-- THE LOCATION --
The biggest perk of this retreat is the location. Downtown Santa Cruz is two and a half blocks away; there, you'll find yourself surrounded by an eclectic downtown scene offering street performers, local boutiques, vintage stores, and dining on any cuisine you might desire. Dining options and convenience stores abound nearby, so you shouldn't have any problem finding them. The San Lorenzo River is just a short walk away, as well as the well-known and iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which is is one of the town‚s main draws, offering family-friendly fun year-round. Visit Municipal Wharf and listen to the calls of the sea lions, rent surfboards and hit Cowell's Beach in search of the perfect wave, or rent some bikes and explore some of the nearby paved trails. You better pack your sunscreen and beach towel! The soft sands of Santa Cruz Beach are less than half a mile from you! Other attractions include the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, a day trip to San Francisco (77.5 miles), and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, only 46 miles south.

Had a wonderful time in this home. Very close to the beach and lots of restaurants.
6 / 10Average·Dec 2025
You enter the front door into the one small bedroom with a queen bed, providing no privacy. That room leads to another small sitting room with a futon and chair to a small back kitchen and full bath. The bath has an old fashioned claw foot tub. Both the tub and sink drained poorly. The bathroom door knob was falling off and the knob to the toilet is very loose. The shower curtain rod had become detached from the wall and ceiling. (The owner did come quickly to make necessary repairs). The futon was not a comfortable sleep, and there are no washer and dryer available.
However, the place was clean and is within walking distance to the beach and broad walk.
This may be a good short-term stay for 1 guest or a couple. However, we saw more updated places and better layout for comparable prices.
