"This was the second time I have stayed at Mashoods lodging. Both times have been a great place to stay. Beautiful atmosphere the running Creek and some trails. Beautiful. And as for Masood he is so awesome and very accommodating. If you need anything he usually has it if he doesn't he will let you know if he can and will get it. Masood is awesome. He will make you feel very comfortable not to mention about the beds OMG I woke up every day feeling rested and NO back or neck pains. Definitely...

"Walk to restaurant (a good one, and rather iconic since it's been there a very long time - I grew up in the area) & walk to coffee, ocean, but out of the way of crowds for the most part. Clean place and comfortable."

"This house was spectacular. The cozy atmosphere was exactly what my group was looking for. To my surprise, sleeping on the pull out couch in the sunroom was incredible! You actually wake up looking at the trees. The house is a 20 minute walk to amazing trails within the redwoods. I cannot recommend this place enough. If it’s available the next time we’re in town, we’ll be staying here!"

"Pictures were accurate but important to note it is not as secluded as it looks. Lovely property, totally perfect for us! Just immediately off a busy road, not as nestled in the trees as the pictures make it seem. Would stay here again! "

"Great location. Quiet and close walk to restaurants and beach. "

"Very cute and clean! Great amenities and very close to downtown and the boardwalk. Perfect to spend some time with my sisters. We enjoyed our stay very much, thank you!"

"We had a nice short stay at this holiday home. The place was fairly well appointed and the hot tub was a nice touch for relaxing in the evenings. It was in a good location for exploring around Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz as well as several state parks. The hosts were very responsive as well to any inquiries. "

"We started our day at Twin lakes beach. After a long day at the beach we checked into the Charming Bungalow. It was about 20 minutes away from the beach we selected but that was ok we had plenty of beach time while we waited for check in. It was clean, cozy, and comfortable a great place to wash up and relax before heading out for a walk to the boardwalk. While I didn’t use the kitchen appliances, everything was available if needed. We chose to drive into Capitola for dinner. Would definitely...

5/5 Excellent

"It was great. Only thing was that the room above bathroom was right above our bedroom and when they took a shower either late night or early morning it was very loud. Other than that it was really nice. It is a complaint only an observation. "

"Such an awesome hotel! We loved the full hot breakfast included in our stay. A quick car ride to the boardwalk and down town area. Valet only was one of a financial bummer but the valet team was amazing! So kind and awesome recommendations for restaurants and activities. 10/10 would stay again! "
