It’s only a 5 minute walk to the ocean! There is also a cute little market close by with grocery items, along with coffee and other made to order meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner! We walked the oceanfront many times during our stay! The house was also perfect for our family with a very nice backyard for lounging during the day. We had a fantastic time and hope to return again! ##### Connie R.

My family stayed for a weekend and really enjoyed the house. With 2 kids (5yo and 19mo), it was nice to have a secured front yard for playing, a high chair, lots of toys and books in the closet, and of course bunk beds. There is good WiFi and Netflix provided on the main TV. Very comfortable furnishings and a well-appointed kitchen. The surfer in our group could walk 5 minutes to Pleasure Point break, and we made multiple trips to the little market there for coffees and snacks. Quiet neighborhood that is very convenient for lots of Santa Cruz amenities and attractions. Would definitely stay here again! ##### Alissa G.

Very comfortable with a dining table that sat 6, a great space for watching movies together, a room for each pairing, and 2 cruiser bikes to boot! Also, loved the location being within a block from the beach (and that convenient general store)!The only slight drawback was the bathroom sink plumbing which leaked out onto the floor- but I was able to put it back together and put the small trash can under which solved the problem pretty quickly. ##### Joe R.

We’d stay again for sure. Clean, well stocked, great backyard. ##### Serena V. Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Janis L. 3 Sept 2016 #### We had a great stay at this adorable cottage. This cottage is very cozy with a cute beachy decor. Our family of 6 fit comfortably and had an amazing stay. We enjoyed our daily walks to the beach for some of us to hit the surf at Pleasure Point and for the rest of us to watch them. We also loved the beautiful back yard. This place is in a great location!! I would say the owners only have to do a few minor repairs to make this place 5 stars (fix master bedroom door as it is falling off hinges, secure curtain hardware to wall in master bedroom replace torn sheets in master, fix dresser drawer handle in master, patch tear on living room chair, replace torn shower curtain, put shade on lamp in queen bedroom). We would definitely stay here again. The owner was a pleasure to work with on securing the rental. ##### Janis L. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2016 ### 8/10 Good #### Christin B. 11 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location #### Family Vacation Everything was wonderful regarding the Aloha house in Santa Cruz; however, the one complaint we have is the fact that the website does not mention having a bungalow in the back yard that also houses guests. We pulled into the drive way and Andy, the owner, was throwing away trash and at that time informed us that they were staying there. At that point it felt as though he was watching over our up-keeping of their property. Although Andy seemed to have left, another guest arrived the following evening and was not the friendliest. Our kids had enjoyed playing cornhole in the back, but no longer did so as they felt uncomfortable. We now know by reading the renters agreement in far more detail that it states in there that there is a separate property located in the back. My suggestion is for Andy to tell the tenants renting his house that there are guests staying in his bungalow as well. Everything else was wonderful and we would stay here again! ##### Christin B.

We love the place. The decor was perfect and peaceful much better than other houses in the area. Yes there is a tiny private cottage in the back with its own space and own walkway no privacy issues at all! There are great hedges and a fence that block the view. The outdoor shower had warm water too! We love the place and will go back! Perfect for a family or a couple! Thanks for a great stay! ##### shauna l.
