"Great little cottage. Very clean and tidy. Didn’t realize there was no door between bedroom and bath, which made a stay for 3rd person (sleeping on the couch) a bit weird. Would recommend this place for couples, though! "

The Midtown Cabana- w/ Private Entrance and Views

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (65)
"I spent two nights here while my daughter was visiting a friend at UCSC and the stay was fantastic. Easy check in process, beautiful property, and very cozy rental. The bed was super comfortable and the sound of the rain on the roof was lovely. The view the next day and the sunset once the rain cleared was gorgeous.

"Perfect house for all 7 of us, my wife and I, our 2 grown kids, daughter in-law and 2 grand kids. We had space to relax, hide out or play some games. The beach is a super short walk, close enough to hear the surf at night. We did all our meals in the kitchen, it has all the right stuff to prep and serve meals."

"We had a great time in Santa Cruz! This is a cute little cottage! It is at the end of a dead end street which made it really quiet and peaceful. We loved the fenced in yard for our dog. The interior is decorated with a beautiful beach theme. The attention to detail makes this place above any other rental. The kitchen is equipped with everything you need. The hosts have a large notebook in the cottage with information on restaurants, things to do, maps as well as all the different beaches....

Amazing Twin Lakes Beach Views

"Nicely updated and decently stocked rental. Amazing views of the beach and literally just steps from the beach. The deck is optimized for the beautiful views with adirondack chairs, a table with umbrella and recliners.The cottage is clean and with 2 parking spots in the alley behind. Only nit are the beds are older and could use updating, but everything else about the rental was great. The host was also very communicative and responsive when we had some questions or issues."
