Thumbs Up

Terrific location! We are walkers and downtown was only blocks away w/lots of shops and restaurants. The Boardwalk was a little less than a mile which allowed us to avoid traffic & parking. The hot tub was a plus too. The host/owner was an exceptional communicator and always responded very quickly....thx Ali.

Rennsport Reunion Weekend

My son & I needed a place to stay during Porsche's Rennsport Reunion at Laguna Seca. We wanted to be close to downtown since we were already driving to/from Monterey each day. This location did not disappoint. The owners restaurant recommendations were great. After walking all day at the track the hot tub did not disappoint and the beds were super comfy. We'll definitely stay here again when the opportunity presents itself.

This is a great location.

The host was very easy going, and extremely hospitable. The house was very clean, and well stocked with supplies. It is close to a mission, so you will see homeless people. If that bothers you, so be it. But I felt very safe. It’s walking distance to several restaurants, and shopping. Happy New Year!

Great location

This property is located in a very nice neighborhood, and within walking distance of downtown (shops, many restaurants and a TJ's), the wharf, and the boardwalk. The house was very comfortable, and the off street parking was a real plus. The driveway is a little steep, so leaver the sport cars at home!. The communication with the owners was fantastic, and they were extremely accommodating.

Wonderful birthday getaway

What a fabulous rental property. The house was more than what we expected...it was so clean and it was well stocked with the necessities, and very well maintained. High end fixtures, comfortable beds and an amazing hot tub. The host were so accommodating too & made my birthday special by leaving out a beautiful birthday banner and bottle of wine. I would recommend this place to everyone. Thanks again for making our girls trip so spectacular.

Great location, excellent hosts, beautiful property

My family & I enjoyed our stay. The cottage was very cute & clean on the inside. It would have been nice had the outdoor patio been swept up in order to enjoy it more. Very walkable to downtown and boardwalk. There is a daycare nearby and we were awoken each morning by children yelling and playing. Not terrible, but not as peaceful as we would have liked. Overall we had a nice stay, hosts were responsive and we had welcome snacks, which our kids were thrilled with. We thought it had three beds, but the third room had more of a couch. In the description would have been helpful had the bedrooms not been labeled “bedroom 2 & bedroom 4” as this was a bit confusing.

My wife and I stayed here the weekend of our wedding celebration. The space is so cute and easily accommodated us and the bridal party getting ready. The hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. Location is convenient to downtown and the beach but the property is very peaceful. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Great little house near downtown Santa Cruz

We were a group of women in town for the Santa Cruz Triathlon. The house was clean with fluffy white towels, great bath & shower, and the hot tub was wonderful after the race. Kitchen was clean and had the things we needed to cook, eat and heat our leftovers. One thing to note is that there is only parking for 2 cars, and the neighborhood has streets with no parking from midnight to 6 am. We figured it out and parked the extra cars elsewhere and walked or biked locally. The house is in a great location, close to both downtown and transition area for our race. It was nice to be able to walk to the downtown area for any shopping errands and eating out. The house felt very safe behind the gate and the security codes were easy for us to manage. The owner is very responsive and answered any of my questions promptly.

Perfect Location-Great Accommodations—Stay Here!

This house was perfect for our family group of 2 couples plus 2 boys ages 9 and 11. The sleeping arrangements were perfect; beds including the sofa bed with air mattress topper were comfortable; linens were clean and comfortable. Two full baths accommodated all our needs. Upstairs bathroom was a favorite with a bidet and luxurious shower heads. The Street Fighter game and board games were great distractions and kept the boys (of all ages) occupied as others were getting ready. The hot tub and fire pit were used everyday (we liked the fire pit so much we bought one for our home and it has been delivered and installed there). We utilized the kitchen for breakfast every morning and prepared a family dinner outside on the grill and had dinner for 8 on the deck. We didn’t have much opportunity to use the TV but it did come in handy for winding down. The house was located within an easy walk to downtown including the Wednesday Farmers Market that had great food trucks. We felt very safe and loved the little alcove that the house was tucked into. Easy to get in and out. Parking was great. Everyone loved our stay in this house. I really don’t think you could do any better for a visit to Santa Cruz. Our hosts were very easy to contact and we appreciated this welcome basket with goodies and fresh flowers. Just stay here. You won’t regret it!

Downtown Hideaway

We are a family of 4 and had a great time at the Beach Oasis. It's very convenient to downtown and easy to get to/from other areas. It was very comfortable... we felt that we were staying with family. There are lots of different areas on the property to chat, read, visit etc. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy luxury, close proximity to everything but safely tucked away

This home is perfectly located near everything. It's a quick 5 min drive to the Boardwalk, and walking distance to upscale or casual dining. It is also tucked away from the main street, down a long paverlined driveway. It is truly charming. Check-in directions were easy to understand. From the start, our hosts made us feel welcome. It appeared that they had prepared the home just for us and wanted us to enjoy ourselves. I had mentioned to the hosts that we were celebrating our daughter's birthday and we arrived to a home that had a "Happy Birthday" sign hung up and specialty drink and candies in a basket. The spa outside was heated and ready for us to enjoy. Once in the home, we explored and saw that it was beautifully constructed with updated decor and finishes. There were plenty of extra towels and bathroom/shower necessities were fully stocked. The kitchen dining area was fully stocked with table settings and a wine cooler. Lots of board games in the third room that our girls enjoyed exploring. There is a gorgeous balcony on the master bedroom with bistro set, an outdoor sitting area with a propane fireplace, and a substantial sized yard if you have little ones who need space to play while the adults relax on one of the many outdoor chairs nearby. This home has something special around every corner. The host's focus on quality experience leaves guests feeling better than when they arrived. Highly recommend if you want to truly relax! Thank you, Ali and Komal
