This is a gorgeous apartment, super clean and modern, with a nice layout including a deck with a view of the ocean, and located a block away from the beach. With friendly and responsive hosts -- Lori is among the best we’ve stayed with.
This was our second visit, the first time we stayed for two months and we couldn’t have chosen a nicer spot. The modern kitchen with beautiful granite countertops had everything we needed; two types of coffee maker (pods and drip), nice glassware and dishware, all the kitchen tools and equipment to cook at home.
We especially appreciated the location a block away from Corcoran beach. The beaches are quieter on this side of Santa Cruz, unlike the packed busier beach on the boardwalk side, and we loved the peaceful vibe. Also nearby is great walking, running, or bicycling along the coastline – E Cliff Drive and coastal nature reserves.
Thoughtful extra amenities, too - backpack beach chairs, beach umbrella, boogie board. Often in the afternoons we’d walk 5 minutes with the chairs and umbrella to the beach along with a few cold drinks and enjoy the sunset. Morning coffee on the deck was a favorite of ours, too.
The apartment's décor has lovely Hawaiian touches, which added to the peaceful vibe. There’s an adjoining rental house but no shared walls – while inside our apartment we couldn’t hear them at all.
Super friendly and responsive hosts. Great communication before arrival and when we suggested several small improvement ideas, and Lori made each of them right away.
All around A+ rental and peaceful beach getaway location. Couldn’t recommend more!
