Our stay at 5th Haven was everything we could have asked for. Coming in from cold Toronto, we hoped for a relaxing, sunshine filled week. This is exactly what we got.

Within walking distance of the beach/harbour front and a 5 minute drive from local restaurants and food stores, this cosy, welcoming and relaxing house was perfect for our holiday in Santa Cruz. Ryan and Denise have created a space that is comfortable for all guests and it was extremely clean and well kept. They have thought about every last detail, making our stay with them easy and stress-free.

We are a family of 5 and were extremely comfortable in this house. It was great to have parking right outside the house as we had hired a small SUV from San Jose airport. The car fitted perfectly in the space allotted. We were out for most days travelling to different places such as San Francisco and Yosemite. We found that 5th Haven was in the perfect location for driving to such locations. After a long day of driving and exploring areas of California, we were able to come back to 5th Haven to enjoy a BBQ, a marshmallow roasting session at the fire pit, and then a movie as they have provided both cable and Netflix for their guests. The beds were extremely comfortable, and we all agree that it was the best sleep we’ve had in a while.

Upon arrival, we had a few issues with connecting to the Wi-Fi. We spoke with Ryan and he was able to help us fix the issue quickly. Though he was away on business, he remained patient with us and very helpful, and we are grateful for this.

All-in-all this is a great place to stay!!!!!
