Perfect Location

We had a wonderful stay over New Year’s. This property is amazing, with views that are unparalleled. We met owners (relatives) when we arrived and they were so helpful, sharing that there was an elevator I could use since I had just had surgery. Plenty of room for the family of 5. Outdated furniture that needs serious cleaning, but we looked out the front windows and all was forgiven! We’d stay here again.

Sixty in Santa Cruz!

I rented Villa Vista for a long weekend for my husband's 60th birthday celebration. Perfect for 3 couples! GREAT location, view, driving to restaurants, marina, fish markets, etc. House was well maintained with enough seating for us all to enjoy a day of watching football and BBQing out on the deck. Beds were very comfortable.

Beautiful view!

Great location and the communication was excellent. The only hiccup was that the TV (cable) was not very good. However, we were able to use the apps to watch. The good news is that the tv was rarely on as we were able to enjoy the roar of the ocean waves, which is why we selected this location. Great relaxing stay!

Loves the Sea Cliff property. All king beds ( super comfy) large and comfortable living room and kitchen. Incredible ocean views that gave us perfect bird watching. The house is a bit dated but it’s part of the charm.

Needs upgrading

This property offers a great location with amazing ocean front views. however, it needs upgrading. The common area furniture, living room, dining room and bar stools, should be replaced. . The chairs and sofa are worn out and uncomfortable, the bar stool cushions are badly stained. The kitchen, although well stocked with utensils, glasses, etc,, is a hodgepodge of garage sale items. The barbecue in the terrace has a lot to be desired. The mattresses are comfortable.

Views Are the Best

This property has a definite '80s vibe, but it is well equipped, and the ocean views from the waterfront windows are spectacular. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom arrangement worked perfectly for parents in their eighties and two sons and their consorts in their thirties, one with a five-month-old baby. Would rent again.

Omg!!! This property is amazing. A little outdated but who cares! It fit the beachy vibe. The beach was right there. The view was incredible. We saw the dolphins!!! We loved it! Can’t wait to come back. We were sad that the telescope wasn’t there. But hey the place was amazing!

Priceless thank views from upper deck

Musty smell when entering somewhat outdated upper unit, but the outstanding views of the ocean and the beach next door more than made up for it. Beds very comfortable and living room and bedrooms plenty spacious. Enjoyed walks along the beach and in the safe neighborhood.

The sunsets and view are amazing and honestly could not get much better

The view was gorgeous and great location! Felt like you had your own private beach next door. Some things needed a little attention, however the owner was very responsive and accommodating. I would rent this place again.
