10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2026
We stayed at the property for 2 weeks. The house was as pictured/described. It was very clean and nicely appointed and well stocked with the basics and a few nice extras! It's easy to feel at home right away. The kitchen was especially nicely equipped with all the small appliances, cookware, utensils, bakeware, etc. needed for cooking and BBQing (we only ate out a few times). The garage was stocked with beach chairs, umbrellas, beach towels, beach wagon and sand toys which was much appreciated. The house is a short walk to the beach so we definitely used the beach items. The hot tub was great - very clean and a nice feature after a long day! Lastly, the host was great and very responsive on any communication. I would definitely recommend this property and look forward to staying here again.

We rented this property for my daughter's graduation from UCSC and it was terrific. The house was perfect for our family and extended family, and so conveniently located to the beach and downtown Santa Cruz. We were extremely impressed and appreciative of how well-equipped the house was for all of our various needs, whether it was trips to the beach or hosting a family dinner. We especially enjoyed the large central room and backyard patio for our family gathering. Thank you such an enjoyable stay in your wonderful home.
