What guests think
Travellers say Quiet family home Santa Cruz is a spacious, comfortable house in a quiet, convenient neighborhood, with a well-stocked kitchen, making it an easy base for families visiting downtown, the boardwalk, and nearby sights.
Most reviews praise cleanliness and maintenance, though a few note worn carpets, screen damage, or scented linens. Multiple guests warn that the upstairs stairs are uneven or steep and tricky, especially for kids or older adults. Communication is quick and issues are handled promptly, with an isolated complaint about accommodation. Overall, expect a comfy, practical home for a relaxed Santa Cruz stay.

We recently stayed for a week while visiting family. It’s always hard to find quality extended housing in the area so we were happy to find this rental. Everything was seamless. Fantastic communication with the owners, issues, which can always come up, were addressed immediately. House had a good layout, we were very comfortable. Very appreciative they had the upstairs AC for my young daughter to sleep when it was exceptionally hot. Felt very safe in the neighborhood, a lot of DDash options super close and a WF right by to get all your groceries. We’d absolutely stay here again.

Such a cute property , extremely clean and well appointed. My Mom didn’t want to leave and I can’t say I blamed her. The kitchen is particularly beautiful. We hope to stay here again next time we are in town to visit my daughter who is a ucsc student. Also, the hosts were lovely and communication was perfect.

Vacation these days for our family has to include the ability to make our own dinners and lunches! So we almost always check our VRBOs when it’s time to start planning! This place was perfect for us! We planned on going to a few places around the Santa Cruz area (mystery spot and Roaring Camp trains) and this home was a perfect middle ground. The kitchen had what we needed and the bedrooms and baths were clean. We were able to bbq on the patio and lots of fridge space. We were comfortable and had a great time!

This was a spacious, lovely house in a great location in Santa Cruz. The house was clean and comfortable, and the kitchen was well-stocked for cooking. The one thing I'd note is that the linens and pillowcases seemed to be washed with scented detergent, so if you are sensitive to smells and plan to stay here, I would recommend bringing your own pillow. But overall such a wonderful spot!

The house is cute and modern with plenty of room for a family. The kitchen is well-stocked with dishes, utensils, pots, and pans. There were ample towels in the bathrooms and plenty of paper towels, toilet paper, etc. The neighborhood is nicely situated. Definitely recommend to other families looking for a quiet, cozy place to stay!

We were doing a construction project in town and this property was amazing. It was close to our job site so we could sleep in a bit in the morning. The BBQ was a nice team building for dinners. Good neighborhood and close to everything Santa Cruz.

The house was just okay. However, I don’t recommend people with kids stay there. My 11 year old accidentally got lip gloss on their towels and we were charged 25 for it. They only have stark white towels so I recommend you bring your own towels in case it gets dirty. There’s a driveway to the neighbors house right in front of the kitchen and I got startled to see a person standing in front of the kitchen windows on the first morning. But it was a quiet neighborhood. The house was mostly clean except for upstairs, there was thick black mold in the corners of the windows.

This home could use some refurbishing. There were stains on the carpets and holes in the screens, no places to hang your stuff in the bathrooms. Not the most cozy home. The owner wasn’t very accommodating when we complained about the holes in the screens. It was quiet and had a nice back patio for hanging. Ok stay

We stayed here as a family of 5 (2 adults, 1 kindergartener, and toddler twins). The location is quite convenient and located near some great places (shoutout to Water St. Grill for a great kid-friendly dinner!). It's great that there are 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and the full kitchen was well-stocked. The whole place was clean and had extra sheets, towels, etc. We loved that there were plenty of beach towels and toys and chairs. However, the uneven stairs (as mentioned in the listing) need to be noted here as well because you really need to pay attention and be careful when using them. Some stairs were shorter than others and some were shallower, and in particular the bottom step is shallower than the others. I was holding on to the railing and I still slipped and fell on the last step due to the uneven stairs. I wasn't injured but easily could have been. Please be sure to pay special attention when using the stairs..

Very appreciative they had the upstairs AC for my young daughter to sleep when it was exceptionally hot.

This was a great rental for a weekend in Santa Cruz. The house is centrally located and easy to get to. It had everything that we needed and we enjoyed the comfortable living room space. It fit my family of four perfectly with room to spare. We would definitely rent the house again in the future.

I recently stayed at this rental house, and it exceeded my expectations. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and comfortable. The house was spotless, well-maintained, and exactly as described in the listing.
