Great location and clean inside the apartment. Beautiful view! Communicative and helpful hosts. Small improvements could make this place a solid 5. Suggested improvements: Lighting on the outside at the step (currently it has to be triggered around the corner after the steps), a bed frame that is not on wheels (bed itself is comfortable), a solution for the ant problem, new carpet/paint in dank stairwell, and a bedside lamp/table on right side of the bed (I had to buy a clip light so we could both read). A clean up outside would be nice too (the beach chairs are dirty and worn). Everything else is great! We enjoyed our stay overall and would stay again.

Gorgeous location! - The view from the breakfast nook is a beautiful way to start each morning. -The neighbors around us were kind, the entire street was quiet. -The condo itself is maybe a 2 minute walk to the a cove and multiple beach entrances. The condo itself was clean and comfortable - including the bed. -The fans and heater were appreciated for the cool mornings and the one warm night we had. -The windows are operational. - Typical kitchen supplies is provided. Overall a lovely location with great host. We will definitely be back.

My hubby & I plus our fur baby (our cat) enjoyed this wonderful, perfect amazing view of the ocean apartment. It absolutely perfect for 2 our four people. The pics are what you see when you arrive. Excellent communication with the host, plus our neighbors were just friendly & warm greetings:) The view of the ocean is how I would picture it to be. Our cat LOVED IT! Not too many places offer the welcome of cats. So much to do plus everything you need in walking distance. Had delicious bar b que from Cole's Bar B Que. We stayed for 2 nights during 4th of July weekend. The beach was not even far to walk to either. This place is a gem! So happy we found this on VRBO! Much appreciation to Diana for her wonderful communication we me through text. We are so looking forward to going back again.

It has a lot of space, modern amenities and actually all the amenities I could want in the kitchen, including a toaster oven. The location is superb because it's around the corner from Sunny cove, which means it's close, but on a street with no beach goers-- So it's quiet. (The bedroom windows do look out onto the street so there are some noises.) The dining area window looks over the neighbors roof, to the ocean! The other part of that corner window looks out into an empty lot so there is perfect privacy. Note: You have to go through the bedroom to get to the bathroom so this is mostly ideal for a couple.

We liked our stay at the upstairs penthouse. It was a short walk to the dog beach. The morning view goes with your favorite coffee. We will come back next chance we get. If you're a party of two with a small pet. we definitely recommend.

This beach house is excellent. Short walking distance to the beach. The view is great. The bed is very comfortable. There is a full kitchen that make it easy to plan your own meals.Bit the best part of this unit is its owner and how they go out of their way to make sure you have a great time! Thank You!

The location and check in process was great. The very displeased with the cleanliness. Underneath the paper towel holder, there was an infestation of ants and larva, which I ended up having to clean up initially there were ants in the bathroom in the tub. There were cobwebs everywhere like it had not been dusted in sometimes we were unable to use the pullout couch, as it would not open properly, I did message the owner. She sent someone over to do a clean and replace the paper towel holder. I also contacted her about how to use the couch. She said it should come right out, but it never did. For the price I was displeased with the cleanliness, and even though ants are a normal thing the larva and infestation underneath the towel rack was not normal.

My son requested a beach vacation for his 5th birthday and this ocean view house was the perfect spot for us to stay just 10-12 minutes from the boardwalk. One bedroom and a pull out couch. Check in instructions were detailed and made the process very easy. Would stay here again

Nice house, with easy accessibility. Walking distance to beach with outside shower for sand washoff. The only downside was that there was no soap/ shampoo/ conditioner in the bathroom and no broom to sweep the floor, which was bothersome. Other than that it was a great experience!

My husband and I (with our two kids) really enjoyed our stay! Beautiful views with just a small walk to the beach. We have stayed in this area many times with our extended family but loved being in a new location with just our kids. Unit was fully stocked with everything we needed. Only a couple minutes walk to a beautiful beach and Starbucks was about a 3 minute walk. Perfect for our family!

10.0 / 10.0

The property had everything I needed. It seemed dusty when I arrived, like no one had been there for a while, but that didn't detract from my stay. I just cleaned the counters and the table. The bed was good, the shower good (low pressure, but ok to conserve water), kitchen equipped. Waking up to the view was fabulous even though the weather was cold and wet. It made up for any possible disappointments!!! I appreciated being able to check in 1/2 hour early after reaching the contact person about that. Might be more accurate to call the back door green rather than blue, but the codes worked, so it didn't matter. Thanks for a nice stay!

For someone who likes to view the ocean, walk on the beach and be around a friendly neighborhood community with restaurants around this is your spot! Stay 3 nights instead of 2.

We had a great stay. Great location. Privacy. Never saw landlord. Bed moves and makes noise. Would be nice if bed was not on wheels. We were able to stabilize it with chairs and towels. Other than that we really recommend this as a couple place to stay in Santa Cruz. 5 stars.

I would definitely recommend this cozy little spot. A beautiful view in the living space and plenty of room. It's located conveniently close to pleasure point if you love to surf. The property managers were very responsive throughout my stay. Wonderful experience here, wish I could stay for longer!

We loved this place soooo much! I’m looking to book again soon! It’s quintessential old California!! The ocean is 45 second walk and you hear it when you sleep! The local beach is a 2 minute walk! It’s literally amazing!!! The bed is phenomenal! I’m a personal chef and the kitchen is phenomenal and went to lots of little grocery stores and seafood places to make wonderful meals in the awesome kitchen while seeing the ocean!

Meh, location was good, so overall ok, not worth the price

Meh, location was good, so overall ok, not worth the price

Pros; location to Sunny Cove, view of ocean from kitchen window, updated kitchen counter n cabinets. Cons, had to use flashlight to figure out entry upon arrival at night, stairway up to 2nd floor unit;(smelly, cheap dirty carpet), bathroom in need of upgrade, kitchen pans provided we’re chipped cheap Teflon, cooking utensils cheap quality, noisy outside bedroom, outdoor furniture not clean, person who lives on first floor underneath unfriendly, shared washer dryer area gross. Next time I’ll go back to the Bella Notte
