Lovely home in great location

This home is bright, comfortable, and walking to so much! O'Neal Properties messaged to ensure we were all set. Even in the rain, we had a fabulous stay!

Nice Stay

The listing was as advertised, so close to the beach that I took the dog for a walk there every morning. The kitchen was decently stocked with ware and utinsils so that we made dinner almost every night in the kitchen or on the rooftop BBQ. The negatives are minor, but listed here simply because everyone looking at reviews wants to know what to expect: -electric kettle didn’t work, and management never replaced it while we were there, although they were extremely responsive every time I messaged them (they probably replaced it after we left). -bed frame in master suite was extremely noisy, creaking every time we moved at night. Hope you enjoy Santa Cruz as much as we did!

Lovely Eastside home

Our stay at the O'Neal harbor home was delightful. The house is wonderful and the location can't be beat. The rooftop deck has a spectacular view of the water. We had a most enjoyable stay.
