This was a beautifully decorated home. It was incredibly well appointed and space to hang towels, just do well thought out to be easy and pleasing for any guest. There were so many wetsuits of all sizes and games and books. Very comfortable sleeping. Probably one of the best I’ve ever stayed at. So close to the beach and lovely walking. I would come back!

Cathy's beach cottage is a perfect place to stay in Santa Cruz. Easy walk or bike to the local beaches. She provides a few bikes/beach chairs/boogey boards which is so nice. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you need to enjoy a relaxing stay. Cathy had great recommendations for things to do and was easy to get in touch with. The property is really beautiful. We didn't want to leave!!!!!

Cathy’s home is the best rental we have stayed at, and she is very thoughtful to have things available for children and families to use. She was very communicative and willing to assist, and the home exceeded what the listing described it as! I hope to be able to return in the future.

Super easy and great location

Without even asking the host reached out to let us know the property would be available early to us. We didn’t end up coming in early but it was a nice surprise that we could have since we were traveling with 3 young kids. Check in/out are super simple, basically just walk in and out. Very quiet neighborhood with lots of people walking their dogs etc and close to the beach.
