Really nice house. Plenty of room for family to have separate rooms and bathrooms. Great setup for multiple families. Beautiful decks and sunroom. Very beautiful and well equipped kitchen. Beach down the street is not really a family beach. There is a stairway but it ends short of beach leaving a climb down the cliffs to a very small beach, especially during high tide which was the entire time we were there. Beaches a few miles away are beautiful. Capitola beach is nearby and is a wonderful little town with great shops and restaurants. Pleasure point is walking distance and also has great shops and restaurants. We especially enjoyed East Side Eatery Pleasure PointPizza. Great pizza and clam chowder.

This house was great and had everything we were looking for, including everything we needed to cook, a wonderful location to dine in Pleasure Point or Capitola, and easy access to the beach. The house is also beautiful, very well-maintained, and has a very green and relaxing backyard. I will definitely consider staying here again.

We had a wonderful time! Joyce was a fantastic host, great communication. The house has so much character, we loved it. Our family fit perfectly. All of the bikes and water toys were so convenient for a beach vacation. The hot tub was so nice at the end of the day. Super walkable location. We walk to Capitola for dinner on the beach and we walked all the way to 26th Ave. the other direction. Can’t wait to go back!

This house has it all. The owner has created an atmosphere of comfort. The house is very cute and has a full bathroom with every bedroom. Having a deck on the front and back was really nice. Make sure to use the hot tub at night with all the lights around the back was wonderful!

House was comfortable for all of us celebrating my husband’s love of surfing in Santa Cruz after his passing recently. The location was perfect. Our only problem was the water heater died during our stay causing inconvenience for showers and kitchen clean-up. Temporary problem I’m sure. Would recommend this house.

Perfect for our bicoastal family reunion. Plenty of room for all of us (adults, a teenager, and 2 dogs) to find private space when needed but to also enjoy each others company indoors and outside (backyard and 2 decks!). Location near the beach was great for walks, runs, bike rides. Great communications w/ the host.

This place had everything! Great touches everywhere from the well stocked kitchen and bathrooms to the outdoor tables, hammocks and spa, blankets to cuddle up with while watching TV too! Just a short walk to the beach, bikes, helmets, wet suits, boogie boards. They had it all! We felt like we were home for the several days that we stayed there and would gladly go back!

This was a great place for some long time friends to get together. We brought everything- like spices, foil, olive oil, etc with us- but the house was really well stocked for everything we needed. The beds were extremely comfortable! and the living room was a great place to visit and watch the ocean. Great location with easy walking to the trail along the cliffs and to the shops down on 41st Ave. Wish we could have stayed longer- the amenities were great!

This home is located in a beautiful but quiet neighborhood within walking distance of Pleasure Point and Capitola. The house has everything you could possibly need for a family vacation. Well stocked kitchen, great media and entertainment options, and plenty of beach toys, boogie boards and bikes for your use and the beach is just a few steps away. A nice touch was the basket of plushie marine animals for the little ones!

Santa Cruz beach paradise
What a beautiful paradise! This beach house it’s so nicely decorated, the outside patio area is inviting, sunny and well-appointed. Our favorite part of the stay was spending time outdoors, swinging in the sunshine. We will definitely stay again! The neighborhood beach is steps away, fabulous location. ABSOLUTE joy!!!!

Surf getaway
We visited for a Sunday/Monday/Tuesday surf getaway. It was wonderful. I'm just learning to surf, so the beaches between Privates -> Pleasure Point were perfect for me. The house is beautiful & in a quiet neighborhood, so biking & hot tubbing & dog walking were all great!

An amazing gem close to the village!
I brought my daughter and 5 of her friends down to Santa Cruz for a sweet 16 birthday weekend and they had a blast! The house had plenty of room, a great view, outdoor coziness and was conveniently located near Capitola Village for dining, surfing & shopping. We will definitely rent again.

Graduation Celebration
The house was the perfect place to celebrate our daughter’s UCSC BS. The house had everything we needed. The grandparents loved their rooms even though they had to use the stairs. The upstairs bedroom was cozy.

The house was beautiful! Photos don’t do it justice. It’s a a dreamy retreat!
The house is perfectly stocked with everything you’ll need. Beds are comfy and the location is beautiful, perfectly situated between pleasure point and downtown Capitola. The sunrise every morning in glass living room was beautiful. The backyard is lovely and peaceful. We had plenty of space for the four of us and our two dogs. We’ll be back!

My grandkids called it the "Glass Castel"
This is wonderful home with everything you need and plenty of space for everyone. The downstairs was perfect for the grandkids and my son to just hang out and play and watch T.V. while the grandparent's sat upstairs reading, talking and just watching the rain drops fall in the sun room. Joyce (owner) responded to any of our needs or concerns but really just left us to ourselves to enjoy our Thanksgiving holiday.

A wonderful ocean getaway
This was truly one of our favorite rentals of all time. The home felt like a “home”, as if I was visiting my family for a weekend getaway to the beach. It was spacious, clean, beyond comfortable. I wish I could hear the stories behind the house and all the wonderful pieces of art. We will defkjolltu stay again. It was also very easy to check in and out and the owner was very responsive.

The house is large, well-located and comfortable
Our group was several moms with our teenage kids and one dog. The house worked very well for us - comfortable beds, plenty of bathrooms and amazing front and back decks and a large yard. The teens particularly enjoyed the hot tub. Having a large dining room table and another table close by made eating meals comfortable. We loved the location - quiet, but a pleasant walk to Capitola Beach or Pleasure Point, or to a beautiful private beach very close by. Our kids had a great time using the boogie boards and wet suits.

Perfect!!
Just returned from a week long vacation in the amazing home. First the location was perfect, my teenage kids walked to Capitola and was able to walk to all the best surfing spots. In fact I only used my car once to go to get groceries. So nice to wake up and walk to get coffee at Verve (best coffee ever). The home was eclecticly decorated and totally comfortable. Beds were so comfy. Tons of outside space that includes 2 upstairs decks. Beautiful Zen garden. I think I might make this an annual trip!

Perfect Location
We found the home very inviting and the perfect location. Our family really enjoyed our stay everything was neat and tidy. There are many areas to "hang out" as a family or if you just needed some piece and quiet. We had a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend the home to friends. T
