It will be even better when the closed for reconstruction road will be open and a neighbor's house renovating will be finished. Unfortunately, the Mexican construction workers turned their radio very loudly during the day time and did not respect the neiborhood quitness and dignity. Also, the house is more for pet owners. Probably, the outdated living room furniture stays there for that reason. ##### Boltovskaya T.

Though small, it was perfect for us. We enjoyed slow mornings at the dining table and quiet evenings in the outdoor spaces. Although we did not cook much, the kitchen was well appointed and included a washer and dryer, which worked great. We enjoy knowing the home has history. The garden and hot tub area were beautiful and private.. a perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring. The beach, harbor, a fun shop and restaurants were in walking distance. The Friday morning ukulele group and the Thursday night band was quintessential Santa Cruz!

We love all that Santa Cruz and surrounding areas have to offer and this home has a perfect location. We love that this home is dog friendly, our dog enjoyed daily walks to the beach just down the street. We also loved unwinding in the hot tub at night. The home is small but it fit my family of 2 adults and 2 teens just fine. We had some trouble with the hot tub on the first day but the owner was very helpful and quick to respond. The regularly scheduled maintenance was the next day and it ran smoothly after that for the remainder of the week. My only slight con about our stay is that they are building a home across the street. The workers were there from 8-6 every day so there was construction noises and limited parking because of it. Overall we had an amazing trip and experienced so much of what Santa Cruz has to offer! ##### Jennifer K.

It was clean & ready for our arrival. Nice backyard & great hot tub. Small kitchen & dining area but it was ok for the 4 of us. ##### Jim H.

Both Jason and Eileen are great to work with and they are extremely responsive hosts. ##### Mike G.

Great spot if youre able to manage a tiny footprint with your group. Rustic, but has a great yard and tons of charm. 2nd time staying here. Will stay again! ##### Trevor b.

Securely tucked in a fenced in yard where you can sit outside in front or backyard and enjoy the sounds of the waves or relax in the backyard under the stars in the hot tub. ##### Miel Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ---
