Perfect Santa Cruz Getaway!
My son had his heart set on going to Santa Cruz to celebrate his 12th birthday. This home was absolutely the perfect place to do that! The house and the location were perfect. Just a short walk to the local beach, and the owners provided everything you could need for a fun day there: boogie boards, wetsuits, sand, toys, etc. The house itself was stocked with everything you might need as well. Owners communicated very well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

A Touch of Zen
If I could dream of a home near the beach, this would check all the boxes. You are welcomed through the garden gate with a beautiful flowers and a garden filled with hummingbirds and butterflies. The home is warmly decorated in a beach theme and appointed with everything you need for your stay. Cathy thought of everything! There is a big updated kitchen, wood burning fire place and firepit on the patio. Bikes, wetsuits and board games in the garage. Each room had amazing plants or fresh flowers, that added a touch of zen. A short walk down the block and you are at the stairs to the beach, the first day we spotted whales, seals and an otter. A friendly neighborhood with an established quiet zone starting at 10 p.m. We were very relaxed and slept soundly during the quiet nights. Cathy provided helpful communications and updates as needed. The location is a short distance to the Boardwalk, Seabright, Twin Lakes, Pleasure Point and Capitola, where we attended the Arts & Wine Festival. We look forward to returning for another relaxing weekend or with our kids and grandkids to explore more!

Another excellent stay!
We've stayed here I think 4 or 5 times in the last several years. Cathy and Andre are amazing hosts. Great communication. Never any issues. Perfect location to get to the beach, especially since you do not have to drive and deal with parking. Would definitely recommend to absolutely everyone! Looking forward to our next visit!

Perfect home away from home
From the moment you drive up you feel at home. It. Is so welcoming…,the white picket fence and the beautiful flowers. The home is equipped with everything you need and more. It is within walking distance of the 26th Ave beach. This is an especially special location as my husband lived on 26th Ave as a child. We enjoyed our week and plan to return!!! Thank you Andre and Cathy for a perfect getaway.

Great couple days
We enjoyed the couple nights we spent here. Home was clean and had all we needed for cooking meals. Home was very inviting and beautiful with all the flowers. Very well maintained. Cathy was very easy to work with and very responsive to everything. Felt a little overwhelmed initially reading all the rules (e.g. seemed to imply we had to have all dishes cleaned and put away before we left), but quick confirmation with Cathy reassured us we just needed to load the dishwasher. Proximity to Target and coffee shops was nice. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay here again!
