Quiet Santa Cruz home base
This is a great spot to explore & enjoy the Santa Cruz area from. It's a clean, simple, comfortable home with an attractive front and nice little garden porch out back. The kitchen is well equipped and was not lacking in anything notable.

Perfection! Literally. Lana was the most gracious and available host, the place is beeeeeaauuuutifil - squeaky clean, quiet, peaceful, bright and sunny, bed was next-level comfortable. The neighborhood was amazing, and I had everything I could possibly need. I don't want to stay anywhere else when I come to Santa Cruz! It was so hard to leave.

Love! Love! Love! Absolutely fabulous & charming! I kinda don’t want to tell you how excellent this property is- I want it available for me! I can’t afford to buy such a charming beach house like this- so a 4 day stay gave me a slice of heaven! The beach is so close! Extremely walkable- quiet sweet residential street- like 2 blocks away to the beach! The home is so sweet, decorated impeccably & stocked with every thing you need to “move in” for awhile. Host was always available via text- gave me a sense of security if I needed anything regarding the property. Oh! I can’t forget to mention the gardens! The front & back yard are beautiful! Plenty of seating to pull up a chair and enjoy your coffee in the morning & wine at night. I always need tv- tv had plenty of channels to satisfy me. A smart tv too- you can find any of your subscriptions & log in easily. So anyway- I love this place & hope to have the opportunity to stay again. Everyone I know, loves Santa Cruz & this home is the epitome of Santa Cruz- this home has everything you could ever want & hope for. I just hope I can stay here again! Thank you Lana! You were a delight. Oh! Also, this home is perfect for a romantic stay (very!) and sweet for a stay with a friend or family member. Cozy! Cozy! Cozy! There isn't one thing I would have changed. Just a dream come true! Again, thank you Lana, for letting me get a chance to stay in such a wonderful place :)

Absolutely wonderful beach cottage
The home is well appointed, comfortable and has all the amenities you'd need. It is immaculately clean. Parking is easy and it's very quiet and serene. There is a detached small studio unit on the property behind the main house. The neighborhood is very convenient and walkable to a small grocery, Deke's, next block over and restaurants. Do not miss the Harbor Cafe! The beach is in walking distance. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing, enjoyable stay.

Very nice
Stayed 4 nights, really liked it. Very clean, had everything we needed. A few negatives are, the bed is too small, needs a queen size, not a full and a better mattress. Heater (wall unit) makes way too much noise when temperature is reached and turns off, banging noise. Wanted to take a bath but unable to fill with just that shower head, spa in bath doesn’t work although looks inviting. Needs a better coffee maker, dated. Needs a bigger television, 50” would be perfect. Could put that 32” in bedroom. Even with those negatives we loved the place and would stay again and again. Easy fixings.

Not all it’s meant to be for the price
When we got to the cottage it seemed to be all that was promised. Cute seaside decor. Nice landscaping. Nice deck etc. We put our luggage away & unloaded our food & other items in the kitchen. after arriving that we realized there was an electrical problem in the living room. The TV didn’t work & an outlet next to the sofa also didn’t work. The light in the hallway didn’t work, but not sure whether that was a bad bulb or somehow related to other electrical issue. In reading previous review, we see that there was an electrical problem before and clearly had not been resolved. We reached out to the manager, & she immediately had her repair person come over. He confirmed an ongoing issue with the electrical in the house, and his only solution to us was to provide an extension cord for us to plug in the TV. this did solve the problem, but made it a dangerous situation to have the extension cord draped across the floor to plug it in the kitchen. He said that they would look into getting an electrician & get back to us, but we never heard anything more.The amenities on the listing say there is a spa, which there was at one time in the bathtub. That no longer functions and the bathtub is not usable - shower only. The manager told us that someone had broken the plug & she hasn’t been able to get that fixed. There’s nothing in the listing. There’s more we would share & feel we deserve a discount on the nearly $350 a day we paid. We are frequent travelers & rarely post negative.
