Panoramic Ocean Views - in Private Sanctuary

4.84 out of 5 average rating, 167 reviews2 weeks ago

We were blown away by this beautiful and spacious house. It’s the perfect size for six people, from the bedrooms and bathrooms to the enormous living room. Janiece is very helpful and responsive, providing us with clear check in and checkout instructions and replying to our questions within minutes. Above all, we were most impressed by the gorgeous views from the deck and the big, peaceful backyard. We explored Capitola and Santa Cruz during our stay, which were a 10 and 20 minute drive away respectively. My only advice for staying here is to be prepared to walk up a flight of wooden stairs to reach the front door and be careful while unloading your car in the driveway because it is quite steep. We can’t wait to be back!

Toby & Chels’ home was nice and cozy! It was just as described, with very comfortable beds & couch for lounging. The neighborhood was safe and peaceful, and perfect for my group of 4. Chels/team were responsive and provided multiple methods for communication, though their instructions and recommendations were clear, so I didn’t have to bug them too much :). I would definitely enjoy staying in their home in the future again, and highly recommend it!

Clean, well-appointed, spacious home less than a block from the beautiful Twin Lakes Beach. You can see the beach from chairs on the front lawn. We were lucky enough to be there during the lighted boat parade (first Saturday in December), so we watched the lighted boats in the water from the front yard. Everything was easily accessible. The home includes many amenities (washer/dryer, cooking supplies, games, pack n play). The room with the bunk beds has a separate bathroom, making it really nice for families with older kids. Great stay and I hope we can return.

Lilian’s home was perfect for us! We had a group of 5 and we all enjoyed our own space, and also our space together. The art and plants and architecture all were fun to live with. The location worked really well for us - near the beach, and easy drives to different parts of Santa Cruz and Capitola. All beautiful. Easy party at the house. Lilian was very responsive to messages. A wonderful stay.

Christine was super helpful and a very communicative host; she responded to any questions within minutes. The location was great for exploring the Presidio. We were still on east coast time so it was a bit noisy for us upstairs when we (family of four) were trying to fall asleep in the 7-10pm PCT timeframe but that was tiny compared to the overall experience: clean, communicative, kind, good location, helpful with parking. Would stay here again!
