I can't stress enough the absolute stunning deck that is RIGHT AT THE OCEAN'S EDGE. My family and I can't believe what an amazing experience it was to stay here. We spent 4 days watching the sunrise and set, surfers, seals, dolphins, pelicans, sea birds, the changing tides... everything an ocean lover can imagine. We were hoping for a whale, maybe on our next visit! 😆
The house is so cute. It was clean and had everything we needed. The living room tv allowed us to catch the games on Sunday while still enjoying the view. Go Taylor's bf!
The kitchen was great, but we ordered out for every meal. The capitola village is just a short 8 min drive to grab delicious dinners. We walked to the Point Market for breakfast burritos and sandwiches.
We have stayed in the past at a nice hotel on 41st. This house is a huge upgrade and totally worth the price!
I am already counting the days until we can book this property again!!

Nice property, no immediate beach access- though a very small beach was a few houses down. Parking was tight with three cars on busy street. Views and sunsets were breathtaking.
Suggest more toilet paper/paper towels. We ran out. Rear stand alone room was musty and friend complained of mildew on light fixtures. Property in general was damp, but it was cold and wet during our whole stay. Beds were comfortable, master suite was very large. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

Perfect central location for day trips to San Francisco and Carmel. Great house for our needs. Could improve on stocking with few more essentials like paper towels, toilet paper and dryer wipes or fabric softener. This is important for a large group staying for a week.

Our stay was wonderful! The Home had everything that was needed for our stay and was spacious enough for our family of 7 adults and a toddler. It is easy and close to Capitola, The Boardwalk and great restaurants. The walk to the beach is very close and family friendly. The views from the home are spectacular. We could not have asked for a better vacation home.

Best location to walk with boards to Santa Cruz! Full on use of gourmet kitchen every night with absolutely gorgeous views! Owners responded excellently to a couple concerns and were very open to settling issues. Would go back in a heartbeat!

This house was very spacious for our large group, everyone had their own space, the view was beautiful, the beach was so close and Capitola had a lot of good shops and restaurants. The only downside was the weather it was foggy.

Our family of 4 greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The ocean views from the main living area and primary bedroom are incredible. The home was clean and all the beds were comfortable. We appreciated being able to use the washer and dryers. The furniture/decor is dated but fine for the price point. My only request for improvement would be to leave a few Keurig pods or some ground coffee for the pot for those (like us) that arrive late.

We sat on deck often...... I thought when we viewed photos of property 🤔 we could walk 🚶♂️ on beach from House 🏠 Not so.... waves crash rocks constantly which is nice, but no beack access. Master has good view with small deck. Approximately 10 minutes from boardwalk. Overall comfortable .

We had an absolutely wonderful vacation and this house was a big part of that. The location was central to all the places we wanted to see, like San Francisco to the north and Monterey and Carmel to the south. We also have family in Los Gatos which was close as well. The house was clean and quiet and had everything we needed for our stay. And the view! There is nothing better than sitting on the deck watching surfers, wildlife, and sunsets. This was a vacation we will not forget!

I grabbed a cup of coffee every morning , sat on the stunning deck, and listened to the pounding surf while watching seals, a whale and surfers frolic in the ocean. I was able to climb down to the beach one morning and walk the mile long beach. Too much ocean the other two mornings. Prepared dinner every night in well appointed kitchen. Great house! Awesome location! Do the short walk to Point Market for coffee and breakfast burrito!

We rented this house for 4 nights in April 2022. The house location is right on the beach. Very close to boardwalk, warf, capitola. My only complaint about the property was the cleanliness was not perfect for the amount we were paying. And the driveway is very very short. A truck will not fit on the driveway and there’s no street parking. The stairs down to the beach are very fun! Great beach in front! Great neighborhood and location!

Beautiful ocean views. Comfortable, well stocked house. Our only issue was the BBQ. Needs to be replaced.

The waves are mesmerizing. The house is very functional for a large family. The teenagers enjoyed riding the beach bikes which were provided. The only
“negative” aspect was the inability to access the TV ~ none of us could figure it out ~ including a couple of teachers and younger people.

An amazing location right on the ocean and so close to what Pleasure point has to offer, beautiful scenery, friendly people and all necessary services.

We celebrated a family birthday over Labor Day and found the view from the deck and the sounds of the waves to be absolutely addicting. Truly a special house and a spectacular spot. Owners and managers very responsive.

So pleased with this home - it was perfect for our family and accommodated someone with a walker. I was disappointed that there was no beach in front of the house like the pictures. We had hoped to use the beach in front and still have family in sight. But everything else was great.

Good house, most things you need for a stay. Close to favorite beaches, but no beach exists below property. No shampoo on bathrooms, bring your own. Good sand toys in garage, enjoyed using the cruiser bikes to ride to Capitola.

This home was amazing! It overlooks the ocean and access tp the beach is just a few houses down. This house had it all--big deck, lots of kitchen amenities, lovely rooms and tons of beach toys (chairs, surfboards, bikes, boogie boards). We'll definitely stay here again next time we're in Santa Cruz!
