The house was perfect for our extended family. This was the first time we have gathered together in one house and we were very happy with the number of rooms and bathrooms. The living space was very accommodating and the kitchen was large and well equipped for the meals we were making. We loved the ping pong and pool tables and the hot tub/back yard was a great asset. The back yard was nicer in person than the photos online. Plenty of parking and great access to the walk along east cliff as well as restaurants. Nice quiet neighborhood. More towels and bath mats would have been great. We had a little bit of trouble getting into the house at first but it all got straightened out. We hope to return next summer!

The house was awesome. Great kitchen - lots of space. Beautiful bedrooms - bunk room is amazing. Pool/PingPong tables were much appreciated with all the rain we had. Just a couple things worth mentioning: this house is 1 1/2 blocks from Pleasure Point which is amazing surf spot - but it is not really walkable to a beach. Closest beach is very short 4 minute drive. Also, this house is in the middle of a residential neighborhood, so there are lots of rules regarding noise and parking. We needed to double park one vehicle for a few minutes, and a neighbor asked us to move our car, as they said it blocked access to street parking for them. It was OK for us - but worth noting.

This is a very well appointed home in a terrific location blocks from the ocean with a nice layout for a family gathering. Regrettably there were several items that were not working during our stay (TV and entertainment systems and a persistent hammering plumbing noise when running water and flushing toilets). We later learned that the property recently had some repairs and renovations and we were the first guests following the work. When we contacted the host the first line response was excellent and we were assured someone familiar with the home would contact us. By the time we finally heard from someone we had already attempted all of the recommended fixes ourselves and there was little that could be done before our departure the following day. The office staff was apologetic and offered compensation which seemed like a reasonable solution although we would have preferred that the items had been working. Had the management company followed through this would be a 4.5 star review but the follow-up call that was promised has never come and our multiple follow up efforts have been ignored.

Wow! What a home! Really enjoyed our stay here! The location was absolutely perfect. Just a short walk to pleasure point to watch the surf and just down the street from Cat&Cloud Coffee! Great children’s book for the littles and a beautiful porch to soak in the sun! The game room was a huge plus as well! I can go on and on! Definitely a repeat spot!

Beautiful house, in a great area, only a few minutes walk to the beach, However, for $1000 per night, a few finishing touches are in order. First of all, only a very samll roll of toilet paper was in each bathroom (we had to buy TP), two dish towels are not enought for a kitchen to cook for 8, no non stick pans, no coffee grinder, only two beach towels....... just little things like that. Otherwise a great place, but expensive.

The house is very spacious and comfortable. I am a clean freak and feel that it would beneficial to have a deep clean. Some extra towels would be a nice touch. Kitchen was well stocked.

My stay
My family and I are from Morgan hill ca . We decided to do a last minute trip for our kids, when we arrived the home is amazing from the outside and inside, very clean! All these amazing rooms to stay in! Kitchen very nice bar and game room amazing! By far the best clean home that we have stayed in! Best part boardwalk is a few minutes away from home and many restaurants and breweries around the home area. Now for the bad things, the jacuzzi was nasty not clean a lot of foreign material in the water. Jacuzzi was not cleaned for a while like the description says . Back yard not clean grass not cut or maintained well!! My kids were looking forward to having a jacuzzi for the weekend specially after all day fun at the boardwalk. When I called Vacasa they said they were sending someone out! Never did!! In the description of the home no details of what the kitchen has as far as cup ,plates . Was stalked very well for our needs. Outdoor bbq pit was perfect for us. From balcony with chairs not clean at all covered in spiders and webs, … besides a few things that need attention we would stay here again but I would request a guarantee that the jacuzzi is clean!!

We stayed at this terrific house for four nights. We are a multigenerational family - grandparents, adult couples, and a toddler and an infant. This house is: #1 impressively clean and well appointed; #2 spacious for all people. #3 The kitchen was fantastic and again, well appointed with so many necessary cooking utensils. Everyone had their own bathroom. The layout gave plenty of space to be together and to be separate. We used the hot tub nightly, and even in the day at bit. And we had a blast playing pool and ping pong in the basement. It's also just 1 1/2 blocks from the ocean . We could walk to beaches as well as to a wonderful wooden path just a few blocks to the north. The Boardwalk is a quick drive. The Monterey Bay Aquarium is an easy 40 minute drive away.
I 'm sure we'll return to this house again.

My family and I take a yearly trip together and this is our 2nd time staying at this rental. It is a great house with tons of room for the 9 of us, comfortable beds, great amenities and close to the beach. We love the hot tub, ping pong table and pool table- it is fun for the whole family! The kitchen is large and is well stocked. The only issue we had was we could not get the TV to work for the football game. Plus, the check out time of 10 is very early for the teenagers in the family. Overall it is an amazing property in a fabulous location. Looking forward to renting this house again!

We spent a week at this wonderful house with our family (8 adults and 2 young grandsons). We all loved the house and the area! The house was spacious and had plenty of room for everyone. The house is walking distance to the ocean with a nice walking/running path. We enjoyed the many different beaches along the ocean. We had plenty of beach chairs and toys for the kids, including a wagon to haul our things to the beach. We could also walk to coffee shops, restaurants and surf shops! We’ve rented many houses for our family vacations over the years and everyone agreed this was definitely our favorite!! Turnkey Reservations was also very responsive to our text messages before and during our stay. It helped to make the total experience a magical one!!

Lovely for our group
This is a wonderful house with a large gathering space and kitchen on the top floor, bedrooms on the entry level and a game room on the lowest level…. There were comfortable beds for us all, a well appointed kitchen, and great walks along the coast just a few blocks away. Capitola was a mile and a half walk away, and there were many surfers to watch. We can’t wait to go back!

This house has it all for a large family or several families looking to spend time together in Santa Cruz. A block and a half from the beach one direction and a few blocks to coffee, pizza, donuts, ect in the other direction, this house is perfectly situatated. The house is clean, has modern amenties, a dream kitchen and an amazing bonus room/basement for hanging out. 10/10! We can't wait to stay here again.

This house was amazing. The rooms were luxurious and the beds were very comfortable. So many spaces for people to socialize so comfortably. The views and the breezes were great. The hot tube was very nice. The only downside was the late check in (4pm, not a minute sooner) and the early check out (10am)

This was our second time staying at this property and we had a wonderful time once again! There is plenty of room for several families. The large kitchen table and comfortable living room were very conducive to good food and conversation. The kids loved the bunk beds, toys, books, and game room. Property management is working on a leak in the hot tub, but we were still able to refill and use it when we wanted. The home is overall very clean, but if you don't clean up your food in the kitchen promptly, there is a tendency for ants to visit. Great food and beaches are a short drive (or walk in some cases) away. We'd definitely stay again!

Excellent property and vacation for our family of 9, ages ranging from 6 to 82! The house was spacious, modern, and clean. Lots of bathrooms and bedrooms gave everyone privacy and the common areas were great for group time. Nothing was broken or out of order, which often happens with rentals. One of our family members needed an iron for her clothes and we couldn’t find one in the house so I texted the rental company and they dropped off a brand new one within the hour. Now that’s great customer service! Not a lot of cookware, but what was there was adequate. Would stay there again in a heartbeat!
