The perfect family gathering
This rental was the perfect place for our family scattered thru-out Cali and other state to get together. We rented entire building and our own parking was a life saver. The view and distance to wharf, boardwalk and downtown was amazing for walking. The weather was perfect, we enjoyed everything about our stay. kitchen, rooms, upstairs patios were amazing. So much room, we could all have our own space, yet gather for dinner and fun. Everything was clean and the beds were so comfortable. Management was so helpful and easy to work with. Thank you so much for making our family weekend such a wonderful experience. We would definitely do this again.

Family Reunion in Santa Cruz
Overall, this place was great. Location can't be beat. A little noise from the street, but as expected at this location. A couple of detractions. Two nice kitchens but not as well equipped as you might expect for "gourmet" kitchen and meals for a large number of guests. And the tile floors, while they looked clean, were dirty. We all noticed the bottoms of our feet were black just from walking inside. The host could not have been more helpful and accomodating. Service was the best!

Incredible Location for our Cousins Reunion
We booked the entire villa for our first cousins' reunion. That was a great decision. We loved the multiple open spaces for conversation, the location (just a short walk to the Santa Cruz Wharf and Cowell Beach), the rooftop deck with its expansive view, the fully equipped kitchens, the multiple enclosed parking spaces, the information provided in preparation for our visit… it was just the perfect place for the 15 of us to meet.

Why they chose this property

We designed this property and built it from the ground up in our favorite spot in Santa Cruz. Construction completed in October 2014. We used the finest building materials, and borrowed ideas on amenities from resorts we have visited around the world. There really isn't a better location to experience all the fun of Santa Cruz. The location puts in you a spot where you never have to get in your car to enjoy all that Santa Cruz has to offer. You could stay a month and not hit every restaurant in walking distance.

What makes this property unique

From the moment you drive up, you'll notice the arched toped hand hewn wooden doors, and when you step into your unit, you will find old world hand chiseled travertine stone floors through out. Enjoy your favorite drink from the bar in the kitchen, while watching the waves break on Cowells Beach. Dozen of restaurants are just outside your door, or if you like to cook, the Viking Range is professional quality. If you are travelling with Friends, you'll enjoy having two master suites, each with a kind size bed. We designed this property for our own enjoyment, and we hope you love it as much as we do!
