Sunny Cove Beach! Location! Restaurants, FamilyFun

KimberlyRating, 5 stars6 days ago

Now I want to live in Santa Cruz! This house, original and full of character and impeccably maintained, is in a fabulous location, on a large lot, near (a two minute walk) one of the better beaches, imho. Sunny Cove beach, local Bodega grocery store as well as stocked liquor store, Brewery and a significant Sunday Farmers Market are all within 1 - 5 minute walk. Killer local coffee shops are either a 3 minute drive or a 15 minute walk. We cooked a lot and enjoyed both the large front yard and private back yard area each day - the kitchen has everything you need, as does the house - think beach chairs, toys for the kids if you have, umbrella, pots and pans, etc, really it is truly well stocked. Carrie is an amazing host - never out of touch, responding to anything within minutes and proactively suggesting things too (YES to special dinner at the iconic Shadybrook, thank you again Carrie!) We will definitely be back.

Guesthouse in Aptos

Rowan's house

KateRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

This place is absolutely incredible! It’s located in the mountains but not too far from town, it feels so peaceful when you are at the property and especially at Louie’s lookout. We stayed there for a week for our honeymoon, it’s within driving distance to so many special spots. Chris was awesome as well.

Surfer's paradise with oceanfront view.

KaeRating, 5 stars4 weeks ago

Annie was always available to answer any question. She was very nice and we could tell she wanted us to really enjoy our stay. The views were amazing, everything was very clean and we felt right at home. I celebrated my 60 th Birthday day with Family and some friends just for a few hours and they all loved the place and some were interested in possibly staying there sometime themselves. Needless to say, I highly recommend this place. Thank you Annie for providing me a wonderful Birthday weekend.
