I expected better

Room was small, we had to move furniture around just to walk around the bed. No dresser or closet space for clothes, so had to live out of the suitcase the whole week. The towel ring had fallen off the wall before we got there, the wall was partially repaired, but no place to hang the hand towel. We had to ask for more towels and TP, it's like they didn't know we were going to be there all week. They didn't tell us they had a dog until the day before we arrived; therefore we couldn't get our money back or switch accommodations. I think having a dog on site should be in the listing. Constant road noise. Not a quiet place. Stains on the carpet. The fridge door drags on the carpet, so it doesn't open easily. It literally took two people to open the fridge. The patio was nice. The hosts were responsive. But not worth 200 a night, and definitely won't stay here again.

Very nice, clean and easy. The deck was nice because I play the guitar and my wife does not want to hear me practice. The deck is a nice second private space with a view.

nice, private feeling stay in Santa Cruz

I really loved the private feel of the room and patio. The space felt bright and pretty clean. I think it could use new carpeting as there were several stains. The shower is pretty bad (way too much pressure for a small shower) but the owner said that he is going to fix that soon. Loved the patio!

Great unique place

Property was very nice and unique. The extra back patio made that overlooked the area mad it special to enjoy a glass of wine and some snacks, or a cup of coffee. And, it was very quiet.

Wonderful Stay!

I spent two nights here while my daughter was visiting a friend at UCSC and the stay was fantastic. Easy check in process, beautiful property, and very cozy rental. The bed was super comfortable and the sound of the rain on the roof was lovely. The view the next day and the sunset once the rain cleared was gorgeous. Also, the proximity to the store (Safeway) was great as I had to buy ice a couple of times (no freezer, just fyi). Not a big deal though. Hosts were friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back! :)

Perfect space for a Santa Cruz visit

This was a very cozy room with a lovely view and amazing outdoor patio (that we didn’t get to enjoy as our stay was too short ;( I hope to stay again next time I’m in SC! It’s exactly as pictured and the bed was incredibly comfortable. You won’t be disappointed : ) Also, it’s a nice quiet location not too far from UCSC, downtown and the beach. (Short drive to each)

Great little find

We loved our overnight stay at this property in Capitola the terraced area was fantastic where we watched the most amazing sunset. We also got to see our first hummingbird whilst sitting on the terrace which was just magical. We visited Shadowbrook for dinner and UCSC Arboretum and Botannical gardens which were superb!

Really cute and quaint room

Super quiet, cute, quaint room if you prefer over a hotel. Easy entry, exactly as pictured. Perfect for my sister and I for wedding weekend. Central location, easy to walk to everything, nice neighborhood. Bed was SO comfortable!! Bedding and towels were amazing ! Only negatives, shower pressure is a bit too much and no decaf k cups which really aren’t major complaints, given the rest of the stay was perfect.

My husband and I stayed here for one night after staying in a few different hotels and were so happy with the change of pace with an easy check-in, our own little patio, and a beautiful view. Close to downtown Santa Cruz and the wharf in a nice neighborhood. We would stay here again!
