Recent Santa Cruz County guest reviews

This place is really nice and clean. The homeowner really took the time and put a lot of effort in this house. It is gorgeous and I really enjoyed my stay. I would say anyone that comes in respect the house. The homeowner is willing to share this beautiful house with guests. We should appreciate it and keep it clean and functional as well. Thank you for trusting me with your home. :)

We loved that we could hang out with our dog on the deck and enjoy the Redwoods. The view and the neighborhood are pluses. What a beautiful drive from town! The interior was fine, but some of the furniture wasn't the most comfortable. I'd recommend bringing your own pillow. The shower and tub could use an update and the doors are hard to open. Wifi worked great, and the cabin was stocked with everything we needed. Overall we had en enjoyable, relaxing stay.

Stay here with a group of 8 adults. Plenty of room for everyone. Very bright and spacious. Backyard was great for sitting outside in the evenings. 5 minutes walk to the beach. Highly recommend!
