Cute Cabana

This property suited my friend and I. Easy to walk to all parts of Santa Cruz and we used the hot tub every day. Weather not kind enough to encourage us into the sea or to use the outside space as much as we would have liked but excellent to have all of the equipment to hand. Kitchen well equipped, TV resource excellent and beds big and comfortable. Only not so positive feedback is the property would benefit from a paint refresh and new curtains to make it perfect but these are small details overall. Many thanks to our hosts!

Santa Cruz

Very nice small but fine house with everything you need for a holiday. We had a perfect time. The pool in the garden was perfect for the winter stay after surfing. The wheels for the explorations were really fun.

The location is the best!

Property was as described. Parking is a bit tricky, but worth it for the proximity to all that Santa Cruz has to offer. The kitchen was equipped with most of what we needed, beds were comfortable, and we really enjoyed the backyard amenities. It’s close to the wharf and boardwalk and a short drive to West Cliff.

Great location

We loved our stay. The house is charming, the back area is very nice, the hot tub is great. I specifically rented this because of the bikes, we didn't end up using them much but nice to have them available. The location is great, we walked to pacific mall for coffee in the morning, to the beach, boardwalk and wharf in 5-10 minutes. The only downside is the bathroom. The shower is awful. The shower head is nice but it makes a really loud scream when you turn the water on. It wasn't draining very well either, which I told the owner about and I assume that will be cleared, it is an easy fix. This house is small and cozy, which we loved. The kitchen looked odd to me in the picture but in real life is great. Well stocked with everything you need to cook with and plenty of counter space.

About the host

Hosted by Paul & Kate Winkler

Our family moved to Santa Cruz years ago looking for a nice place to settle down and raise our daughter. Having lived in the big city for decades (San Francisco and Chicago), we wanted a tightly knit community, with all of the amenities of a big city, and of course a killer location. We couldn't be any happier. Santa Cruz is amazing.

Why they chose this property

We have a child and know how difficult and expensive it can be to travel with kids and the logistics of getting a family to the beach and back with all the required equipment. So, we wanted to provide a family friendly place for people to come and experience all of the great things in Santa Cruz while providing everything you need for a day at the beach and a wagon to stuff it all in for the walk. We are walking distance to Cowell's beach, the Boardwalk, the Wharf, West cliff drive and downtown. We have provided all of the fun amenities that a rental should have for families (bikes, boogie boards, wet suits, beach chairs, hot tub, etc). All of this for the cost of a hotel room with much more to offer.
