House was perfect for a girls weekend in Santa Cruz!

More time on the ocean

The house location is ideal for walking, biking to different beaches. Short bike ride to East Cliff pleasure point for surfing. House is fantastically uniquely Santa Cruz with contemporary amenities. We loved every day of our week stay!

Awesome Beach House Close to everything

My family and I stayed at this house for Labor Day Weekend and I cant say enough good things about it. The house has an awesome layout, great kitchen, two balconies and also Ocean view from the loft. This place is great as its literally a 10 minute drive from the boardwalk and also close to Capitola. I would highly recommend this house .

4th of July week

Everything was great, kids loved the house, location was perfect and the host was on point. My only feedback would be the bed in the Master bedroom was hard as a rock and after a week my wife and I felt like Fred and Wilma Flintstone which is the only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars all around.

Plenty of Room for the Family

Great location. The washer and dryer were convenient. We were able to walk to the beach. There are a few things that could be better. The dishes are old and chipped. There were ants all over the countertops. The master shower needs to be power washed. The dishwasher had problems. The lighting in the kitchen and dining area was too dark.

Quirky House Pet Friendly Dirty

The house is fun, neighborhood great. Lots of cleanliness issues - dirty toothbrush in one of the beds, filthy bath nonslip mat in downstairs bathroom, dirty skillet in cabinet, dirty knife in knife block and completely unresponsive host. VRBO even tried to reach her wo success and then said it was just an advertising service and could not do more. Ridiculous.

Well Stocked

This kitchen had the most variety of things available to cook with in any house we have rented. Really appreciated having some serving bowls to use instead of a metal pot for salad (last house). I REALLY appreciate there being toilet paper, tin foil, plastic wrap, zip lock bags. Teenage and young adults kids loved it! Girls really liked the lights on the deck. We enjoyed a fire. Girls used their own Eno hammocks in the back yard. I wish we could have stayed longer. Owner was MOST helpful. No extra rental agent fees! Pleasure Point was the place to be for us.

Annual Santa Cruz Family trip

We have stayed at this property on previous occasions. This is an annual trip for many years and generations. We tend to stay in the same area and are trying to find a new annual location. While we like the property, the beds have significantly gone down hill. The larger beds are no longer acceptable as it feels as though you are hitting box springs. Mold around the facets especially lower bathroom is not acceptable. The barbeque as in previous stay was really gross and unclean. Given the price per night, better mattresses and cleaner bathrooms, etc. are expected.

Perfect for dog owners

We go to Santa Cruz at the end of summer every year. This was my favorite property so far. The house is well stocked. Plenty of towels, the kitchen has all you need. There are 2 balconies that are lovely for morning coffee or evening wine. Wagon and beach toys in the garage. The house has multiple levels and stairs, but we appreciated some separation from our noisy boys. The beach is only 5 or so houses down. This is a very dog friendly beach, and our dogs loved it! The location is absolutely perfect. My only complaint is the bed in the master was a little firm for my taste. Overall, this is a large house with lots of room, and the location combined with being pet friendly is awesome!

Great Stay Christmas 2018.

Great location! Steps away from cliff views and close to walk on beaches. We spent Christmas with our family of 6 plus 2 kids. Plenty of beds and parking for our 3 vehicles. There are lots of stairs, which allows a nice view from the loft, but can be a challenge for older guests or babies. Great kitchen for cooking meals together. Would definitely return!
