"Our three-household family gathers every August for several days in a nice vacation spot. In the past, we reserved a large cabin at Lake Tahoe. This year, we decided to spend a week near beaches in Santa Cruz. The house on W. Cliff Drive was perfect for us. We'll have to do it again someday. "

"This two story home is in a great location. The second floor is almost self sufficient with a large living area and a mini kitchen. We were tortured by ants! I think an exterminator is in order. While there, there were issues with the upstairs toilet. A plumber was sent to no avail. The upstairs people had to use buckets to flush the toilet. We told the management company and they told us it would be dealt with after we checked out. The shower pressure downstairs was nonexistent. This may be...

"Very clean and well maintained property, even while occupying the location. A strong wind occurred overnight and we left the spa cover off. The next morning we discovered a lot of debris fell into it and was not in any condition to be used. However, we left to grab lunch, and when we checked the spa again, it was all clear and cleaned up! Was very happy to once again use the spa. A++"

"The property location was a 10/10. Overall, very clean and convenient. Would definitely recommend this property. "

"This property is really nice… nice older house with lots of charm, great backyard, and close to a lot of attractions. You can tell the owner has put a lot work into the home. Only problem is the noisy intersection the house sits at… cars go zooming by all day, and all night. On a Friday and Saturday night, the traffic noise is pretty bad if you’re a light sleeper."

"Didn’t understand this was a bedroom in a house—room and bed nice, bathroom with old fixtures but hot water is always good! Not terribly friendly with check in but it was late. Not much to do here—-but clean and fair priced "

"The property is quaint, and spacious - the stairs are not safe, however. otherwise it was a great place to stay - can't beat the location."

On the beach, sun-loungers, beach towels

"Very nice house. Had a malfunctioning coffee maker and it was replaced the next day. Great location near beach. "

"Great location in Santa Cruz and the house had a great layout and was very comfortable. Great view of the water and numerous birds. 3 min walk to the beach. 10 min drive to shopping areas. 30 min to redwoods and an hour to Monterey. When we come back to the area, we will be staying here again."

"This was a great place for me and family to stay for a quick trip to see the redwoods and Santa Cruz. We’d definitely book it again!"

"We had such a great time staying at Lauren's house! The beds were comfortable, the dining room table was large and fit everyone for dinner and the view from the balcony was beautiful and calming. We definitely recommend staying here! "

"House had a beautiful view, convenient to the beach, worth the value! Would return again."

"Such a lovely little gem in Santa Cruz...can't wait to come back when it's a bit warmer and we can use that fantastic window to the back deck. Hot tub was great and firepit was such a nice feature especially with its size. Hosts were very accomodating! Thanks for a great birthday weekend for our daughter <3"

"We had a wonderful time. The house was exactly what we were looking for. A half-mile from everything. Would definitely stay here again. "

"Great place to have fun, family time and enjoy the beach life."

"We loved staying here — adorable house and amazing proximity to a great beach. The "loaner" beach items at the house were so thoughtful...thanks for the beach towels, chairs, wagon, wetsuits and boogie board!"

"This place is pretty nice and cute, and has a great location. It's a bit tight on space, but we knew that going in. My main complaint is that the fold-out couch in the living room is very fragile. It has instructions about how to pull it out gently, etc., which we followed; but no matter how careful we were, the fold-out part always collapsed after a few minutes of light usage. So we told our son to sleep on the other half of it, which is the main couch part. The place also gets pretty hot...
