Casita De Santa Cruz - Steps from Scenic West Cliff Drive

We had a wonderful time at the casita this week! The location is fantastic - just a couple blocks from W. Cliff where we walked along the water every day. There are several coffee shops and lunch spots nearby that we visited nearly every day. And all the adorable Santa Cruz neighborhoods are a quick and easy drive. The house was perfect for our family - the casita is small but there still feels like plenty of space to get comfortable and relax. I would happily return to this house and highly recommend it for a great time in Santa Cruz!

We had a nice stay. First night we all slept like a baby-next few nights we were woken due to the baby-she was restless- but all in all beds were comfy-The Jacuzzi was so relaxing - weather warm so we lowered temp for our granddaughters to enjoy too! Relaxing to sit out - we utilized the kitchen and BBQ for a nice family dinner. Only one time we had to contact Jill - that was to reset the Jacuzzi- simply fix! We couldn’t figure the fire place- but no biggie- I’m sure if we really needed it I could have contacted Jill. But not really needed for our stay. Weather was warm. It Cooled In Evening for abit- The place was very clean -no complaints! Just one safety issue for little ones- the stairs - we just put pillows as a extra precaution- but our youngest GB (almost 2) loved them! She loved to sit on them and sit in the center area of stairwell. We always like to try new places and We would definitely recommend for a small family- we were 4 adults and 2 children . 1 TV- in living room- but being on vacation who needs them in the bedrooms 😉. I always read reviews to help me to make my decisions to book- and that’s why I chose Jills place -The Casita- 98% positive the other 2% must have been very picky? Thank you again Jill- hope to one day stay there again or meet you! Your reviews show you are a great hostess!! 👍🏻 The G/M family 🤗

We had a great time and were able to walk to the beach easily. The casita was clean except for the towels in the upstairs bathroom (we just washed them) and there was a little sand in the hot tub when we opened it to get in but it was still pretty clean. Other than not having enough toilet paper and the annoyance of not being able to get a hold of Jill for more, this was a great place to stay.

We had a great time.

We had a great stay at this little casita. It's proximity to Cowells Beach, the Surfer's Museum, and Boardwalk was perfect for our family. We enjoyed how quiet it was, and slept with our windows open at night. The Jump Bikes (pedal assist) are readily available and close by, allowing everyone to venture off alone or together. Jill was a gracious host, so pleasant, and easy to get hold of. We would definitely stay here agin.....

We had a fantastic stay! This villa is so cute and is in an awesome location within a beautiful quiet neighborhood. Walk/bike to beaches, to the field by the lighthouse which was full of wildflowers, and to the boardwalk. Could hear the sea lions from the backyard. Just amazing. Communication with the host was really easy. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

We enjoyed our stay. The house was cute, clean and comfortable. Short walk to the water! Jill was very responsive.

We enjoyed our stay at the Casita and recommend staying there! Thank you! Jenni

Walked to the beach, lighthouse park, and all over while visiting friends. Great central Santa Cruz location! Nice place, big hot tub, can’t complain! Only note, as others have said, the stairs weren’t easy to navigate for our little ones - nothing that wasn’t clear from pics or reviews, just meant a little extra watchful eye when we were upstairs

This was our family's second stay at the Casita. We had a great time the last time stayed here (last July) as well, so we decided to come back to relive the experience. The Casita is conveniently located just a short block away from scenic West Cliff drive. It is just the right size for a family of four with two adults and two kids and had everything we needed to cook lots of our own meals. The hot tub worked flawlessly and was a highlight of our days as we unwound at the end of each active day. Jill is a courteous and responsive host.

This was a beautiful Cassita with everything we could’ve possibly needed. Added bonus of a small yard complete with BBQ and hot tub made for some relaxing evenings outside. We were close enough to the boardwalk and pier that we could walk to anywhere we wanted to go. Close to resteraunts too. A relaxing home away from home. Our host was amazing, she was great at communication and readily available when we had any questions. We look forward to a return visit.

This property is wonderfully tucked in an alley just a couple blocks from Westcliff Drive, the historic road that winds along the cliffs on the westside of Santa Cruz. Although so close to Westcliff and the Beach Boardwalk (and just a few minutes to downtown), it's a surprisingly quiet neighborhood with a great local Santa Cruz feel. You'll feel tucked away in this little cottage, beautifully designed and by the owners themselves. Soak in the hot tub, cook in the kitchen, that's stocked with everything from blenders to pans and baking sheets. The courtyard is just big enough for hot tub and sitting with friends...but the real joy is just a couple blocks further. Grab your morning coffee and watch the early-morning surfers in Steamer Lane (right off of Lighthouse Point). Take an ocean-front walk. Stroll or drive to downtown (walking doesn't take long). Explore the Boardwalk (it's worth walking through, even if you're not interested in the rides...try a foggy morning before the crowds arrive!). On top of all that, the wharf with its restaurants and views. I promise the owner didn't pay me to write this...I just can't emphasize what a rare find this location and ambiance are. The house isn't huge, but it's exactly as described: a delightful casita!

This is our second time to stay at the property. Short walk to Steamers, Boardwalk, Pier and West Cliff. We will be back!

This is a gem in a perfect location! We were able to walk to many of our destinations so we did not need to move the car or load and unload young children! Very beautiful and well stocked for our 4 day stay. Will definitely stay again! Thank you Jill!

This house worked great for our family of 4. Location was great - we were able to walk everywhere. Hot tub was fabulous and very relaxing at the end of the day. We had a very nice stay and enjoyed visiting Santa Cruz!

This beautiful place is perfect for a relaxing weekend in SC. It is very comfortable two bedroom house a block from West Cliff drive . The hot tub was lovely after a surf and the kitchen has everything you need of you want to cook and stay in for the night . Can’t wait to come back !

The unit is very well appointed and roomy, just what we needed and expected. Location to the areas services, resturants and fun things is very beneficial. I would choose this unit again.

The property was great. Everything matched the description. Jill is a super host.

The property was excellent for our family of four. We have two young teenage daughters and they loved the hot tub, walking to boardwalk and weather. We had a great week of relaxation and long walks along West Cliff. Overall it was a great place to stay...quiet, well equipped for cooking meals and within walking distance of boardwalk(but don't hear the noise from anything at night, other than occasional barking of the sea lions under wharf.

The location was great for our stops at the wharf, boardwalk, disc golf tournament, downtown shopping and whale watching. Easy check in, clean, well equipped kitchen, nice hot tub - very pleasurable stay!

The Casita was in a great location within walking distance from Cowell’s Beach, Steamer Lane, and the boardwalk. We also really enjoyed the hot tub. We would definitely stay here again!

Thank you for providing such a clean, well equipped, quiet, and beautiful place for our mini break.

Such a an easy get a way for a family of five. Booking to check in through to check out… seamless. If you have a little one you will be on your toes with the stairs but other than that we look forward to our next visit.
