Plenty of space to spread out in comfort, beautiful deck and view, easy walk to the beach. This was the perfect spot for a group getaway.

We have a lovely stay here in Santa Cruz. The house had plenty of room for us to spread out - I loved that there were several comfortable couches in the house (not every house rental has those!) and a well-stocked kitchen, along with multiple TVs (which my husband and kids loved). It was in easy walking distance to restaurants and the beach. If you don't like stairs, you may not like this property since it's on 3 levels, but we loved it and can see staying here again.
Great host and beautiful home. This was everything we needed and more ! We had a small issue that was quickly resolved. The space is so well setup and well stocked- we want to come back next year!
