoughtful touches. House was spotless & the kids loved the loft. It was a very short walk to the beach & boardwalk. Location quiet and everyone slept well in comfortable beds. We had plenty of extra towels blankets etc…. Will definitely love to come back next summer! Communication with host excellent. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.
