Stayed for 1 day & 1/2 at this lovely beach shack which was perfect! The location was great & pretty quiet which was a plus! It’s also close to local shops & food which was nice as we arrived in the evening & didn’t have to struggle finding something to eat! Overall we had a great stay!

Our weekend visit to Santa Cruz was a wonderful experience, thanks to the perfectly located and cozy little cottage we rented from Grand Welcome Vacation Rentals. Communication with their team was always friendly and prompt. Arrival instructions were straightforward and easy. All was exactly as described and we felt immediately at home. The ocean is a 3-minute walk and invites for more exploration in both direction. We found great places for breakfast and lunch, - all just a stroll away. We hope to come back, bringing our bicycles or planing more hikes in the area. If you are a surfer, this place is simply ideal! We highly recommend it. What a find!

My partner and I had a fantastic weekend getaway! Close to the beach, easy parking, lovely romantic bungalow. Sadly, the oven was out of order.

Overall very nice stay. Quiet neighborhood. Since we saw the instructions to leave thermostat on specific settings, we expected a/c. There wasn’t. No ceiling fans, but plenty of fans provided. We just aren’t used to leaving windows open and having humidity dampen our clothes. However, location was perfect for our needs and would consider staying again.

Amazing location!! We were so excited to be able to walk to E Cliff Dr. to watch the surf, or toward 41st for restaurants and shopping. The house was clean and it was nice to have a parking spot available. The keypad entry was easy to use when arriving and leaving. Definitely recommend!

Location was perfect. Right up the street from jacks surf spot. Plenty of kitchen soap, paper towels. Bring your own shampoo and conditioner. The oven was out of order but we didn’t need it. Super comfortable and clean. Would stay here again

This is a perfect little cottage for 3 or 4. We stayed with two adults, two teens, and it was just fine. The house is a little quirky but it ended up being absolutely delightful. It has plenty of updates that make it feel comfortable and quiet. The hosts took great care to make sure it is fully stocked with everything you need. Lots of thoughtful little touches like a stash of beach towels and a very well stocked kitchen. Furniture is comfy, beds are on the firmer side but not terrible. It's noted in the instructions, but there is only a spot for one car AND the street doesn't have a lot of street parking, so be prepared to walk a few houses down to park additional cars. This would be a great place to stay for a longer vacay. Location can't be beat. View the ocean from the driveway, walk to amazing food and coffee up 41st. Would absolutely stay again.

We really enjoyed our stay and the place was perfect for our needs-- two bedrooms so our baby could have a quiet place to nap and within walking distance of great surf spots and restaurants. The place itself was very clean and had all the amenities you could need. Very minor but the cookware could use some updating (broken spatula, pans were sticky). Getting in and getting out was super easy. Would have loved some flexibility with check -in, especially if the place was ready sooner than 4. That was the only thing that caused a bit of a problem, but once we were in the place was perfect! Would definitely recommend to anyone traveling with a family or who just wants a bit more space.

We had an amazing 10-day surf trip to Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz, starting in early June. The location of the house couldn't have been better just steps from the water and right in the heart of the surf scene. The house itself was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The rental office was professional and easy to deal with, and the owners were incredibly friendly and serviceminded, which made the whole experience even better. We had a fantastic time and would absolutely recommend staying here to anyone looking for a great spot in Santa Cruz especially if you're into surfing or just want to be close to the ocean.

Great Cozy Little House. Our group was 3 adults and a Toddler. We walked to the beach every day during our stay. We felt like everything we needed was just a quick drive away from this location. Lots of Restaurants, Stores, and little shops. We would gladly stay here again, we will definitely book again. Our Little one referred to the house as “Her Little Green Home” Toddler Approved!

Was originally concerned with booking due to it being a new listing and no reviews, but it was a great experience! The property management company was very proactive with communication. Great location being just a block from the beach. Our toddler loved watching all the surfers. Would definitely recommend the location!

The place was small and cozy, just as described. What really makes it stand out is the location—perfect if you love being near East Cliff and the shops on 41st. It’s a great spot for a family of four, though keep in mind there's only one bathroom shared between the two bedrooms. Overall, a great stay in a prime spot!

The Pleasure Point area of Santa Cruz has always been one of my favorite places in California. Mellow beach vibes steps from cool waves, great coffee and beachy fun for the whole family. Tons to do in Santa Cruz area, I only wish we had more time! The beach cottage was comfortable, cozy, clean and a 2 minute walk from beach and a few more minutes to Verve Coffee and Pleasure Pizza. Great place to relax after a long day of beaching out.

This was a great spot for a family getaway. The place was comfortable and had everything we needed, from kitchen supplies to laundry detergent. Check in was super easy (no communication needed beyond getting the email a day in advance of check in). Hard to beat the location! We’d stay again.
