We arrived in the middle of a storm. But the view and sound of the ocean outside were wonderful - evoking the feeling of Christmas in California. The sun did come out on our last day and that too was spectacular. The kitchen was super well stocked and fun for a group who enjoys cooking together. Loved the dining/living room space. Essentially the flow of the first floor was perfect. The bedrooms were lovely, clean, and comfy. Thanks for the wood and the sweet touches. One suggestion for future folks with cat allergies - the house is uber clean, but the dander can have an impact in the first 24hours. Benadryl does the trick. And by Day 2 everyone was fine. Thanks for a lovey stay.

We spent several wonderful days in this beautiful comfy home! Exceeded our expectations! Planning on making this an annual event.

The house was so clean, bigger than what pictures show. 2 family rooms. Kitchen has everything you will need and more. Towels are more than enough and very clean. Great patio sitting for family gathering. This would be the place I would choose when I come back to Santa Cruz

New family memories in a very comfortable home with a magnificent view out the doorstep.

You won’t regret saying at Brown’s Beach House!!! I am very particular with cleanliness and I tell you that this house was CLEAN and GORGEOUS! The view is spectacular and it’s just a 3-5 min walk from the beach access. The house is also very well-stocked with what ever you need in the kitchen and other things like towels, sheets, cleaning supplies, etc. One of our friends is a chef and he enjoyed cooking meals for a party of 9. Check in and check out was a breeze and management was so easy to contact via text messaging. I highly recommend this place for your next Santa Cruz getaway.

The house, location and amenities exceeded our expectations. More spacious than photos suggest and the hosts equip and stock the house generously. The sea view is spectacular and watching the surfers a great pastime.

The home is beautifully decorated, great bedding. A few things to bring it up to a full 5 rating: Light bulbs were bright white, rather than soft lighting. A few of the bedside lamps didn't work. Ran out of Toilet Paper. Was told there was a drop coffee maker, but only a Kurig. However there was a grinder and filters, just no drip coffee maker. Would definitely stay again. We brought candles, that helped the lighting.

The house was lovely and had everything we wanted, close to the beach and sound of waves crashing was so relaxing. It would have been more enjoyable if there was a hot tub that could fit more than 3 people at a time, there is space in the yard for a larger hot tub and certainly it should be used in that way to accommodate the fact that the house can hold 8 people. We were not able to make the hot tub work the first night because the control panel was mislabeled but the very kind property manager sent out the hot tub guy and he sorted out the issue; we were able to use the hot tub by the second day. My only other issue is that the house had those powder-scented plug-ins which made the entire place smell like, well, powder. I am very sensitive to smells and I spent the entire stay finding and unplugging those from the sockets of every room in the house. Maybe fine for some people but definitely not for everyone. Definitely was an issue and distraction for me. Lastly, there is one room with a small queen size bed which felt a bit small compared to all the other bed accommodations which easily fit 2 adults per room. It would be great to stay here again, maybe when the hot tub is upgraded. It’s a great location and really nice home.
