Great little spot!
My husband and I just got married last weekend and wanted to do a little mini moon getaway in Santa Cruz. The bungalow is cute and perfect distance from the beach/boardwalk and downtown. Our only recommendation would be a mattress topper for the bed. The bed was very uncomfortable and we both had backaches every morning. Other than that, we highly recommend!

Wonderful stay in Santa Cruz
We stayed for 26 days in Santa Cruz to help out and spend time with our daughter, son-in-law, 3 yr old granddaughter and newborn grandson. We have stayed in Santa Cruz many times but not close to the boardwalk. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. This location was perfect to spend time with our daughter's family during the day and able to enjoy the evenings downtown and at the boardwalk. The house is half of a duplex with the owner, Keith next door. He is so nice, friendly and very helpful as to giving us recommendations of favorite places to go close by. The house was clean, bed comfortable, and good shower pressure. The kitchen was clean and had what we needed. The location was on a quiet street and street parking was easy to find. A parking pass was provided. We would definitely book a stay here again.

Just an opinion maybe a fan would be good if you want to stay inside the property during day time but overall is a good place. Thank you.

Mehhh Wouldn’t Stay Again
Honestly, this place was pretty gross. The sheet had stains on them, the shower drain barely worked so we could not shower in fear that it would flow over plus that’s disgusting. The home is VERY small, and the entrance door walks into the bedroom, then the living room, then kitchen. It’s the only door as well so it feels a little claustrophobic. The remote was missing that allowed you to use the tv, they only provided the remote that turns it on. Overall it was OK I guess, but I never stay again and would recommend it either. Extremely overpriced for you get too.

Great location
A bit small for 4, but we knew that going in. Cute, comfortable, clean, and great proximity to the beach if you can handle a quick jaunt uphill coming back.
