The hosts did a fantastic job of staying in touch and making sure everything went smoothly. The house is charming and had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location is great and the views from the deck are amazing.

Old Victorian home is charming and cozy. Open all the blinds on arrival for a spectacular view of the ocean. The upper deck was amazing, except for the scary circular staircase. The updated kitchen is well done. Nice dishwasher. Owner, Julie was very helpful and accommodating. An excellent host!

We had a lovely long weekend at La Sirena. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend this really lovely property with lovely hosts!
Hearing the ocean waves as we walked up to this adorable victorian was a magical start to our trip. Upon entering, the high ceilings make the room feel spacious while still being cozy, and the back room and kitchen are bright with a view of the ocean. The real star is the rooftop deck, which is up a, rusty, but still functional spiral staircase. We spent all the time we could up there with that view!
The hosts were helpful and responsive. I felt confident leading up to our visit and they were great during our stay as well. They even put up with my mom texting them!
I do want to share some opportunities, which I'm confident the host will address, if they haven't already.
There's an added weatherstripping on the front door that is sharp and very close to the handle. Unfortunately, a couple of us did cut/scrape our hands when trying to open the door. We also noticed that there was a mold looking substance on the fridge water spout and hard water buildup on the kitchen sink faucet. We notified the host and opted to buy some water bottles, they were very apologetic and offered to pay for them. A couple other small things like socks getting a bit dirty walking around inside and that the couches should probably be replaced soon, nothing that I would consider a dealbreaker.
Overall an amazing stay and great hosts. Don't miss out!

Amazing stay, steps from the beach! It was the perfect size and set up for our two families. It was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the upper deck was perfect for morning coffee. Thank you so much!

The extremely clean adorable home was the setting for the perfect summer vacation. The home had everything that you need for a great beach vacation. However, the location gave it a a 5 star rating. Steps from the beach, we enjoyed watching seals, a few sea lions and so… many birds flying over the ocean. The harbor, Santa Cruz Boardwalk, Capitola Village and downtown Santa Cruz were short drives from the home. Parking was NOT a problem for our Sprinter van or our daughter’s car. The only issue would be if you have mobility issues because there is a staircase to the beach and to the absolutely amazing rooftop deck.

Excellent location close to one of the best beaches. We did have to drive to most destinations we wanted to visit, but that was OK. Very helpful and friendly owners aiming to please any of our needs. Thanks for the wonderful stay.

We love the mermaid house! This was our second trip - the location is amazing. The only suggestion we have is to add a few larger cooking pots and pans - we managed but would have been easier with a few larger ones. Thanks for everything!

We were a group of six who stayed for 4days/3 nights. The house is well furnished, comfortable and just a few steps down the stairs, at the end of the road, to a big beach with great waves. We saw several surfers and people/dogs enjoying the beach. Super easy to drive into Santa Cruz and also down to Monterey and the beautiful 17 mile drive. The homeowner was very helpful and easy to communicate with. A great time in Santa Cruz!

This was the perfect house for our family to stay in during graduation weekend. Great Farmer's Market on Sunday morning within easy walking distance. Uncrowded beach in front of the house with great waves for surfing or boogie boarding.

A lovely beach house.
The top deck had gorgeous views of the beach.
Strong wifi for those of us who had to attend to work obligations.
We only cooked one of the four days, but happily found a very well-equipped kitchen. We would love to stay here again!

We had a lovely time in this historical beach house with a lovely roof deck with views of the ocean. Lots of room. Charming mermaid decor.
Well organized and documented.
The shower is slow but it’s worth the price of some history.

We loved our stay at LaSirena! The property was comfortable and quiet, an easy drive to restaurants, Santa Cruz, Capitola and a short walk to the beach.
There were only 3 of us and there was more space than we needed. We enjoyed the decks, especially the one with the great beach view but spent most of our time in the living space off the kitchen because of the great views and all the sunlight. The kitchen was very well equipped, the beds comfortable and plenty of towels.
We’d stay here again!

Our family enjoyed the amazing view from the balcony rooftop. We enjoyed watching the sailboats, surfers, and our family playing on the beach. We enjoyed our stay immensely and will be back!

This classic Santa Cruz home was spotless. We were there in the terrible downpour of the area and felt safe in this well constructed home while enjoying a beautiful view of an angry ocean. Great fireplace that warmed up this home in case we lost electricity.

The storms of 2022-2023 did not dampen our enjoyment of the beautiful property and ocean views. The clearing on New Years Day let us enjoy the upper deck for coffee and lunch.
The owners were very responsive.

This place is amazing. You can sit on the upper deck with a panoramic view, and hours will pass without notice. A one minute walk to a beach that is not crowded at all.
The house is cozy with a kitchen that has everything you need. The owners make sure everything works here, and that’s important.
I thoroughly recommend this place to everyone.

The upper deck of this house puts it over the top! Ocean, mountains, stars....you can see it all. We were in town for a wedding and this was the perfect home for our family to stay in. We were 15 minutes from everything wedding and the beach was waiting for us when we weren't busy. Close to great hiking trails as well. We'd come back in a heartbeat!

Our old college roommate group (class of 1996) decided to get together in this adorable, nautical-themed home. Julie was kind and helpful for set-up and the home is as advertised. We loved the proximity to the beach and of course, the rooftop deck. Beds are comfy (which is a rarity for rentals) and the home has thoughtful labels on certain items for assistance. We liked how it was 15 mins from all interests and attractions. Highly recommend.

The house was exactly what we wanted and the location was even better than expected! Walk out the front door and beach access is literally steps away. So we could enjoy watching the surf break from living room, or out on the roof deck, or we could stroll down to the beach for some toes in the sand time. Lovely!
As the listing shows, there are multiple beds in some rooms, which made it a little funky for sharing with friends. It seems like it would be best suited for extended families with small children (or people who don't mind if they get the smaller, less comfortable bed). The beach chairs and toys available were great, and much appreciated. The kitchen was well appointed, and we enjoyed meals, followed by games around the big dining table. We felt very much at home. Thank you for great getaway!
