Great space and location

Laid back space in great location with easy access to the beach, food and coffee shops. The owners were easy to communicate with, set clear expectations and followed through with the couple requests we had that made our stay exceptional. If you are looking for a place to stay in Santa Cruz and/or Capitola, I highly recommend this space.

Perfect in Pleasure Point

This was our second time staying. Everything is perfect on site and as described in the listing. Comfortable, well appointed, clean, and great location. The fact that it was pet friendly made all the difference this trip, as we had to travel with our pooch. It's not often that I rave about places or recommend them to friends, as I'm super picky. But this place is worth the money. :)

So good!

A sweet little property in a perfect spot if you want to walk down to watch the water and also sit on the patio and enjoy your coffee. The busy street out front is an endless parade of characters and so much fun to peoplewatch. The house is clean, comfortable and well-thought out. I hope we are able to enjoy this property again but can imagine it will be booked solid due to its perks. Loved the comfy beds and big windows to let in the sun. Well marked parking completed the experience.

Perfection

My son, dog and I stayed in the Point Cottage for 3 weeks while our home was being renovated. I did struggle to figure out the key pad to unlock the home at first but that was my error. The owner responded quickly and came over to show me how to unlock the door. The place, itself, appeared to have been recently renovated and decorated very nicely. Everything was extremely well thought out. I appreciated that there were dressers and closets for us to unpack our things and settle in. The kitchen had everything we needed and space to store our food. The bedrooms were comfortable and each equipped with its own TV. The house was well insulated so it was quiet, even with it being a busy surfing/sightseeing area. The location was amazing. I walked my dog several times a day, enjoying the ocean scenery and 41st avenue shops/restaurants. The entire area was dog friendly. The people were human friendly too. We had an absolutely lovely time and I definitely plan on booking the Point Cottage again in the future. It was hard to leave. I definitely recommend!
