About this property

Light-Filled Carriage House Apartment- Blocks to Beach and Boardwalk

Our 1928 carriage house apartment is situated in historic Beach Hill. It has been recently renovated, yet much of the original charm has been maintained. It is a perfect spot for families or small groups - close to many tourist spots yet located in a residential neighborhood.
Cowell's Beach (boogie boarding and surfing), Steamer's Lane (advanced surfing), Monterey Exploration Center, Boardwalk, wharf, Warriors basketball stadium, downtown, and West Cliff Drive (bike/walking path along the ocean) are all a quick 5 minute walk from our house.
The apartment is located in a private garden setting, away from the main street, behind our home. We hope you will love this historical neighborhood as much as we do!

Quality Family time
Sarah, the hostess was extremely helpful. The house was certainly well equipped, extremely clean and comfortable. There was beach equipment and a beach cart to enable a full day's pleasure and comfort on the beach. The outdoor space was comfortable,private and during the day a little sun trap. I would highly recomend this accomidation to anyone looking for a stay in Santa Cruz. 10 minute walk to the beach, pier and promenade.

Perfect location & accommodation - highly recommend
We couldn’t fault this place and would definitely stay again when in Santa Cruz. The location is great for both a short walk to the beach and downtown shopping/great places to eat. They have thought of everything to make your stay as homely as possible - we found the accommodation to be perfect for our small family. Sarah and her family were so helpful - everything from restaurant recommendations to helping organise a local babysitter. Thanks so much - staying at your place has been the highlight of our trip!

Perfect in every way
We stayed here as a family of four, two adults and two teenage children. The house was fantastic for us, it was well stocked with more than the basic tea and coffee. The owners are very nice people who are on hand if you need them but they leave you too it which is great. The house had everything inside that you could ever need to stay indefinite including towels, washing machine, dryer iron etc. They also have a great fire pit and a Smores kit ready for you to enjoy the garden. I have no doubt in recommending this house to anyone and I would give it a six star rating if that were possible.

Fantastic location/apartment, fantastic host
My family and I traveled to Santa Cruz for the Ironman event and stayed two nights. The apartment is clean, bright, and in a perfect location, close to the boardwalk, beach, and Depot Park. Our hosts were incredibly gracious. I would absolutely stay again!
