Palisades Cottage -Dog Friendly

Summary:
Palisades Cottage is a dog friendly property located just blocks from a premiere surf beach!

The Space:
Tastefully furnished with a modern yet comfortable design, this Pleasure Point Cottage is dog-friendly and perfect to gather family and friends.  Short-term Rental permit #221198.

Three bedrooms - one with a king size bed and two bedrooms with queen size beds -, two and a half baths, plus a large recreation room complete with a pool table and an extra queen bed and closet.  A large deck, complete with a BBQ and a teak patio table and chairs, leads out to a spacious and private yard that is a botanical pleasure. One dog is allowed with the payment of a $50 non-refundable pet fee.

Enjoy wine tasting; surfing; cycling; walking trails, beaches & tide pools!  Rinse off in the hot outdoor shower after a long day at the beach.  Stargaze in the tranquility provided by a cul-de-sac facing a green zone yet steps away from the beach.

A range of reef and beach breaks can be found along the pleasant stretch of coastline outside the door. This sunny house is a quick stroll away from the sandy beaches of 26th Ave and Pleasure Point - home to world class surfing, boogie-boarding, and beautiful tide pools.  From the dog-friendly beaches to the restaurants and recreational activities, Pleasure Point provides all the benefits of the quintessential California life.

This beach family house is only a 5 minute drive to Capitola Village and a 10 minute drive to the Boardwalk yet it is tucked away on a quiet street in the neighborhood of Pleasure Point.  Only 40 minutes from San Jose International Airport and 1 ½ hours south of San Francisco.  Drive 45 minutes south to Monterey, Cannery Row, the famous Monterey Bay Aquarium and beautiful Pebble Beach and Carmel... the options are endless!

There was decent space for our group of 7. Dining room could be bigger, but the backyard had nice space- a dining table, fire pit, and nice area to sit. 5-10 min walk to the beach. Quiet neighborhood. I read previous reviews about not enough kitchen supplies, but when we stayed, there were enough pots/pans/dishes/cups for our needs, which included making/eating breakfast at the house.

Spacious, great location but needs a deep cleaning

We loved our stay here, if was more than spacious and the location was great, close to the beach. The home has a dirty smell though and all kitchen-ware was greasy with only one pan available to cook. I think that a deep cleaning of the home is needed. The yard was also great for my fur baby. Overall it was a nice home.

A Nice Little Venue

We found most things to our liking, with four of us most of the time and other family in for Christmas dinner. It was a bit crowded at the table for 8. Pool table was a giant hit for young and old. Kitchen was nicely appointed for most things a person would need for cooking. The fenced yard is really quite large, lots of seating and would be a joy in the summer but when rainy as on our visit, not so much! We took many walks to a beach nearby. One odd negative that should be fixed is a queen bed that slants downward.

It was a very convenient location,, close to the beach in a quiet neighborhood. The pool table was a hit with the boys. Lovely backyard. Hot and cold taps in master bath are reversed, a warning would be nice.

Comfortable to large family

Stayed in November and was pleased with the property. It could really use a deep cleaning. The outdoor area is great size but the furniture is pretty worn. For the price I hope they can keep it up. Love the location.

Bring a shower mat

My mother fell in the shower as it is slippery and there was not any anti-slip mat. She hit her head resulting in a concussion and some bruising on her leg. The broiler pan along with the baking sheet was filthy. Other than that we enjoyed our stay.

Quiet and convenient to the beach

This property is the perfect area for being in Santa Cruz. A 6 minute walk to the beach. The beach is not overly populated with people. The area is quiet. It is easy to get to the freeway as well as going over to the Beach Boardwalk area. Would definitely stay here again.

Relaxing beach stay

My friends and I had a great time celebrating our birthdays at the Palisades Cottage. I think the pictures don't do it justice. It's spacious, but cozy, and the backyard was a great space to hang out and grill up some dinner. Quiet neighborhood, walking distance to beach, and some good bird watching, too! Very pleasant stay overall.

Pleasant Stay in Pleasant Point Cottage

We enjoyed the property and it's location very much. It suited our five family members very well. The only things the owners might want to give some attention to (and these are very minor): The carpet in the master bathroom is a bit too thick to allow opening the door when it is on the floor. Some kitchen utensils and dish ware are limited for a family of five. None of these items distracted from our appreciation of this fine home where we enjoyed a lovely Christmas vacation.

Great trip.

House is on a dead end street, which was very safe for the kids to ride scooters. The walk to Moran Lake Beach is not too far. Walking on East Cliff is also a fun walk. House was nicely furnished and kitchen has enough stuff for cooking, but it is very small. Bathrooms look like they have been recently remodeled. Main bath shower and toilet area is very narrow. Backyard is nice, but gravel, no grass. We went Boardwalk, about a 15 minute drive. We would stay again.
