Location to the Beach Boardwalk can not be beat! We celebrated my son’s 18th birthday and let him invite friends. The four boys took over the downstairs living area while my husband, daughter and I stayed upstairs. We were blessed with beautiful weather and roasted S’mores on the fire pit in the back. Highly recommend this place for families going to the Boardwalk! Spacious, plenty of seating indoors and outdoors.

The location is wonderful. Very close to beach and boardwalk and in a clean, safe neighborhood with stunning views from the expansive, well furnished balcony. It is not fancy inside but extremely clean and comfortable with two living rooms and a table for 10. Lauren texted the day before to make sure we had access information and was very helpful and friendly.

We had a wonderful stay! The indoor and outdoor dining area and balcony patio with the viewer spectacular! The bedrooms and beds were very comfortable, with plenty of bedding. Great washer and dryer! Having two water heaters was awesome. Having full size laundry was very handy since we were in town for a race. Our host has a nice closet set up with laundry detergent batteries extra cleaning supplies shampoo conditioner etc. Plenty of hand soap. Much appreciated.A couple of quirky things that might need some attention would be a coffee maker that spit grounds into our coffee and the kitchen is a bit disorganized. Also, there are two metal sheet pans, neither of which actually fit into the oven that is there, so that was a bit of an issue, we made it work somewhat sideways and tilted. There are some mismatched lids etc. Otherwise no complaints whatsoever. We would gladly stay in this home again and we so enjoyed our friends and family in the space. Thank you!

Great house near the Beach Boardwalk

This was a great house near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Since you could walk there, you don’t have to pay for parking and they don’t charge admission, so you could go anytime, very convenient. The house itself is a little older, but still really nice even though it’s screaming to be upgraded. Great deck with a great view. No TV in the living room which was annoying and refreshing at the same time. Needs to have some sort of Bluetooth sound system though. All in all, the house was everything we needed it to be. But the location was the best part.

Great location for Boardwalk

We walked twice to the Boardwalk with our kids, 4 and 8 and it was so easy. We walked to the park behind and up through the neighborhood of lovely historical mansions with their beautifully fragranced manicured gardens spilling into the sidewalk... Walked to 2 restaurants for dinners (5-6 blocks) and to the market for supplies (this walk was about 1/2 mi. ea way) Love the city lights at night. Beds are decent...kitchen definitely needs upgraded...we like to cook and this worked out fine.

In Santa Cruz for a wedding

My husband and I and two adult daughters (not their spouses or college age kids) enjoyed ourselves in this perfect for us place. We were busy with festivities so spent little time “at home”. Would have liked to spend time on that great deck. It was a little chilly though.
