Great place to stay.

Can’t beat the location! Less than 5 minute walk to a beautiful beach that never gets too crowded. Lots of space, great sleeping arrangements and lounging area. We enjoyed the outdoor patios. Bonfired on the beach at night. Owners should invest in a good cleaning service and some insect maintenance. Entire place was very dusty, with spider webs and spiders, everywhere. In our first hour there we killed almost 10 daddy long legs. Looked like the house hadn’t been cleaned in a while. There was dust and cobwebs in main areas of the house such as the living room and hallways. Other than those issues, we had a good stay.

Overall our stay went quite well. The house was comfortable and we had plenty of room. The kitchen was adequately supplied. We enjoyed the outside patio and the lovely view.

This home is situated in a quiet neighborhood that’s less than a five-minute walk from door to shore—this easy access was awesome! While the bathrooms and kitchen are a bite dated, they were clean. Overall, we had a relaxing, comfortable visit.

We had a lovely time staying at this beach house in La Selva Beach. The location was perfect for us, super close to a great beach, and the layout is great for quality time as a family.

The place is fine but dated. Three guys fishing it was perfect. Could have used salt pepper and a Keurig. I will stay there again

There is a beautiful distant view of the ocean, which we enjoyed with our morning coffee. The home is decorated with lovely colorful paintings by the owner. We were disappointed that they were ants in the kitchen and bedroom and the kitchen was not clean. It was confusing with him to communicate as there was a "middleman" between VRBO and us. moved in

A little isolated and the Airbnb could use some love! Missing a few amenities like toaster, comfortable bedding, some basic supplies in house. Convenient driving to Watsonville, nothing in walking distance.
