Perfect Family Spot

We had a wonderful time. The house is equipped for a family stay. And, since we had every age group - toddler to over 70 - we were delighted to be in this house, this location, so close to the beach.

50th birthday reunion

What a wonderful way for a family that is scattered across the US to gather to celebrate our youngest’s 50th birthday. The home was perfect in every way. This was our first experience with renting a home and were pleasantly surprised. We will definitely do it again.

Great house near the Beach Boardwalk

This was a great house near the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Since you could walk there, you don’t have to pay for parking and they don’t charge admission, so you could go anytime, very convenient. The house itself is a little older, but still really nice even though it’s screaming to be upgraded. Great deck with a great view. No TV in the living room which was annoying and refreshing at the same time. Needs to have some sort of Bluetooth sound system though. All in all, the house was everything we needed it to be. But the location was the best part.
