Beds were comfortable for my family of four. Only complaint was that the front door opens up into the master bedroom and has a big stainless glass insert in it which brings in tons of light in the morning. Besides that’s had a nice vacation in Santa Cruz. ##### April L.

Quaint, quiet and great space. Two master bedrooms with full baths. 1/2 bath off living room area. Sleeps 6 comfortably. 4 adults and kids in living room on fold out or sleeping bag, air mattress on floor. ##### John C. Stayed 1 night in Feb 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### frank d. 14 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Our Santa Cruz stay Our host, Michelle was very responsive and friendly. The location is one block from the beach. Very nice indeed. The 2 bedroom 2.5 bath was perfect for our family located in a nice neighborhood. There are airbeds if needed. The house was very nice and clean. Restaurants, Starbucks, and markets are walking distance. Thank you Michelle! ##### frank d. Stayed 1 night in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Carrie P. 1 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Check in was easy. 2 bedrooms each with their own bathroom, great for 2 families. Equipped with everything you would need. Big screen TV's in every room! Felt safe & comfortable. Beach within walking distance. Plus your next door to the Best Burrito in Town! We had a great stay. Will stay again. ##### Carrie P. Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlotte E. 15 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a very pleasant experience at this property. It was very clean, tastefully laid out, and with good amenities. At first, we weren’t sure about the location as it is attached to a little restaurant, but as it turned out, it was fantastic. Close to the beach, downtown, right across the street from a little market, and steps away from very tasty breakfast burritos! Once inside, everything was super cozy and well appointed. The host was communicative and responsive. We would stay here again! ##### Charlotte E. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Cassidy M. 26 Aug 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We noticed our first night there were ants… not a big deal. We sprayed with raid & they ended up going away. 2 out of 6 of the girls sat on the beds & ended up with bites. We checked the beds for bed bugs we didn’t find any. The next morning we opened the washer & there was a pillow case with bed bug stains on there. We immediately contacted the host & left. She said she would process a refund. Come to find out she never processed the refund, even for the night we didn’t stay there.
