Great kitchen, living room and plenty of bed options. The backyard is very spacious and protected from any ocean breezes. Would definitely stay there again!
This house is unforgettable! The location couldn't be better. You can hear the waves crashing from the back yard. It was clean, spacious, and well furnished. My family and I had a wonderful time. This is one to bookmark for return trips!
Good location, very accommodating host, no washer dryer, dated bathroom, very nice outdoor areas front and back, old fashioned bed linens
Very pretty beaches and friendly people in town
We needed a break from the Valley Heat and just loved this home that's steps away from the ocean. Pet friendly so our dog loved it too. Kitchen is expansive and beds were very comfortable. Juist a grteat place to really chill for the long weekend. Highly recommend.
We had a wonderful time at Ohana house while visiting family. The quiet neighborhood steps away from Westcliff was just perfect. The backyard was a great place for everyone to relax and listen to the waves in the afternoon. I highly recommend!
Our sonâs UCSC Grad weekend was a huge success and made even better while staying at this property. We were able to accommodate family members on the very spacious patio for an early evening dinner as there is plenty of seating, tables and shade which made for a very relaxing and beautiful setting to celebrate.
Our host was extremely responsive and the property is as shown on the website.
The property definitely enhanced what was already a very special and memorable weekend.
We had a great time! The house is very comfortable, was spotlessly clean, and is in a great location just a short walk or drive from several small gorgeous beaches. We cooked Thanksgiving dinner using the double oven and had a wonderful lazy pandemic holiday playing card games and watching movies. It was easy to avoid crowds by heading to the beach or the tide pools at off-peak hours and it was a much needed change of scenery for our family. Very glad we took this trip!
Our family are Santa Cruz locals but we needed extra space for everyone when we had a Celebration of life service. I havenât spent much time on the Westside but itâs gorgeous and quiet. Definitely not a place if you want to be loud. Neighbors are very quiet and you donât want to be the person making noise here. Place is clean and well appointed.
You cannot beat the location for this rental! We did a girl's weekend with my stepmom, stepsister, our dog and me and this place was perfect. We each had our own room and plenty of room to spread out. We cooked a lot and the kitchen was perfectly stocked. Loved the stove! Backyard was beautiful and we spent a lot of time back there. We were a bit disappointed to see a big hot tub back there but instructions that we not allowed to use it - would have been the icing on the cake! Some of the lighting in the house needs updating and the small second bathroom could use a little love, but overall this place was phenomenal. Also should mention that the owner was very responsive and kind.
We had a wonderful time in Santa Cruz. Key points:
1. Location is great - a block from the beach
2. Happy with the cleanliness - we were there for a longer stay and asked to hire their cleaner for a mid visit clean demonstrating how happy we were!
3. Owner was super responsive - and everything was exactly as promised
We are six 80 year-old college roomates who gather each year somewhere in the US and often in CA. Of all our rentals, this was one of our favorites. The owner was very easy to work with and responded quickly when we had a question. Our group always looks for a nice gathering place around the kitchen table and in the living room and this offered both. There were also lovely places to gather outside. The kitchen was well stocked with the necessary cookware to prepare a meal. We all agreed that this was a super home that met all our demands. We hope to return another year!
One minute walk away from a spectacular cliffside path / drive. Ten minute walk to Natural Bridges State Park with a lovely beach. Very comfortable house and very quiet neighborhood. 5 minute drive to lots of good food
Clean, cozy house with beautiful yards and mature landscaping provides privacy and peacefulness just steps from Westcliff. Close to wonderful restaurants and easy drive to downtown. We really enjoyed our time here, thank you for your hospitality!
We loved our weekend stay. My son was married in the Santa Cruz mountains and this home was the perfect home base for us. We got ocean view walks, a walk to Natural Bridges State Beach and a jump in the ocean, with redwoods and mountain views close by. The home is exactly as pictured, updated, clean and spacious. We enjoyed a quiet evening in the backyard on our last night reflecting on the wedding events of the previous few days. I'd love to come back when I have more time to just relax. Tim was very easy to communicate with and answered all of our questions. It's a quiet neighborhood with a gorgeous ocean view along Cliff Drive just steps away. I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a quiet family get away.
A very cozy beach house. The big picture is this place is great. It would be nice if it had some bikes to cruise the boardwalk. I canât say Iâm a fan of 10 AM check out time, or when cleaners show up at 10:01, but câest la vie.
This is a wonderful place to stay in Santa Cruz. Itâs quiet, peaceful and relaxing. The space was perfect for our group of 6 as we visited all the local spots. The kitchen and bathroom are both remodeled and very nice. Great front and back patio and living room space to gather and chill. WiFi worked great too! Only thing to keep in mind is there are no washer and dryer available but the local laundromats are close and easy. We definitely hope to return again!
We enjoyed our stay and the location is great. The house is nicely updated and beautifully furnished. We really liked the beach decor and it wasn't overdone. It's very light and airy, which is relaxing while on vacation. We could quickly do a coastal walk along West Cliff and see the seagulls and pelicans. We also went to Natural Bridges, the Beach Boardwalk, UCSC Arboretum and Mitchell's Cove. We highly recommend the Penny Ice Creamery, Companion BakeShop, Verve Coffee and Woodstock's Pizza! The kitchen was equipped for cooking at the home as well, including an outdoor grill.
Beautiful, super clean home, close to the beach. We loved the back patio with plenty of seating and space to hangout. The furniture in the living room was very comfortable as were the beds. Plenty of nice, new clean towels. We had a great time and hope to come back.
