Great location, close to the ocean and walking distance to shopping, dining. Lots of options. We walked over for a coffee shop/ice cream outing one afternoon which was nice. Plenty of gear provided for our kids and us adults. Bikes, beach cart, fully stocked laundry area, coffee, etc. Just plan to bring your own shampoo/conditioner as Santa Cruz no longer allows the mini sizes to be offered. Akemi was quick to respond to our questions and a gracious host. It's a charming property, we loved it!

What a fun beach bungalow! Location was key - we were able to walk to the beach, to stores and restaurants. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the decor, the layout of the house, the cozy bedding/blankets, and the overall vibe of Casa La Sirena. The owners were incredibly thoughtful, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with. Hoping to be back next year!

We had a very nice, comfortable stay. Our host responded very quickly for questions we had at checkin. One thing is that the garbage cans should be labeled regular trash and recycling.
Would definitely stay again.

The house was absolutely beautiful. It was clean and close to everything. I chose it because the house was dog friendly. The house was dog ready, but the owner was fussy about me brining my dog, so I ended-up leaving him at home. That was the only issue. Choose if they want dogs are not and have it reflect truthfully in the ad.

Two friends and I stayed at Casa La Sirena and had a great time. It's clean, comfortable and in a great location. We were able to walk to restaurants and coffee shops on 41st street as well as access the beautiful walking/biking path that runs along the Pleasure Point beaches. We did not use the beach toys in the garage, but there were toys, bikes and a wagon available if needed. I'd highly recommend Casa La Sirena for anyone staying in the Santa Cruz/Capitola area.

We rental this house for a friends reunion and thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The house is uniquely painted and decorated. It is only a short walk to beach access, maybe 2 minutes where the views are stunning! Coffee and miscellaneous shops are only a 5-7 minute walk away and the shops in Capitola are a 15 minute walk. The home has a nice little backyard with seating and nice landscaping. We enjoyed wine out there each day while the sun was out. The beds and pillows are very comfortable. Our host was very friendly and responsive from booking to departure. Wonderful rental!!

We had an amazing stay at La Sirena and look forward to returning. We fell in love with the neighborhood over the summer and knew we had to return with our daughter. This cozy, colorful home is the perfect size and location for our family of three (plus two dogs). We are so grateful La Sirena was dog friendly so we could enjoy with our whole family. La Sirena is the first home we’ve stayed that was dog friendly but PRISTINE. My daughter and I are very allergic to cats and short-haired dogs. The leather sofas were comfy and didn’t make us sneeze! I was a little nervous when I saw the plush carpet in the bedrooms but to my delight - no issues! The colorful walls and decor created a lovely backdrop to for our rest and relaxation. My husband said La Sirena gave him a happy scent memory - it smelled like his Aunties home. Our dogs enjoyed their stay too and appreciated being able to stretch their legs in the backyard and found the “facilities” spacious and pleasant. :O) The provided dog “earth offering bags” on the door handle were such a thoughtful touch! Instructions throughout the home were easy and much appreciated. Having a washer and dryer is such a perk and though we didn’t use them this time we loved the availability of the bikes, a beach wagon, and more. Akemi has thought of everything! This beautiful home is walking distance to the beach cliff path, coffee (Cat & Cloud is a fave), great restaurants (try Canton!), and an incredible indie bookshop (Two Birds). Further up 41st are several grocery stores, Target, and Capitola village is just under a mile away. There’s a mall nearby if that’s your jam. Akemi was a lovely hostess and we look forward to our next stay!

This is a really interestingly decorated in Spanish style Casita. The kitchen is very well equipped with a lot of appliances including blender mixer and nice match set of dishes and silver for 8.

Very comfortable beds, and very Friendly communications with the host.

You can immediately tell upon arrival that this property owner is not new to the short term rental world. Always promptly responded to any question. They have very thorough instructions posted for everything you need. They have the house stocked and labeled. It is very organized. Every time we would think of something we needed and start to wonder if it was provided... we immediately would be reminded of how well put together the property is and... Of course it has everything we need!
The house was very clean and everything was set up beautifully inside and out. There were even amazing amenities provided for all your beach outings! Wagon, stroller, umbrellas, chairs, beach cruisers, etc. The list goes on with all of the things that the owner thought of for all ages.
This trip was a girls vacation with four of us. We had the most amazingly perfect trip. Lots of things were within walking distance. Surfing, beach, shops, restaurants and bars.
The neighborhood is lovely and we always felt safe. And spoiled by our surroundings.
I would absolutely rent this property again. Very grateful it all went so well.

We needed a place to stay to help my daughter prepare for her wedding. This was absolutely PERFECT. Akemi was gracious, informative, and very welcoming. The house was very clean, organized, and relaxing, and was exactly what we needed. On Monday I did not want to leave...I wanted just one more day! I will definitely be staying there again!!!!!

We had a great weekend at this perfectly located home, two minutes from the beach, a few minute drive from lots of shops and food. We will definitely be back! The house was clean, the beds were very comfortable, all of the amenities we could ask for. Stocked kitchen, TV, Internet. Just perfect

We enjoyed staying at this house as our home base while visiting Capitola Beach and Santa Cruz…it was convenient to the beach with a short walk down the street. The house was comfortable and had everything we needed for our stay. Akemi was a wonderful host who was very responsive and helpful! Definitely would recommend this home!

We thoroughly w enjoyed our stat. Our host was ver accommodating with a change in our check-in. The house was spacious for a family with a pet. The yard was nice. The garage houses many items that could be used for leisurely activities. The house was brightly colored with beautiful flowers and decorations. The neighborhood was quiet minus minor construction across and down the street (during daylight hours). There were clear instruction listed on devices and necessities for use. The private beach was less than 5 minutes walk away.
I have a minor suggestion that the master bathroom shower needs some TLC and scrubbing. The water pressure in both showered was ok, but made it difficult for rinsing thick/long hair but with enough time spent in the shower it worked out.
Generally the positives way outweigh the suggestions. We loved this place and would definitely come back again.

We came out to Santa Cruz for my son’s 30th birthday. This home could not have been more perfect! There was lots of space to relax in, a great back yard for a toddler to play in and the adults to enjoy the lovely gardens. The kitchen was well equipped, the beds comfortable, and lots of nice little personal touches. Thank you Akemi for a simply lovely stay.
