Perfect location

We really loved staying at this house. So perfect to travel with our dog. The location was great and just a short walk to downtown Capitola. Private and beautifully landscaped!

Awesome stay

Everything is top notch. Sara and all the things she does to make your stay comfortable from luxury linens to treats ( both human and for dog) to beautiful gardens to her beautiful artwork and providing a relaxing atmosphere are more than expected. We have stayed here many times and plan to return soon.

Great Amenities, Location and OODLES of Charm!

We stayed for a long weekend. The house is really fun with three different, separately fenced areas. There were lots of thoughtful touches throughout the home like a bowl and dog toy for our dog, plenty of pillows, throws, umbrellas, and beautiful art. The kitchen had everything you could think of and then some. In fact, the whole house just has art and pillows and textures everywhere. The hot tub was lovely and we used it every evening. I gave my twin boys the big master in the front and I took the smaller bedroom with the hot tub right off the patio. I wasn't sure from the listing, but there are two bathrooms. The neighborhood was fairly quiet for SC, though it should be noted that there is a back unit and if it's rented, those strangers will be coming through your sideyard where there are a lot of windows. I think the back unit also allows dogs, because there was a little, yappy dog back there every morning about 7 a.m. I didn't mind as I'm an early riser, but just wanted to warn. The only thing this charming, cute little cottage is missing is a nightstand in the smaller bedroom. That would be a nice touch. (Oh and don't forget to buy one of the beautiful cards in the kitchen! They are gorgeous!)

Wonderful weekend getaway

My family enjoyed a nice weekend getaway. Sara was a wonderful host... responding to communication promptly, even during our stay. We were greeted with a bottle of wine and some tasty treats as well! She was very helpful and understanding when we had to change our dates due to the Santa Cruz fires. The house was clean, comfortable, and spacious for my family of 4.

We loved this cottage by Pleasure Point Beach

This cottage was perfect for my husand and I, our teenage son and our dog, Blue. It was cozy and artistic. The king size bed in the main room was one of the most comfortable beds we have slept in while traveling. The hot tub was large, secluded and fit the whole family in. We loved the little garden area in the front. It was a great location, walking distance to coffee, restaurants and the ocean. And, Sara, the owner, was very accomdodating to all our needs. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Fantastic spot for small family and dogs!

My wife, 1yo son and I had a great Labor day weekend at Sara's house. The house was a perfect set up for us and a home base for the Santa Cruz area. It was a short walk to both Pleasure Point and Capitola where we were able to hang out at the beaches and have some great meals. We also felt right at home at the house which is in a quiet beachside neighborhood. The hot tub was new and hot when we arrived. There was an outside patio area for our dogs to hang out and a grill area. Inside was very clean and the fridge was fully stocked with wine and beer when we arrived! I highly recommend for a home base to explore the Santa Cruz area!

Our favorite getaway!

We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this is our favorite. We have had the pleasure of visiting multiple times and enjoyed each one. The neighborhood is quiet, the gardens are beautiful, the decor is peppered with original art and comfy furnishings and Sara, the host, is wonderful. The King size bed is just right and the shower in the back bedroom is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked with pots and pans and we have cooked everything from tacos to chili to pasta and fish. We all enjoyed the treats provided by Sara and our dog enjoys the fenced in front yard and walks in the neighborhood. There are plenty of restaurants close by and some within walking distance. We are looking forward to our next stay in a month or so.

Pleasure Point Oasis

Sara's 2bed/2bath home was a perfect oasis to start our Thanksgiving week at. Clean, comfortable (oh the beds!), with so many personal touches that made us feel right at home. And the location is wonderfully situation a half block away from 41st, so can easy walk to shops, eateries, coffee shops... as well as Pleasure Point and Capitola. As a host, Sara was super easy to communicate with & welcomed us warmly: a bottle of wine, a little puzzle for our kids, and even a toy for our pup. Check in/out couldn't have been easier. And while they live at the back of the property, they really designed the backyard and gates to provide privacy for all. We will definitely keep this lovely home in rotation for our future SC weekend getaways!

Welcoming and so comfortable.

Sara is the consummate hostess. This is our second visit and she did not disappoint. Since it was the beginning of December the house was tastefully decorated with a few nods to the holidays. She even had the burning Yule log running on the TV as we entered. We immediately felt the coziness of the house and we were so welcomed by the many treats she left for us and the dog. The house is very clean, the bed and sheets comfy and living room couches and pillows so inviting for lazy reading time or watching TV. Again the location is perfect and within short walks to dining and craft beer quaffing. We will be back!

Great spot close to downtown and dog friendly

Communication with owner was excellent. She left gifts for our dogs and bottle of wine for my friends bday. Beds were so comfortable, I slept great. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms were perfect either for Two singles or two couples. The larger of the two yards is a shared entrance woth the owner so careful leaving dogs out there without supervision and the other areas are better suited for smaller dogs. Parking in driveway is great. Kitchen well equipped if you are cooking. Comfortable house would go back. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but is a bonus!

Convenient, Spacious and Welcoming

We absolutely enjoyed our stay and so did our dog. Sara knows how to make her guests feel welcomed, with a welcome note and treats for all. The house was more than enough room for us and I would recommend that it would also be great for two couples or for a family. One excellent feature is a door between the living room and the bedrooms in case some guests are nights owls and like to visit or watch TV late or if someone is using the living room as a sleeping area. The room with the king size bed also opens to the front yard which was convenient when our dog wanted to go out after bedtime. The location is perfect as there are many restaurants close by and you are within walking distance of Capitola ( the walk back is all up hill though) but really, nothing is very far when in Santa Cruz. We will definitely go back and we are planning our next visit already.

Fabulous family time, with adult children

This was our first VRBO experience, and we were pleased with every aspect of our stay. Compared to hotels, this was beautiful, spacious, comfortable, safe, and relaxing. We appreciated the original art work, the tropical gardens, and the comforts of home. Our small, older dog was happier than he has ever been on a trip. The location is ideal, as the property is set between Capitola and Santa Cruz, just under half a mile from the beach. Thank you to Sara, our host, who went above and beyond to accommodate parking for my son's SUV and trailer. Wonderful memories: kayaking in Santa Cruz, an elegant, delicious meal at Shadowbrook, and relaxing in the hot tub. Everything went smoothly, and we felt at home. We loved our first VRBO stay! Thank you Sara for the extra touches that made us feel welcomed. Kelly and family

Bad VRBO experience

Not very good at all. No hot water for two days. Cold showers in December are not fun. Sink and garbage disposal broke and were inoperable for three days. This made Christmas Eve and Christmas Day meals difficult. Plumbers told us we should get a refund since the sink and disposal were clogged with black gunk and goo for a really long time. Owner offered nothing. Will not return, ever.
