The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful experience. The home was great and had all the essentials. The only downside was the beginning of lent fiesta that began on Wednesday. We could not get our rental car in or out of the parking location for a few days. I wish we were told about this ahead of time. The party in the area played very loud music until 3:30am. ##### Carol C.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Really great location. Master bedroom and bathroom very roomy. The patio is lovely and the living & Kitchin area were nice and open and well-stocked with everything we needed. Air conditioning worked great! The property management was responsive to our questions about a problem with the door, locking mechanism. We did not address this with them (and maybe we should have) but we did have a problem with getting hot water consistently. It seem to either be insanely hot or not hot at all. But since we were generally coming in off the beach, we are happy to take cool showers. The location couldn’t be better. We loved this beach because of the soft sand and the very gentle waves. Lots of markets, and shopping and restaurants and easy to catch a taxi from this location. ##### Charmaine O.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Excellent, spacious and comfortable oceanfront condo in great central location. Condo has beautiful ocean views from living room and bedroom, which was great to wake up each morning to (and come back from a long day). Great base for staying, with plenty of restaurants and shops in walking distance, easy taxi service and ample parking for a rental car. Good internet and wifi, water filtration system, plenty of towels including beach towels. Note - Santa Cruz is a little more lively than some other locations with lots of restaurants and busier beach, but with the exception of some live music for an hour here or there in the evening (trumbone playing), the noise didn't bother us as the condo itself was quiet.If can make one note to the developer - please add lighting in the hallways. Not sure if this was an oversight (seems odd), but at night you have to use a flashlight in order to use the key for the door.Overall very happy and will return. ##### Alan A. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayson H. 22 Apr 2025 Liked: Communication, location ##### Jayson H.
