Oceanside Victorian Cottage Located On Scenic West Cliff Drive

***PLEASE NOTE: Minimum stay is 4 nights. Special pricing given for stays of 31 nights or more, and no taxes are charged for stays of this duration. Strictly no smoking property.***

Less than 250 steps to the closest coastal access and world class surf, close to downtown, and easy and scenic 10 minute walk to the world famous Boardwalk, Santa Cruz main beach, and municipal wharf. The garden cottage is very charming, and is located on the grounds of historic landmark home, Epworth-by-the-sea. The unit was originally built in the late 1800's, and was used as a caretaker's cottage. It comes fully furnished, and includes extended basic cable and dedicated WiFi access. Pets are welcome for additional fee if arranged in advance. Modern amenities with the charm of a bygone era.

Great Stay in Santa Cruz

We loved staying in this cottage. It is located near West Cliff and the boardwalk, yet set out of the way, where you have more peace and privacy. Our elderly dog had a great time sniffing the sea air on the patio. Khristina is a perfect host.

Delightful

Victorian on the outside, clean, comfortable, and modern inside. As 80 year old visitors, there are a couple of items, especially grab bars in the bathroom, we would like, but we managed. We could hear the seal lions day and night, and walk to both the lighthouse, or to the waterfront. Beautiful neighborhood, great restaurants nearby!

Radiant floor heat did not work properly and we were very cold. No landing space in bath. Needs lamps overhead lighting glaring. Closets crowded with stuff.

Can’t imagine staying anywhere else!

After spending 5 nights in this delightful cottage, we cannot imagine staying anywhere else when we are in Santa Cruz. The location is fantastic. The host is beyond first rate and the cottage is better stocked than any of the many places we have stayed. Cozy, comfortable with a great bathroom! Couldn’t ask for anything more.

Spring Break

Lovely place to stay and a great location. Perfect for a couple. Only thing to consider changing is the couch. Extremely hard and uncomfortable. Otherwise, the place perfect. Loved the closed in patio. Beautiful bathroom too!

Privacy at the Beach

Being at a cozy cottage, just steps from the beach and boardwalk was a chance to enjoy the sun and fun as well as have a quiet and peaceful private cottage to relax and rest to get ready for the next day.

Perfect location, gorgeous property for small family or couple

We absolutely loved staying on the Westside here! It's an easy walk down the hill to the Boardwalk, only slightly longer to all the restaurants and shops downtown, and if you prefer just to walk along the bay away from the crowds the east cliff walkway is at your doorstep. Yet the property was extremely quiet and everything was top notch. Would highly recommend!

3 sisters had a reunion by the beach.

We could hear the ocean and the seals barking. We walked to the beach to watch the sunset, and to the boardwalk for dinner. Lovely cottage, beautiful area. The host was great. Highly recommend!
