"We really enjoyed our stay here. The unit was spacious, well-appointed, and very private (thanks to its location in the last building in the development, which meant looking out only at the dunes & not other buildings). The kitchen had every pot and pan we needed, the pantry was nicely stocked, and the beds were supremely comfortable. Plus, the owners were very pro-active and communicative, both before and during our stay. All in all, a delightful visit!"

"Beautiful views of the ocean throughout the home. I enjoyed the endless walks on the beach and drifting off to the pounding of the waves. The home was well equipped with anything you needed for a peaceful beach escape. The children enjoyed fun in the sand and investigating all sorts of items the tide left behind. My only suggestion would be to bring a baby gate for the stairwell if traveling with toddlers under age 5. We were able to block access by moving the couch. This vacation home...

"Joe was an excellent host and great communicator. Got an email from him early the day of check in that place was ready and we could check in early. The only issue I have is saying place is ocean view is a bit of a stretch. You can see the ocean on the horizon through the trees etc. There is no real view. You will be in your car to go to beach and restaurants as its beyond what most people would walk. Its 30 plus minutes to walk to beach and if you wanted a chair or cooler or any such thing its...

"This little place nestled in the redwoods is the absolute perfect spot to spend a weekend. (Or longer - I really debated calling out of work and booking a couple of extra nights.) Cozy space that’s perfect for 1-2 people, super close to Soquel, Capitola, and Santa Cruz, if you feel like leaving, and if you don’t, one of the patios, the hammock, or your room with the windows open so you can hear the creek are ideal for decompressing."

"We three adults stayed here for 2 nights. It was charming and in a good location. Having the bathroom attached to the bedroom was ok for us but not great. The sofa bed in the living room was broken. I managed ok on it but a large person and certainly 2 would not. It's a sweet place for up to 3-4 people if they share a bed--definitely cozy--(great shower!)"
