Janet was a terrific host, always available and pleasant. She checked in with us several times by text, email and even a phone call to make sure we were able to access the front door code. When we had a question the next day, she responded right away.
Typical of many beach houses for let, especially those we have seen in the Santa Cruz area, this house is a bit tired and shows signs of having been a rental property for some time. That being said, it supplied all the essentials we needed. In the pretty private garden, the hot tub was at a perfect 104 degrees, the grill had a full tank of gas, and there was a fire pit available. The house is on a quiet street within a very short walk to the beach. Our three bedrooms and two bathrooms fit the descriptions and provided plenty of room for all of us. The kitchen was well-stocked with pots and pans and cooking utensils, and the dining room was expansive. And although we didn’t bring our pets, it’s great to know that you can find a dog-friendly house near the beach in a fairly reasonable price range.
