Sweet space, comfortable and clean

We enjoyed our stay. Very comfortable, appreciated the amenities. Comfortable beds, nice linens. 2 friendly cats live on the property Our only issue was with parking. It's street parking and a bear to find any space. Would be nice to share the driveway parking. Other than that, the place and location are great!

Excellent location for exploring Santa Cruz by foot and bike

I was looking for a nice, clean, safe spot for the weekend where by daughter and her boyfriend could venture off on foot on their own and I could do my own exploring. This property definitely fit the bill. I used one of the beach cruisers on the property to explore the west side of Santa Crus while the teens went to the boardwalk. I parked my car nearby using the parking pass and didn't need to move it again. The house was clean and tidy, the kitchen pretty well equipped and bedrooms comfortable. I also appreciate how responsive the owners were. Thanks!

A great place to stay!

While my daughter and I stayed here for just a short time, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The apartment is easily accessed and very comfortable. It is also situated within easy walking distance of both the center of town and the Boardwalk. I highly recommend it!

Great Santa Cruz location for families!

The hosts are great communicators and ready to customize for your family needs, including small children. Easy walk to very cool Pacific Ave! Walkable to Beach & Boardwalk, or also easy to load up the car, if you prefer, due to ample parking. Great full kitchen. We'll be back!!

Amazing family getaway

Has everything you need for family travels! Our 6 year old thoroughly enjoyed the toys and air mattress for a fort sleepover in the living room. I loveeee the modern amenities, coffee and tea plus amazingly warm shower. Super thankful for our host! Can’t wait to come back again! Thanks Ashlie :)

Great for children

The house had a lot of toys that my 3 year old daughter could play with and I thought that was a really great addition that a lot of other short term rentals don’t have. Only problem I have would be the parking. You have to find parking on the street and it gets pretty full
