Stayed 4 nights, really liked it. Very clean, had everything we needed. A few negatives are, the bed is too small, needs a queen size, not a full and a better mattress. Heater (wall unit) makes way too much noise when temperature is reached and turns off, banging noise. Wanted to take a bath but unable to fill with just that shower head, spa in bath doesn’t work although looks inviting. Needs a better coffee maker, dated. Needs a bigger television, 50” would be perfect. Could put that 32” in bedroom. Even with those negatives we loved the place and would stay again and again. Easy fixings.

When we got to the cottage it seemed to be all that was promised. Cute seaside decor. Nice landscaping. Nice deck etc. We put our luggage away & unloaded our food & other items in the kitchen. after arriving that we realized there was an electrical problem in the living room. The TV didn’t work & an outlet next to the sofa also didn’t work. The light in the hallway didn’t work, but not sure whether that was a bad bulb or somehow related to other electrical issue. In reading previous review, we see that there was an electrical problem before and clearly had not been resolved. We reached out to the manager, & she immediately had her repair person come over. He confirmed an ongoing issue with the electrical in the house, and his only solution to us was to provide an extension cord for us to plug in the TV. this did solve the problem, but made it a dangerous situation to have the extension cord draped across the floor to plug it in the kitchen. He said that they would look into getting an electrician & get back to us, but we never heard anything more.The amenities on the listing say there is a spa, which there was at one time in the bathtub. That no longer functions and the bathtub is not usable - shower only. The manager told us that someone had broken the plug & she hasn’t been able to get that fixed. There’s nothing in the listing. There’s more we would share & feel we deserve a discount on the nearly $350 a day we paid. We are frequent travelers & rarely post negative.

Cozy, clean, and well appointed small one bedroom house close to the harbor. The owner quickly sent a handyman to fix an electrical problem that occurred after we arrived.

The Yacht Harbor Beach House is perfectly located to explore our favorite places in the area from Aptos, to Capitola, to beaches (Twin Lakes beach is just down the street), and Pacific Avenue. The house is clean and well-equipped, the enclosed yard is perfect for a pet, and the deck is a wonderful place to read, dine, or simply enjoy the phenomenal trumpet vines and white bird of paradise. We hope to stay again next year for our annual visit to the area.

We enjoyed our stay at the Beach Cottage!!
Loved everything about it! It is decorated perfectly! Spent time on the back deck with all the lovely flowers!! Loved that there were beach chairs and a small cooler. So nice to be able to walk to the beach! We would definitely book this location again!!

Great place to stay - just as advertised. Would thoroughly recommend.

We loved our 3-night stay in this cute spot. The private backyard and patio furniture was great for outdoor meals. The bed and bedding was super comfortable. Overhead fans were all we needed to keep cool. Very quiet street; tons of privacy. We appreciated the host's thorough communication and pet-friendly policy. The beach is a very short walk away (at the end of the street). Would love to return and stay here again.

Only regret is the weather didn't permit enjoying the lovely garden deck. So clean! Comfy and close to everything we could need or want. Cute street and neighborhood!

We had a great stay at the beach cottage. The cottage was very clean and had everything we needed for our stay. It's walking distance to the beach and Crow's Nest and the neighborhood felt safe to walk around in.
There is a studio in the back that shares the yard with the beach house. It would be super fun to get both cottages with another couple. We will definitely be back!

I rented a few days with my son and we had a wonderful stay. The house was clean and checking-in was very easy. The beach is nearby and had lot of places to walk. I would definitely stay again and I am thankful for the hosts.

Wonderful stay at this little cottage. Neighborhood was quiet and walking distance to beach and delicious restaurants. Definitely will book again.

Perfect for two. Was roomy and comfy even though we were only staying to sleep and shower. Quite neighborhood. If I had one negative it was that the bed though comfy, fell to the center so this made it feel small. We are used to sleeping in a bigger bed. My husband rolled to the middle and I hung onto the bed side. LOL! However, we would stay there again.

It was all we needed. Adorable home. It was well appointed and stocked with coffee, filters, liquid soap, toilet paper, and laundry soap.
Walking distance to the beach and restaurants at the marina.
The back porch/ yard is charming. If the weather would have cooperated, I could have spent an afternoon lounging with a good book. There is also a front porch with darling window boxes full of beautiful flowers.
Even though the apartment in the back is also rentable; it wasn’t a problem having neighbors so close.
Check in/ out was flawless and super easy.

We were impressed with the property. Very clean and beautifully appointed. Decor was crisp and comfortable. There is a garage at the back of the property that appears to be a rental as well. Shared backyard. Very quiet. Great location for us. Walks to the beach were lovely. Our only complaint, ONLY one was the bed. It was pretty but not very comfortable for us, it was noisy too.

This is a super cute, very clean little bungalow walking distance to beach. Great for a couple. Had hard time sleeping on squeeky hard bed. Was a little strange having another couple and their toddler staying in the guesthouse behind the bungalow. Other than that, very nice.

5.0
Excellent property. I am marking this location as my preferred spot in Santa Cruz. It is an easy, pleasant, short walk to the beach, at least two restaurants, and a coffee shop.
Pros: Immaculate, nicely stocked, great amount of space, well-organized and functional kitchen. Pretty much everything we needed was already there. I appreciated the planning on the part of the hosts, from the new dish scrubber to the matches in the drawer. The bathroom has excellent space with a great tub, and the backyard is cozy, relaxing, and beautiful.
Cons: The EXTRA squeaky bed, but still comfortable. Power was our main issue. The bedroom only has two-prong plug outlets despite the desk being in the space (not ideal for computer plug-in). Also, no outlet by the bed, but you can work with it using their extension cord. Nothing too hard to manage.
I’d highly recommend the space.

After a busy day of moving our daughter to college, coming back to relax at Eastside Santa Cruz was great!

The house was lovely, nice and clean.
The lock box was a problem to open. It took several tries to get it open.
The only negative I have about the place is the bed squeezed every time you moved and was annoying. Other than that it is great little place.

The house is very cute and quaint. Unfortunately, the owner was unfriendly & unhelpful. It’s very unfortunate.

Once again, the Yacht Harbor House was everything we needed and expected. Our host, Lana, was on sight supervising some repairs and improvements. Quiet neighborhood convenient to everything in the Santa Cruz Capitola area. We hope to stay here again.

It's story-book cute and comfortable and a shirt stroll to the sand. If I were buying a place in Santa Cruz, I'd want it to be just like this. My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed cocktails on the back deck as well as a morning tea. We'll look into a second stay if the opportunity arises!

Cottage was very nice. Spacious rooms and a lovely backyard. A bit of Hawaii. The backyard was my favorite place. Very quiet and relaxing. Great place to enjoy a good book.
Lana, the host, was very accommodating and responsive. Got right back to us.
We had a lovely time. Peg and Tom
