July 2025

Location was very good. The unit was almost fully booked for July. We were able to book a couple of nights. The wear and tear are evident due to lots of bookings. Unable to find instructions for heating the rooms. Had to sleep on the sofabed because the bedroom was too cold, we had a baby. Only plus was the location, where we could walk to the wharf and the beach. Otherwise, would not book again.

The location of this home is perfectly placed in walking distance to the santa cruz beach boardwalk, and the restaurants and downtown area! The home included everything needed for our stay and was very clean.

September 2024

Loved this adorable bungalow on a quaint, quiet street. We came off season, so there was street parking. We ended up walking to everything from there. The bungalow can get chilly, but the heater in the bathroom helps for shower time. The kitchen was well appointed and the coffee pods were much appreciated.
