Close to the ocean for our morning walks. The Hot tub, so easy to raise the cover and nicely hot. Loved the huge water containers in the frig. Enjoyed the Sun deck, too.
Shopping and restaurants very close, especially Shadowbrook.
We (four adults, two little ones) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious and suited our needs perfectly. The location couldn't be beat, either!
The property was just as described and we had a very pleasant long weekend. It was a very short walk to two different beaches, we used the cruiser bikes to cruise over to the boardwalk, and enjoyed the spacious and clean living/dining area.
Great stay! The house and location was perfect! The addition of the bicycles was amazing and made the trip so much better for our family! We loved our time at this location!! Family of 4 with 16&19 year old kids!
Wonderful visit to Santa Cruz at Steve's house. The house is in a perfect location, it has everything you will need for a wonderful stay. The cruisers are perfect for riding to the beach or boardwalk. Will definitely return!
Perfect place for our family - all the gear for fun days at the beach (boogie boards, towels, bikes) and enough room for everyone. The host shared some great restaurant and beach tips beforehand which proved to be spot-on. We'll definitely be back, and I'd recommend the place to anyone!
My girlfriends and I had a wonderful time staying so close to the beach. It was exactly what we all needed. Quiet, relaxing, comfortable. The house was stocked with everything we would find in our own home.
Felt like we were part of the neighborhood instead of just vacationers
The house had a great layout for enough privacy and gatherings. So comfortable & clean. Amazing beds. And, the neighborhood was great. We used the bikes to ride everyday - along the beach, to Verve Coffee and Capitola. Just a fantastic location and space. Thank you!
This property was perfect for our trip. The location is close to everything, from Capitola Village to several beaches that are easily walkable from the home. The home is well equipped from the kitchen to the bikes. The beds were very comfortable and the living room offered tons of space.
The owner was amazing in working with us when I booked our stay a day shorter than I meant to and we had to make a last minute extension of our trip. We will be back for sure!
We had a wonderful time. The location was perfect for beach and food access. We split our time between the Boardwalk and the Beach. House was clean, organized and easily accessible. The only thing I would suggest is don’t sleep on the trundle bed with your toddler if you are an adult. It isn’t for tall people lol
About 2 blocks from the cliffs where you can watch 100's of surfers and a 1 1/2 from a beach where you can relax, swim or stroll on the beach. We enjoyed the bikes too.
The house was clean and accommodated our family of perfectly. We have 3 teens and there was more than enough space for everyone.
Steve was wonderful at responding and gave us great tips for activities and where to eat. So appreciative!
What a find! the house is great and has everything you need for a stay in Santa Cruz - including bikes, wetsuits and beach chairs. Kitchen is well equipped as well. The house is about 3 blocks from a great surfing spot - we made out way every morning to watch the surfers. 3 blocks the other direction is a good beach. Nothing bad to say about this rental. Thanks Steve!
I've been to the Capitola/ Cruz area for years for disc golf. (Delaveaga is the mecca) but ive never stayed in this neighborhood. Steve's place is sweet, neighbors are cool and the beach is a skip away, hot tub in the back and i didnt even have to log in to any of my accts for streaming ufc. Bicycles and surf stuff available also. Sweet spot
