It’s a great property- quaint and vintage with the right updates to make it livable for a whole family. The location is amazing - it’s clearly a favorite access point for local surfers and beachcombers. It was also central for a. Umber of day trips to Monterey, Carmel, and San Jose. There was a local power outage during our stay, and the owners were super communicative throughout. The only thing that would have made the stay in A+ plus would be a few minor updates to finicky toilet handles, and a slow water heater. Otherwise, well worth the trip! ##### Brian M.

Growing up in Santa Cruz was a blessing though I had moved away in 1990\. Rarely visiting in the years since we had a large family gathering to attend & I wanted my family to experience the ocean way of life I grew up with, La Sirena provided it. The song of the waves does wonders for your heart & soul. Waking up for coffee & reading a book sitting in a chair watching the ocean never gets old. oh, & if you like mermaids this is your place! Nautical decor & old fashioned beach cottage charm, all within steps of the sand. ##### David M. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Brent R. Sep 16, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A lovely home in an amazing location! We had a lovely long weekend at La Sirena. I would definitely stay again and highly recommend this really lovely property with lovely hosts! Hearing the ocean waves as we walked up to this adorable victorian was a magical start to our trip. Upon entering, the high ceilings make the room feel spacious while still being cozy, and the back room and kitchen are bright with a view of the ocean. The real star is the rooftop deck, which is up a, rusty, but still functional spiral staircase. We spent all the time we could up there with that view! The hosts were helpful and responsive. I felt confident leading up to our visit and they were great during our stay as well. They even put up with my mom texting them! I do want to share some opportunities, which I'm confident the host will address, if they haven't already. There's an added weatherstripping on the front door that is sharp and very close to the handle. Unfortunately, a couple of us did cut/scrape our hands when trying to open the door. We also noticed that there was a mold looking substance on the fridge water spout and hard water buildup on the kitchen sink faucet. We notified the host and opted to buy some water bottles, they were very apologetic and offered to pay for them. A couple other small things like socks getting a bit dirty walking around inside and that the couches should probably be replaced soon, nothing that I would consider a dealbreaker. Overall an amazing stay and great hosts. Don't miss out! ##### Brent R. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jessica H.

Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ella B. Aug 29, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy We had a wonderful stay at the house! It has everything a family or group of friends need. The kitchen is well-stocked and the house has everything needed to take advantage of the beach which is steps away! The views from the deck are stunning and the house is cozy! Could not recommend this house enough! ##### Ella B. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Henry G. Aug 26, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy This property had the charm of a Victorian Beach cottage with the convenience of a modern, well equipped kitchen with lots of extras supplied like paper products, spices, etc. The rooftop patio gave spectacular views. Bedrooms were comfortable. The “mermaid” themed decor was delightful! Extremely well located, steps to beach, short walk to Starbucks and Live Oak farmers market. Lots of beach equipment and games. We had a great time! ##### Henry G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Eric L.

We loved soft beds and great views. The home was warm and wonderfully close to the beach. ##### Eric L. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Darrell Z.

Four adults and two children under 10 had a blast at this great beach house located steps away from the beach in Santa Cruz area. Very convenient very laid-back and very fun. Flew kites, boggie boarded, grilled out, and had many seal and otter sightings. Sunsets and wine on roof deck. Great stay and owners touched base to be sure all was good! ##### Darrell Z.

Jun 16, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Rented this charming beach cottage for my nephew’s graduation. It was perfect. Hosted 2 dinners at the home and everyone loved the house. The home is bigger than it appears with a large living room and a large family room. Plus it has an incredible roof top deck. The location was also ideal being only a house or two away from the beach. ##### Jessica C.
