Hosts were very receptive to communications, they were very helpful with questions etc. Lovely remodeled home with a wonderful kitchen. We could hear the waves from the master bedroom, such a wonderful week for our family.
This house is very comfortable! We had a wonderful time. You can see the waves from the front porch. It is a short walk down to the beach. Our family and our dog had the best time!!
Amazing location and perfect set up for our family vacation. All the comforts of home and many thoughtful touches that made our stay so enjoyable. The host was wonderful and had great communication. Would love to rent again someday soon:)
You cannot beat the location of this home. Within walking distance of one of the best beaches in Santa Cruz and several restaurants as well as a coffee shop for your morning coffee.This home has Wonderful ocean views, and plenty of room for family to enjoy.
Staying at this perfectly situated and appointed, and lovingly cared for home, is simply a slice of heaven. This was our third stay and has now become an absolute family favorite. It offers an easily accessible respite from the hectic pace of silicon valley, with only a short drive in order to enjoy. The home is carefully supplied with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the location cannot be beat. The hosts are easy to communicate with and amenable to your needs. Can't say enough about this special place, and can't wait to return!
Perfect getaway and great host! Marie was very responsive to any questions I had and personable. Loved the location and accommodations, not to mention it was only a short walk to the beach!
This house is ideally located near a beach in Santa Cruz. We enjoyed watching the waves role in from the upstairs bedroom. Seeing the lights across the bay in Monterey at night was awesome. The hosts were very kind and very responsive to our questions. We've stayed in other houses in Santa Cruz, and this is by far the best.
This was our 2nd year staying here. We love the location, nice & close to the beach. Nice to be in walking distance of Java Junction, El Palomar Mexican restaurant and Crows Nest
We had another fantastic family vacation at this property in Twin Lakes. What a great location to the beach, food, boardwalk, etc. We highly recommend for your family stay.
Great location. Love staying here and communication with host is excellent. House is well equipped and party store, fish market, and pet friendly beach are within walking distance.
This is our third stay at this Twin Lakes home with our family. We absolutely love the location, amenities within walking distance, and the communication with the homeowners.
We really enjoyed our visit. The bedrooms and amenities were all as described and we were able to sleep comfortably. We did find instances of things not being thoroughly cleaned. For example, when we lifted couch cushons off the couch, there were crumbs underneath, the kitchen table was a little sticky, and the floor in the downstairs bathroom was also a little sticky. Still, overall our trip was quite enjoyable. Thank you!
We love our beach house and are excited about sharing it with others. We hope they enjoy it as much as we have. We have been married for over 50 yrs. and have 3 married children and 7 grandchildren. Rick has been in the construction business for most of his life and I recently retired as real estate agent for Alain Pinel Realtors in Saratoga. We live in Los Gatos, a short trip over the hill from Santa Cruz.
We bought this home many years ago as a rental for college students. We always hoped we would be able to rebuild it for ourselves in the future. It was a great dream come true when we completed the remodel.
We love that we can walk everywhere from this home. The popular Twin Lakes beach is just a short block away. Bon fires light up the beach in the evening, sail boat races can be viewed from our deck, and lively beach volley ball games are a common occurrence. Don't miss the ukelele concert on Saturday mornings in front of the Java Junction. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance. We especially enjoy the Crows Nest upstairs on Weds. night when the sail boat races are taking place. Johnnie's Harborside, the Java Junction, El Palomar, and Lago di Coma are also favorites of ours. Deke's market on 7th Ave. is a great place for sandwiches and various grocery sundries. There are public tennis courts and a great kids park a few minutes away on 7th Ave. We also enjoy walking and riding bikes on the harbor road where the sea otters, seals, and pelicans are always entertaining. The Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk is a 5-minute drive away with the famous wooden roller coaster and many other thrilling rides for all ages. A 18-hole minature golf course at the boardwalk is also a good way to spend an afternoon. Downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola nearby offer unique shopping opportunities, movie theaters, and other excellent restaurants.
