The great room is open and spacious so the entire family can relax together either on the comfy couch in the living space, at the dining table or fixing a snack in the fully stocked kitchen. There’s also a cute sun room stocked a TV to keep even the little ones entertained. The master bedroom features 5 star, hotel quality linens and a plush Cal King bed. The second bedroom has two twin beds, perfect for the kiddos. The third bedroom has a plush top, queen bed with deluxe bedding. Outside, you’ll find a fully enclosed yard with lots of room for outdoor BBQ meals and play. Winter or summer, the hot tub will be a perfect spot to relax after all your Santa Cruz fun.

This three bedroom, two bath home comfortably sleeps six people.

Our goal is to ensure your Santa Cruz vacation is perfect. And with some of the best beaches and amenities within walking distance, you don’t have to go far to enjoy Santa Cruz. Twin Lakes (aka Blacks Beach), that’s only 1.5 blocks away, features great surf during the day, amazing views of the lighthouses and fire pits for roasting marshmallows in the evening. If you're a coffee person, take a quick 2 block walk to The Windmill Cafe for one of the best lattes in Santa Cruz. The Santa Cruz harbor is walking distance and features great restaurants like The Kind Grind, Aldo’s or the famous Crow’s Nest. Hop in your car and drive 5 minutes to the Beach Boardwalk, downtown Santa Cruz or Capitola. We have a “Things to Do” binder at the house full of recommendations to help you enjoy your stay. And we’re always available prior to your arrival to help in anyway. This is sure to be one of your most memorable vacations yet!

Girls in Santa Cruz

Bedding on master bed smelled like they were in the washer too long. So I had to strip the bed down and wash bedding, including mattress cover. Also, room with queen bed smelled musty. Otherwise, the rest of the house was very clean.

Family stay

There was plenty of room for our family of 6. The house is luted as a ocean/beach view thats incorrect. Outside bbq and outside heater did not work at all so we were unable to use those items. We arrived to the sunroom not being swept out before our arrival (8 month old found food and plastic) i had to clean it, also had to clean the coffee maker before i could make coffee.. dishes were put away dirty including coffe cups and pots and pans. The house overall was okay and in a good location for santa cruz and t

Great location, dirty house

Location of this property is amazing; short drive to boardwalk and a quick walk to a great beach. The downside to this property is how dirty the inside and outside was. There was mold covering the majority of one of the showers, the beds were sinking in (literally had to roll to get myself out of bed), the bed sheets were so rough, there was about a 1” thickness of dust covering the blades of the standing fans inside of each room (thank goodness there was AC!), we had to wash a bunch of pots and pans/ utensils prior to using them due to food still being stuck from previous use, the outside patio dinning table and chairs were literally falling apart, the backyard smelled like dog urine and there was cob webs everywhere. Not sure when the last time someone rented this property was but it should have been cleaned prior to us using it.
