IxchellRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

This is my second time visiting Jesse's home. Everything went super smoothly and I was provided with all necessary information. I love the open floor plan and you can't beat the location. I love his eco friendly approach and all the kitchen accessories he has in order to cook in house. I haven't made it in the hot tub either visit, but hope to do so next time :)

A charming beach house features a stone pathway leading to its entrance, framed by lush tropical plants and colorful flowers. Bright blue skies create a cheerful backdrop, while a small staircase enhances accessibility to the front porch adorned with hand-carved doors.

Beach View Cottage - Hot Tub

StevenRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Have visited North end of Santa Cruz many times and long ago lived near the harbor. Had not spent much time in South end of Santa Cruz which was a treat. Surfview house was the perfect place for a beach holiday allowing you to feel like a Santa Cruz local for a few days. Lot's of opportunities a short walk from the house. All the beach amenities you could ask for. Kitchen and 2nd floor living space has spectacular views and kitchen was well stocked with fancy new appliances and a pleasure to prepare meals. Hope to return for a future visit.

A hot tub is positioned on a wooden deck, surrounded by lush eucalyptus trees. A potted plant with green leaves sits nearby, with ocean views visible through the wooden fencing. The serene landscape emphasizes the connection to nature.

The home matched our expectations from the listing. We cooked almost every meal at home and the kitchen had all of the appliances and kitchenware we needed. Tom was also very responsive and had simple check-in and check-out instructions. We would definitely stay here again.

Nice place. Great location, just 2 blocks from beach and close to restaurants. We used the bicycles and boogie boards. Backyard was nice to hangout in, used the Firepit and spa everyday. Kitchen was nice but not quite as stocked as some other places we’ve stayed. Overall was nice and we would rent again.

KarissaRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Maureen and her husband Clark were great hosts- friendly and responsive but also kind and will give you your privacy. The room is in the home and has its own private connected bathroom. The room and bathroom were very clean and their home is beautiful, peaceful and has great views of the ocean. There is easy access to Seascape Beach and we enjoyed going there with our dog. I really appreciated that they're dog friendly and were happy to meet our dog. The room and bathroom were very clean and it was nice to have the little snacks Maureen placed in there. We would recommend them and return again!
