We had an amazing stay! The house was absolutely beautiful, clean, spacious, and well taken care of. The pool was a huge hit and made for the perfect place to relax. It was also just a quick drive to the store and all the great spots in town, which made everything super convenient. The owners were incredibly attentive and friendly, making the whole experience even better. We’ll definitely be booking again for our next trip to Santa Cruz!

Great get away

Sean and Wendy are wonderful hosts. They are friendly and had good communication with us. Their home worked great for our staff planning retreat of 8 (6 adults and 2 children). The home is well cared for, plenty of space, comfortable beds and a nicely supplied kitchen. We appreciated the larger dining room table and family room that fit us all. Oh, and bonus - the sunsets were amazing!

Amazing Property!

We visited family in Santa Cruz and this house, the landscaping, pool and all the amenities were amazing! There are many options for food and grocery delivery nearby and the house came fully stocked. Even the pots and pans were plentiful and new for cooking. The feedback with the owners was great and timely. Everything was absolutely perfect! Our kids loved the pool and the lizards that visited the property. They can’t wait to come back. This is our 4th trip to Santa Cruz and this is our top stay here - hands down!

Poolside Paradise

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home! The house was big enough to accommodate 6 kids and 2 adults without everyone being on top of each other. The house was well stocked and had a nice flow to it! The outdoor area and the pool were extremely peaceful and the serene. Our host was communicative, attentive, and helpful. Thanks Sean and Wendy!!!

Beautiful Getaway

The hosts were patient and responsive to our inquiries. The home was cozy, comfortable, clean and well stocked with essentials! Our mornings were met with deer sightings and hummingbirds bathing in the fountain on the patio. And finally the most memorable was the beautiful sunset!
