"We will always come here. We get the ocean view room with balcony and we just love it. To be able to sit out there at night and listen to water and people watch on the boardwalk. Just a neat little place. The only think I don't like is the parking. It's small but hey better than having to find parking somewhere!"

10/10 Excellent
"The house was clean and very spacious. We loved the Keurig and different coffee choices. It was very relaxing sitting in the backyard with a fire pit to warm you in the cool evening. Parking was very ample. It’s located just a few doors down from a most beautiful view of the ocean.Four of us stayed there with our mountain bikes secured in the garage. We plan on returning and booking the same home sometime in the near future.Would highly recommend this house to anyone who wants to enjoy a visit to Santa Cruz."
