This property was exactly what we were looking for during our short stay to visit with our daughter. The home was very well stocked and comfortable for us all. It is so wonderful to stay in a home where it is clear the owner cares about our comfortability and Christine went above and beyond. Thank you, Christine, for providing such a wonderful property for us to stay in. The location was perfect. Quiet, yet close enough to take advantage of all that Santa Cruz has to offer. Exactly what I was looking for. Thank you! We look forward to coming back, next time for longer.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
We had a great time visiting some friends in Santa Cruz. The house was spacious and thoughtfully equipped. It had everything we needed, and a lot of additional useful things such as toys for our toddler to play with and a wagon for beach outings. Location was also central for everything we wanted to do.
