"The house was absolutely perfect! We stayed with two other families and the big room was ideal for the kids! The outdoor area was stunning and a great space for the kids to run around. The location was convenient and the host was very responsive. We will definitely look to stay here again if/when we get back to Santa Cruz! "

"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. "

"By the Sea" House - Walk to trails, the beach, pubs, wine tasting or Boardwalk
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (32)
"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."

COLORFUL HISTORIC VENETIAN COURT #8 ON CAPITOLA BEACH
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (76)
"Besides bringing your own sheets/towels...parking was a challenge. Kitchen was well stocked. Couch/bed fairly uncomfortable. Half of beach chairs broken. But, in the end, you can't beat the location."

Hear the ocean from this historic cottage. Almost beachfront.
9.2 out of 10, Wonderful, (220)
"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...
