8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
This was our second year staying at this beach house in Santa Cruz, and we already hope to come back again next year! The house is always clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location with easy access to everything we wanted to do. The parking makes it a real steal for the location. We walked to the beach everyday and music on the beach at night.It has just about everything you need for a relaxing stay. The only thing to note is that you'll want to bring your own condiments and pantry basics, as those aren't provided. Other than that, the kitchen is well-equipped, and the home is thoughtfully stocked with everything you need and for going to the beach (towels, chairs, toys)We've had another wonderful stay and highly recommend this beach house to anyone looking for a comfortable, well-maintained place to enjoy Santa Cruz. We're already looking forward to our next visit!

Property was great! Very clean and many basic amenities provided. Well stocked kitchen and plenty of towels. Great location, just up from Twin Lakes beach and an easy 30 minute walk to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and rides. The host was great and very communicative. We will definitely return to the area and hope this unit is available when we do! Mahalo!
