Cottage with highs and lows

We stayed in this house for a quick weekend visit and while there were some nice parts, there were also misses in the details. The location is quiet and walkable to the harbor and Seabright areas which is great, and the kitchen and bathroom were nicely renovated. The misses were minor but a few small details would have made a lot of difference! All of the lights were super harsh fluorescent lights with no way to dim. The heater only heats the living room, so that room became really hot while the bedroom was still cold. There were not usable outlets in the bedroom which would have been nice for charging. The kettle to boil water in didn't work and we would have loved to have a way to drink filtered water.

Cozy Cottage

This cottage is very clean and cozy. Everything was very comfortable. Just right for a quick two day get away. We walked to the harbor to watch the sunset and to get coffee in the morning. The covered deck and small back yard were so nice to sit in - even in the rain. We certainly hope to be able to stay here again.

Quiet Santa Cruz home base

This is a great spot to explore & enjoy the Santa Cruz area from. It's a clean, simple, comfortable home with an attractive front and nice little garden porch out back. The kitchen is well equipped and was not lacking in anything notable.

Heaven

Perfection! Literally. Lana was the most gracious and available host, the place is beeeeeaauuuutifil - squeaky clean, quiet, peaceful, bright and sunny, bed was next-level comfortable. The neighborhood was amazing, and I had everything I could possibly need. I don't want to stay anywhere else when I come to Santa Cruz! It was so hard to leave.

Lush garden, cozy cottage , ideal location, avoid 2nd garden unit

We enjoyed our 3 night stay in Lana’s main house. The relaxing living room, comfortable beds, gorgeous back and front garden were an oasis. We enjoyed the sweet neighborhood and quick walk to the local beach that is perfect for swimming. The house was clean and the kitchen worked to cook in. We loved the main house and would highly recommend staying if you are two people. Our only disappointment was that the second bedroom /studio unit in the garden has a very very strong smell of mold and has visible black mold in the closet and bathroom. It felt worrying and unhealthy. The smell was so strong that we didn’t leave bags or items in there and slept with the door open. We wrote to Lana and sent photos about the concern sharing that it was not noted on the listing and that the price (peak summer prices) did not reflect the concern. She asked if we wanted to leave and said that she would refund our money if we did but would not offer a discount . We looked for another home that night but everything was booked so we stayed but with trepidation about the mold and disappointment about the cost. We strongly suggest that the mold be addressed and that guests not stay in that unit until it is healthy to do so.

Love! Love! Love! Absolutely fabulous & charming! I kinda don’t want to tell you how excellent this property is- I want it available for me! I can’t afford to buy such a charming beach house like this- so a 4 day stay gave me a slice of heaven! The beach is so close! Extremely walkable- quiet sweet residential street- like 2 blocks away to the beach! The home is so sweet, decorated impeccably & stocked with every thing you need to “move in” for awhile. Host was always available via text- gave me a sense of security if I needed anything regarding the property. Oh! I can’t forget to mention the gardens! The front & back yard are beautiful! Plenty of seating to pull up a chair and enjoy your coffee in the morning & wine at night. I always need tv- tv had plenty of channels to satisfy me. A smart tv too- you can find any of your subscriptions & log in easily. So anyway- I love this place & hope to have the opportunity to stay again. Everyone I know, loves Santa Cruz & this home is the epitome of Santa Cruz- this home has everything you could ever want & hope for. I just hope I can stay here again! Thank you Lana! You were a delight. Oh! Also, this home is perfect for a romantic stay (very!) and sweet for a stay with a friend or family member. Cozy! Cozy! Cozy! There isn't one thing I would have changed. Just a dream come true! Again, thank you Lana, for letting me get a chance to stay in such a wonderful place :)

Absolutely wonderful beach cottage

The home is well appointed, comfortable and has all the amenities you'd need. It is immaculately clean. Parking is easy and it's very quiet and serene. There is a detached small studio unit on the property behind the main house. The neighborhood is very convenient and walkable to a small grocery, Deke's, next block over and restaurants. Do not miss the Harbor Cafe! The beach is in walking distance. I highly recommend this property for a relaxing, enjoyable stay.
