This house worked perfectly for our little family reunion (our family plus my sibs and their families) with two cousins and their dogs staying at a friends' place nearby. The kitchen was very well stocked and we took turns cooking dinners and hung out around the island a LOT. Beach walks just a few blocks away, grocery stores a different story but still manageable. Welcome cookies very much appreciated!
One of the tidiest and most pleasant houses we've ever rented. The only downside is that 3 of the rooms on the second floor share one tiny bathroom. Other than that it was just wonderful. Beautiful outdoor spaces, everything functional, very well stocked and tastefully decorated. The welcome cookies were delicious
Perfect house for all 7 of us, my wife and I, our 2 grown kids, daughter in-law and 2 grand kids. We had space to relax, hide out or play some games. The beach is a super short walk, close enough to hear the surf at night.
We did all our meals in the kitchen, it has all the right stuff to prep and serve meals.
House was very clean, on a quiet neighborhood street, and our entire family (age range from 4 to 74) all enjoyed the home & slept well in the very comfortable beds. A great family-friendly beach is a short walk away. Will definitely want reserve this spot again for a future family Santa Cruz getaway!
Great location near Twin Lakes State Beach.
House updated well.
A bit far from wharf and boardwalk and parking for guests a bit tricky on the small streets.
We rented this house for a long weekend, Grandparents plus 2 of their children and their families. Perfect! Amazing location, good layout... Good times!
Looking to get out of heat and enjoy family time at boardwalk ; was a fabulous time ! Great memories made ; perfect accommodations thank you again ! Would highly recommended
Thank you again Josh for your hospitality. We spent 5 memorable days at your Santa Cruz home. The amenities were excellent including towels, beds, and beach equipment. Every morning and evening walks to the beach we'll miss the most. BBQ and kitchen are top notch as we had all our meals there. Definitely a 10-star experience and we hope to return some day. Cordial neighbors too.
This home is amazing. A perfect spot for our family gathering. Main bedroom on the ground floor, for those who don’t do well with stairs. 3 bedrooms upstairs with tons of closet space. Separate apartment downstairs with full bath & kitchen. There’s a loft where our teenagers hung out.
This home is outfitted with everything you need to cook meals & enjoy visiting with friends/family. A quick stroll will get you to the beach. Owner was very communicative & accommodating. Great place to stay.
The home is beautiful and well appointed. This is our second year staying at the property. We had an amazing visit with friends. We cooked every night in the large kitchen and enjoyed eating out on the deck. It is a very short walk to the beach and the home had beach chairs and sand toys which the kids loved. The beds are all comfortable and everything was very clean. We look forward to another visit next year!
A 5 min walk to a great beach and some great restaurants. House is clean and spacious with some great landscaping. Different living spaces made it easy for our family with young kids.
* they do have a pack and play, beach chairs and some limited sand toys.
Overall, a great stay.
From the moment we drove up and opened the door it was fantastic! The home is by far the Best we’ve stayed at for 25+ years. An extra touch of fresh cookies on counter welcomed us. The home is clean, furnished nicely and stocked well. Josh, owner easy to work with and on his own reached out to inquire if we’d like a late check out. We also were able to check in early. Definitely would stay here again next year.
Our family of six adults and four children, ranging in age from
84 to 6, had no trouble making ourselves at home. Great location for family, lovely yard and decks. Everyone wants to come back.
House is as pictured and a great location within walking distance to food and coffee. Loved being able to walk to the ocean. The top floor gets a little warm during the day but we opened windows to help.
Great communication from the team and cookies and fresh flowers were a nice touch within the home!
We absolutely loved our stay in Santa Cruz! There were 10 adults and a couple of kids, and we all agreed that we wanted to come back next year! The mixture of individual space combined with comfortable gathering spots was perfect. Great deck, lovely fenced back yard, Great kitchen, short walk to the beach. Good communication with the owners and property manager. Really, it was the perfect vacation spot.
Beautiful home within a 5 minute walk to the beach. It is an older home that has been remodeled; great kitchen, delightful outdoor deck, and enough bedrooms and bathrooms to easily accommodate 3 generations of our family. Two separate living areas allowed the kids to enjoy games and the TV in the upstairs family room, while the adults could gather downstairs. We look forward to a repeat visit.
Our extended family of 9 rented this house for 4 nights. We couldn’t have been happier. The house is beautiful. Plenty of space. Beds are super comfy. We did a lot of cooking - the kitchen has everything you need.
Best part - 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach. We’d walk down with our coffees in the morning and watch the surfers.
Radiant heat floors in the master bathroom were a nice touch.
Owner was super accessible.
Zero complaints. Would definitely return.
