House was clean. Enjoyed the porch and its ocean views. Definitely get to see the hustle and bustle and surf front living. (We loved the people watching which may not be for everyone).
House was short on silverware for 6 as listed (luckily we only had 4 guest and there was enough) would like to have had more toilet paper, paper towels and trash bags for use. Be sure to bring some extra or be prepared to buy some more. Over all experience A+. Hope to come again next year.

Unappealing location. No place to sit outside except a small deck in the parking lot. House was stuffy and hot at night because we didn’t want to open the windows due to safety concerns about the location.

Given the proximity to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and the Municipal Wharf, I was worried: would it be loud at night?
Nope: we had two very quiet nights. This unit isn't luxurious, but instead super charming: a classic vintage beach shack in walking distance from major attractions.
We barely used our car: we walked along West Cliff Drive for the views, walked to Pacific Garden Mall for food, played at the Boardwalk, had beers on the wharf.

Good beachfront cottage
Good communication and speedy replies. Clean cottage. It is as advertised. Location is super (you can walk everywhere) and it was quiet at night (February holiday weekend).
Minor items: A number of electrical outlet cover plates (at least 3) are broken—need to replace those. We couldn’t find the sheets for the futon. Ceiling light was burnt out in one bedroom, but there were spare bulbs so no real issue.

The pictures on the listing accurately represent this small beach bungalow. It is 4 connected rooms with one bathroom that connects the two bedrooms. There is a large deck with a table that has a view of the ocean over the parking lot and street. While the outside is a bit weathered, the inside is clean with bright paint and cute beach themed artwork. The location makes up for any imperfections. The owner is very responsive and helpful.

Beautiful rustic house. Quiet at night. Walking distance to wharf and boardwalk. A short drive to scenic areas. Parking was easy and assigned. The beds were comfortable. I would stay here again.

This Property is literally 100 yards from the pier and 300 yards from the Boardwalk. Everything is convenient. Walking distance to everything important. I wish they had wash cloths' but we made due without. Good Wi-Fi and TV in living room and both bedrooms. Sitting area in front is nice to socialize. Full size frig & Ice maker is a plus for sure. Also beach chairs and towels provided, nice touch. Josie and Pete we nice and easy to ask questions ect..I would recommend this property for sure. I would not have more than 4 people myself in it, but if you have little kids it will sleep 6.

Location is perfect!!
I have to give this a five star even though it's a little older beach cottage, but the location is perfect. Steps to the wharf, to the Boardwalk and to Cowell's Beach. Cowell's beach is surfless as there are hardly any waves but it is nonetheless the beach. The cottage itself if clean and checking in with the manager was so easy. Note to self to bring next time: A stock pot to make a spaghetti dinner and maybe a couple of other kitchen items and a few wash cloths for bathing. All-in-all we had a great time.
