Really wonderful place with spectacular access to the beach. It also felt like a special experience to be staying in this historic cottage. Only small inconvenience is the original wooden architecture that makes it a bit noisy as humans move around the space as up/down the stairs. But, it was truly a small price to pay for a great space we enjoyed!

This was a super cute getaway for my birthday trip! The beach is steps away from the house and the rental host was very communicative. Will definitely come back and stay again!

We loved it here! It was comfortable for 5 of us plus our large dog. Super close to the beach and boardwalk. Probably my favorite VRBO that we’ve stayed at. Also enjoyed cooking on their Viking range made me feel like a chef. Breeze and fans help keep it cool. We will try to stay here again!

This home was in a good location. It’s central to a ton of places to go and things to do in all of Santa Cruz and surrounding areas, which was nice. The beach was just steps away! Can’t really beat that! The home is kind of small and it’s very old. Charming, and interesting but the age is felt throughout. Amenity wise it wasn’t really lacking in anything, just could use some more attention to detail overall.
