Perfect beach house

We were able to gather family from nearby and far away over the course of a week. We came to appreciate the floor plan because it provided nice spaces for privacy and spaces to gather for football or kid TV. Hope we can return.

Great place for a beach vacation

Wonderful primary bedroom suite, basement finished with bunk beds, additional bedroom, bathroom, laundry, and separate TV room. A block from the beach, a short walk from the big Boardwalk amusement park. Garage is converted to a storage/ man cave with couches, TV, wet suits, bikes, and beach stuff. This place was perfect for my daughter and two boys to enjoy Santa Cruz beaches and visit the Monterey aquarium.

Fantastic location, great communication

You really cant get a better location in terms of walkability to beach, harbor, etc. Great set up for extended family with a floor separating aleeping areas, making it ideal for mix of older family and kids. Host has a garage full of bikes, toys, wetsuits, boogie boards and they are in good repair. Host was also a great commjnicator. She was friendly, professional and flexible. I highly recommend the place.

Great beach house

It is a great beach house. They supplied everything you need for the beach and more. Wet suits, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys. Very nice kitchen and very well stocked! Bathrooms were nice. The downstairs TV area is dark and the bedrooms are dark and small. But the beds we’re comfortable. There was laundry facilities. The location couldn’t have been better!!! I highly recommend it!

We had a great stay at this home. It's location is perfect for us; near the beach and all our favorite places. The host was very responsive when we had questions. There's plenty of space. The outside area seems like it would be wonderful in the summer. We were here in the winter so didn't spend time just sitting outside.

We had an amazing stay at this home and can’t recommend it enough. It’s just a few houses from the beach, yet what stood out most was how comfortable and inviting it felt. Every detail and amenity was thoughtfully provided, even a white-noise machine in the master bedroom, which was such a pleasant surprise. We would absolutely stay here again and give it our highest recommendation.
