A perfect place to enjoy Santa Cruz

We used this as a base for seeing many sights that Northern California has to offer. We also had lovely Christmas dinner and new years celebration. Very comfortable with room for kids to play and grownups to visit.

Great Family Place

4 adults and 3 teenagers/children had a wonderful vacation! The house is clean and kitchen/family room is exceptionally nice for large families. Was initially concerned that neighborhood was a little sketchy but it was perfect in terms of proximity to boardwalk and beach and we had no trouble at all. Thank you, Bailey’s!

Great trip with teens

Took a girl scout troop of (6) 16/17 year old girls. Location was perfect for the scouts to walk to nearby restaurants and the beach/boardwalk. Everything in the house worked great! Scouts were able to cook meals and the kitchen provided all the tools they needed. Kitchen windows have views of the beach and boardwalk. Management company was super kind and helpful. One of the best service experienced. Great place and excellent location. Highly recommend.

Multi-generational Extended Weekend Stay

This property was perfect for our multi-generational extended weekend stay. It was very clean, comfortable, and conveniently located. We appreciated the off street parking. We had everything we needed to prepare meals. There were plenty of activities to keep the grandsons entertained. They enjoyed being able to see the lights of the boardwalk from the balcony and then taking the short walk to spend the afternoon there. The layout of the house was perfect with the 2 younger generations sleeping downstairs and we grandparents sleeping upstairs. We were very pleased with this VRBO.

Just what we needed

This is a spacious, clean, and comfortable home that fit our needs. Great views of the boardwalk and a short walk to it. Beats paying $30 for parking. Nice quiet neighborhood. There is PLENTY of room in this home. Large kitchen and lots of seating in the TV room. The only mistake we made was we were so busy we were only there to sleep. I wish I had more "downtime" to relax in this home, but there's always next time :)

Santa Cruz Celebration

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Driving down Pearl St i was a bit worried neighborhood looked a little rough but it was fine. The house is quite nice. Great view from the patio nice backyard. Location was close to everything. I would have liked to see a few kid friendly dishes and cups in the kitchen as well as Tupperware for leftovers as plastic wrap, foil, baggies are not provided. Bring your own laundry soap, Kleenex, bath soap. The ad states parking for two cars - the driveway is very short unless you have a Fiat or Minicooper your vehicle sticks out into the sidewalk. I was worried about getting a ticket.. As indicated in previous reviews all of the mattresses on every bed are HORRIBLE! For that reason I would not stay or recommend the property to friends unless I read all new mattresses. Property Management was FANTASTIC!!

Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The home was clean and reasonably furnished but with dated furniture. The location is not near the beach as the name suggests. Note the home is listed as $300.00 a night but ended up twice as much.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We enjoyed staying here very much, it had everything we needed and we were pleasantly surprised by the foosball and ping pong table which we used a lot. Parking was a little tough as only 1 vehicle really fits in the driveway (sideways) without blocking the sidewalk.
