Summary: Perfect property for pets, nice enclosed backyard. The backyard had an amazing Honeysuckle bush which covered the back wall! It was in bloom and smelled amazing! Also the front deck was perfect for watching sunsets. The front deck was great for watching the harbor with beautiful costal breeze.Walking across the street for coffee and a breakfast treat, a Mexican restaurant with subperb margaritas! Then top that off with the Crow's Nest for Happy Hour Upper Deck. On Wednesday's there is an amazing sailboat regalia! Also great for dog walks and bikerides. Rate this property a 10!

Summary: Had a wonderful two night stay in May and was incredibly happy with the property and area. The place was incredibly cute and perfect for a romantic getaway. Steps from the beach, with a porch and lovely back patio to spend time in. The location is wonderful, a 25 minute walk to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and more a short walk or drive away. I can’t wait to book my next stay here!

Summary: The only issue we had was my wife was uncomfortable and I found it odd that the VRBO listing does not mention this property being "a shared property" as described by the management booklet inside the property. This being a shared property is known only after you have rented (at a 500.00 per night rate). So what happens is you are constantly wondering when and if someone will use and arrive at the cottage in the back. Your stay becomes awkward. VRBO should make it requirement to list "a shared property" in their original listing descriptions. These comments are from prior property owners that rented our properties through VRBO.

Summary: My 70+ father stayed here and absolutely loved it. The location could not be beat, and he said any street noise was not heard in the bedroom, which is in the back. It was comfortable for him and had everything he needed for a week at the beach.

Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay over the Christmas weekend. The house is clean and is just as described in the listing. It took a couple of phone calls and texts to have someone address a hot water issue but everything worked out fine in the end. Great location. We would stay here again.

Summary: The property was exactly as advertised. It was wonderful being a stone's throw from the beach, where there was a great deal of activity. The house is on a one-way street with very little traffic.
