Great location perfect for family
We made a last minute decision for a beach weekend in Santa Cruz . With our 2 kiddos and dog, this was a perfect vacation spot for us. The location was great. We walked to Twin Lakes Beach and Boardwalk, Harbor Cafe, coffee shops and markets. The two bedrooms was perfect to give all of us room for privacy and spreading out. We had one maintenance concern with a leaking shower head spraying on the wall. The service team was not able to fix it during our short stay, but they responded that they will do that right after.

Wonderful gem!
Our family of 3, plus 2 small dogs, had a blast at this cottage. The location cannot be beat (easy walk to the beach), and the cottage was lovely. It had a nicely outfitted kitchen and great sectional for lounging. Relaxing vibe, responsive to our questions - definitely recommend!

Overall great stay with minor issues
We loved our stay at the cottage. It was perfect for my two children (2 yr and 3 mo), my friend and myself. Lets start with the minor issues. I wish the kitchen was better stocked, there was no cooking oil of any type, all the seasonings were random and some extremely old, no coffee, only one pair of tongs and one spatula, they had empty boxes for ziplocs. It was just overall lacking in supplies that are usually provided in rentals. The beds were not very comfortable. Last issue was the windows, not all stayed open or had screens and it would get warm inside everyday around 3pm even with the ac on which really didn't work. It was so nice and breezy outside too so it was frustrating not being able to cool down the house. Now onto the positives. We loved the location as it was super close to the beach. They had a wagon available for use which was very helpful! The backyard was super cute and we spent in between time snacking back there while the toddler played in the grass. (I think it was my favorite feature). Everything was very clean and the bath towels were the best I have experienced. So soft and fluffy and clean. The water pressure in the shower was amazing.. The access into the house was great. It was a simple keypad lock. Like I said, overall we had a wonderful stay but if they invested a little more into kitchen supplies, better mattresses and some ac/window maintenance it would have been perfect.

Nice, clean and quite!
The place was nice quiet and clean. We had a great time there it was exactly what we’re looking for a place to relax near the beach. Only one bad thing was that there was a lot of flies inside the house I think they need to either spray with some thing or have a professional come over the property and take care of the problem.
