The host was responsive with my questions and instructions on arrival and departure. The neighborhood is quiet with good restaurants nearby and you can be on the beach within a five minute walk. Parking out front, a charming little backyard and stars at night. It was great.

Great stay! We enjoyed the cottage. Very close to twin lakes beach. The road was closed for us to easily access the boardwalk so we did have to drive further. The couch seemed very worn out. Everything else was great.

we have stayed at numerous properties in and around Santa Cruz over the last 30 years and this one ranked right up at the top. The hosts were phenomenal with their level of communication. The property was super clean, cozy, and exactly what was depicted within the pictures on the VRBO website.

Fantastic place!

We stayed here with our two adult daughters and dog for 3 nights at Christmastime — it was a cozy haven where we enjoyed walks to the beach, playing board games, cooking and soaking in the hot tub. Spotlessly clean and the owners couldn’t have been more hospitable, very easy communication. Highly recommend!
