The only thing that put us off was hot tub was reallly old and only had lukewarm water..never hot. The owner was kind enough to send the maintenance guy over while we were there, but that didnt help. we wish we knew of this issue before hand, we would have defi chosen another property from our options. but other than that, we had a wonderful stay and the house was very well taken care of. ##### Jyoti L.

The beach expands to 26th ave beach which is great for surfer. This family vacation in this house was great for all of us from teenagers to seniors. The kitchen has everything we needed to cook since we cooked every meals including rice cooker, slow cooker, and huge pots. The master bedroom was spacious and futon bed was very useful. Three bedrooms upstair are nicely remodeled and have great view of ocean. There was no extra bedsheets for rooms. The fitted sheet on my bedroom had a red stain, but no extra sheet to replace. Also there is no extra blankets. I think this house is good for maximum 8 people. It would be nicer if they have one sofa bed in the livingroom. My family live pretty close to Santa Cruz, so we brought extra mattresses and blankets for our teenagers. There are lots of beach towels and the shower outside house was really good after swimming at the beach Also hot tub was great! ##### Jiyoung O. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2020 ### 4/10 Poor #### Juan R. Apr 16, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, listing accuracy #### $MM View that’s Unkept & without a Host We booked for a long weekend to host a family reunion, and right off the bat host was non-wavering in early/late checkout (but at this point at least they were getting back to us). When we arrived, we found that there were no Sonos speakers as listed under amenities, and texted right away, only to receive a response over 24 hours later. They apologized as they were being fixed, funny, maybe you should have “fixed”your listing too. In exploring more, our children found cigarette butts littered in the back yard and beer cans left in the bin of kids toys. And later that evening we discovered that the hot tub leaked (a lot). The pool guy confirmed the next day when he can by for monthly service that it had been this way for awhile and asked if we wouldn’t mind filling back up after every use. Finally, word to the wise that the listing was very accurate in that there is only parking for two cars and all other vehicles (even visitors) will need to find street parking. What it doesn’t tell you is that the street parking starts two blocks away. Amazing views, walking distance to beach (no beach access from house), in a great part of town that unfortunately is not well kept and maintained by any sort of host whatsoever! ##### Juan R. Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2023 ### 6/10 Okay #### Janet G., Walnut Creek Jul 12, 2018 #### Great view, great location, but house not vacation friendly This house sits above the sand with a lovely view, but to access the sand you must walk to the end of the street and around a busy corner. The beach is gorgeous, uncrowded, and bordered by a large lagoon. You must hike around the lagoon to get to the waves through a narrow passage between the lagoon and the sand (which is not easy since you are crawling over rocks). Getting to the ocean is not as easy as it looks in the picture. About that 4th bedroom: it is a small room off of another bedroom, which would have been fine except.... the queen bed took up the entire room, and sat elevated so high that it required stairs. Completely not suitable for kids who could easily be injured if they fell off. We improvised by having the adults sleep in that little room with the skyscraper bed, and let the kids have the bigger bedroom, but why have a skyscraper bed in the first place? Then there is the downstairs (master?) bedroom....the "mattress" was folded over foam pads on top of a mattress pad that had another encased foam pad. If the idea is a foam mattress it didn't work. It felt like sleeping on a giant marshmallow. The only entrance to the back yard was through that bedroom so there is traffic that flows through the room. There was no dresser and no closet because the owners had barricaded the closet with a TV set up. The wall for a dresser had a large closed off closet which I believe was a movie viewing screen of some sort. Was I sleeping in a media room that was haphazardly converted to a bedroom for the rental? Felt that way.... Every inch of the kitchen was full of the owner's own food, appliances, and gadgets. (except fridge, which was empty). There was quite literally no cabinet space, no counter space, and no drawers left for us to place any of our own food. The dining room table seats 4 people. That's it. So we could never sit down together to eat, which was a big disappointment for me. Lastly, the rental contract with multiple threats and over the top warnings made every adult cringe. So unwelcoming and harsh. We don't want to be threatened with penalties, police, and large fines. We know how to behave at a vacation rental, and we own one ourselves. Tara, as always, is great to work with. The house was clean. The location is great. But multiple changes need to be made for vacationers to have a pleasant experience with this house. Or the owners just need to admit they don't want rentals. ##### Janet G. Stayed 8 nights in Jun 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kareem B.

One thing I didn’t care for is to go to the backyard you have to walk through our bedroom. The kids loved the high bed they slept in. We had perfect weather and the beach was easy to get to and it was beautiful. ##### Mary S.
