I have stayed at several vacation homes at VRBO as well as another site. This is the BEST experience I have had. The whole process from the beginning to the end was the smoothest I've ever done. Both Kimberly, the property manager and Kathleen, the owner went out of their way to make sure you knew places to see as well as places to eat. They emailed me info and had a wonderful notebook with information in the house. They were available should you have any questions. Now about their beautiful home. The rooms and beds were very clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is well stocked and makes serving meals like being at home (except she has prettier dishes than I do...lol). The backyard has a firepit and the cleanest BBQ we have ever seen. In fact I had to get their cleaning secret to use on my home BBQ. Our favorite part of this home was how warm and inviting it made all of us feel. The decor is adorable with a beach/Santa Cruz theme. The location was a block from Westcliff Street which is the street that borders the coast. I went on several walks up to the lighthouse (1.6 miles away) in the morning. The view of the ocean was breathtaking. If you go the other way it is only half a mile to Natural Bridges where they have a beach that you can use the boogie boards that are in the house. The water was too cold for us to try this though. Several times on my evening walk, I would see dolphins near the kelp beds. Now that was fun to watch! I have already told some friends about this house if they should go to Santa Cruz. You can't go wrong staying at this beautiful and wonderfully located home.

Perfect Location
This house was perfect for two families with kids - the parents had their own rooms and the 4 kids stayed in the bunk room. The house was perfectly located for us to ride our bikes to the beach. Natural Bridges State Beach was the closest and a great beach to hang out on and great for body boarding - but definitely had the roughest waves. There are other beaches in the opposite direction that aren't too far by bike as well, that are much calmer - these beaches allow dogs as well. We even rode our bikes to the pier which ended up being a 6 mile round trip ride. The kids had a blast seeing the sea lions at the end of the pier. The location was perfect for us to do a morning bike ride/beach excursion for a couple of hours, come back to the house for lunch, let the kids decompress for a couple of hours, go back out for a sunset beach excursion and come back for dinner. Overall a great location away from the crowds. As far as the house goes, as already noted the house was great for two families. The kids basically stayed in their bedroom when at the house - between their own screens and the TV with VCR in the bedroom. The main living room was nice for decompressing at night and there is a small room off the kitchen that another group could hang out in. The outside was a great hang out with the fire pit in the evenings. The only recommendations I would make is in the kid's room, the mattress on the bottom bunk was extremely worn to the point where you could feel the springs and very uncomfortable for the kids sleeping on it. If you don't want to get a new mattress I would suggest getting a foam mattress cover. The other recommendation I have is to get a couple of cheap fans to put in the bedrooms and keep in the closet. While Santa Cruz is normally very cool, we were there during one of the hottest weekends and it was very hot in the bedrooms at night. Keeping cheap fans in the closet for use when needed would be great. All in all, a great vacation and we would definitely go back!

A cozy house steps from the ocean
I had a good feeling about this house before our booking was even confirmed by the owner. She messaged me on VRBO to check that I was aware that the weekend was forecast to be rainy, and didn’t want us to be disappointed. I really appreciated that. We were indeed aware and were ready for a possibly rainy weekend getaway (luckily it only really rained the first day and for a bit on the last day). And it was great how she checked in with us via message to make sure we were doing ok in the house, even offering a later check out time if needed. The house was super clean and well-maintained. Even the outdoor furniture was clean! Loved the little Santa Cruz decor throughout. As well as the very many board games, books available. The house is just steps away from a magnificent ocean view and my family enjoyed many walks (even in the chilly wind). On the first clear sunny evening, many cars illegally parked along the side of the road to watch the stunning sunset and my son remarked that all we had to do was step out of the vacation house to see this sight. My 8-year-old’s thoughts: The house was cozy and warm and close to the ocean. My 6-year-old’s thoughts: I loved the double-decker bed and I could see the ocean from the driveway! Highly recommended!

Perfect location and very clean
Everything was clean and check in process was seamless and simple. For us, three doors down from front row on west cliff is hard to beat. Lots of room. Great rental. We will rent again.

Can't wait for a return visit!
The West Cliff Getaway home was very nice. I stayed there for five nights and would love to stay there again. The owner and manager were stellar to work with. The house's location just steps from the cliff walk was amazing. I really enjoyed being able to take a few steps and watch beautiful sunsets every night. The house had everything you could possibly want, and it is in walking distance to some nice shops and brewery/restaurants on Swift Street. Spending evenings around the backyard firepit was especially nice. You can't go wrong here!

Beautiful Santa Cruz location
First, don't hesitate to book this place - it is amazing! You won't find a better rental in Santa Cruz, and if you happen to be there for Ironman Santa Cruz 70.3, it is a perfect location for spectating! Second, the owner(s) are amazingly gracious, kind, responsive and friendly. Third, but not least, the house is SO comfortable - like truly being at home away from home. There are plenty of provisions (from spices in the kitchen to extra soap and shampoo in the bathrooms and extra towels everywhere!) Our boys loved the variety of games in the living room (Twister was a fun diversion). The beds are comfortable and there are extra bedding items should you need them. There are lovely throw blankets near every seating area also. You can tell this house is lovingly prepared for guests each and every time and it really is one of the best houses we have found on VRBO/HomeAway (and we've been a lot of places!) The proximity to everything fun in Santa Cruz was great. There are so many entertaining things to do nearby, but the backyard is beautiful, and maintained so well, that you probably won't want to leave anyway. :) Special thanks to Kathleen - our family had a wonderful time and we look forward to hopefully coming back next year!

Cute Little Getaway House
This house was perfect for a getaway with extended family, 6 adults, 2 teenagers and 1 4 year old. The house was clean and roomy. The location was perfect, by the cliffs in Santa Cruz. Kimberly and Kathleen were great hosts and very responsive to inquiries via text. We had a great stay.

Great place for family get-together
This house is in an excellent location near the beach and has a lovely back yard. It was perfect for our two families. The house was clean and tidy inside and out, and well provisioned with kitchen/cooking appurtenances and dishes. We also noted /appreciated details like bandaids in each bathroom.

Wonderful Santa Cruz home
This home was cozy, comfortable, and cuter than the photos depicted. The owner Katleen was attentive and very easy to reach with questions. We had a group of 9 and there was plenty of room. The location was amazing; very close to beautiful walks along West Cliff Drive, good restaurants, minutes from the boardwalk. We would absolutely stay there again.
