Great cottage right overlooking Twin Lakes
Nicely updated and decently stocked rental. Amazing views of the beach and literally just steps from the beach. The deck is optimized for the beautiful views with adirondack chairs, a table with umbrella and recliners.The cottage is clean and with 2 parking spots in the alley behind. Only nit are the beds are older and could use updating, but everything else about the rental was great. The host was also very communicative and responsive when we had some questions or issues.

Good but not great
Cleanliness could have been better. Refrigerator was not clean and trash remained in the trash can. Couch had some trash between cushions. Bathrooms are really tight on space. King sized bed was a little too big for the room and a little lumpy. The location was fantastic.

The house was clean, kid friendly and well maintained. The layout made it easy to enjoy time together as a family but also have privacy if needed. The views and access to the beach were stunning. Amazing location and amazing house. Highly recommend.

Incredible Beach Getaway
My wife, 5 year old daughter, and I stayed at this property and we could not have asked for a better place to spend a long weekend at the beach! The location and short walk down the stairs to the beach was perfect for our family. The view from the deck is absolutely gorgeous. The house was tastefully appointed, kitchen was beautiful and contained everything we needed, the bedrooms were nice with comfortable beds, and the internet was fast. We really appreciated the private parking spots, and my wife and I can't stop talking about how gorgeous the views were. We had no complaints at all and plan to visit again in the future. My only note is the location might not be ideal for someone with difficulty climbing stairs if you plan on spending time on the beach, however anyone would find it easy to enjoy the view from the deck, regardless of mobility restrictions.

Making Memories!
My family stayed in this charming house, and it was better than we hoped. We had everything we needed, plenty of space for four of us and convenient parking. The views from the deck were spectacular and the beach and harbor close enough to walk to. Very comfortable and clean and great place to make memories! The owner Tim was very responsive and made sure everything was in order. Highly recommend!

Perfect location
The house is a bit dated, and be aware that there is no AC…. But we came in the height of summer and it wasn’t a problem. But really, you’re renting this place for it’s location & that was perfection. Everyone in our party (ranged from 3 to 73) was able to get up and down the rock path which is steps from the front door! The owner was great to communicate with & we had an absolute blast! Parking in SC can be a nightmare and renting this place gave us 4 spots (2 in the back of the house and 2 we took at 6am when they were empty). Would definitely rent again!

Cute cottage Calming ocean sounds Comfortable bed with a view Convenient parking in the alley behind home Access to the beach from the home is not as convenient as anticipated. I had a 4 year old with me and it was challenging walking across large and jagged boulders to get to the beach or the alternative is walking along the side of the road with busy traffic.

Beautiful View
Our stay was just about perfect. The weather cooperated with rain only during our day of our departure. The gas fireplace is wonderful in the chilly weather. Beach access was a a little further than we expected but due to the storms this winter there was a lot of water so we couldn't walk down the closest trail to the cottage. The beds are all very cozy! Three bedrooms but no couch bed. TV s worked great, but I brought my fire stick anyways. Fully stocked with laundry and dishwashing detergent, fancy hand soap, sponges, toilet paper, paper towels even some spices. Could use a teapot to boil water but there are many different pots and pans. Bring your own beach towels. Outside on the side of the cottage there is a storage bend with beach chairs one umbrella and a couple boogie boards which are all in good shape. Beach boardwalk just down the street. Great vacation!

So Peaceful
We stayed here for 5 days and loved it. It is very welcoming and has everything you need. We cooked a little and this place had all the essentials for coffee and even EVVO. The beds were super comfortable and we were able to do laundry and spend a lot of time with our family. CA had unprecedented storms and cold the entire time we were there, but we made use of the puzzles and games. The view was still great and we wish we could have spent any time on that wonderful porch.

Fantastic East Cliff beach front property w/ amazing view!!
Great location with easy access to Twin Lakes Beach! We had an amazing time - loved that we could come back from the beach, relax on the huge deck and continue to enjoy the views from sunrise to sunset. Also loved being so close to Seabright Beach, Santa Cruz Harbor, East Cliff Village, Pleasure Point, etc. We also appreciated the short distance to the Boardwalk, Pier/Wharf, West Cliff & Natural Bridges where we enjoyed additional fun activities and beautiful views! Tim was super communicative, pleasant to work with and fantastic with his follow-up through the entire process from booking to check-out. Thanks and we've already referred this property to family & friends! :)

This vacation was just what we needed. The cottage beach house is adorable and cozy. I enjoyed the beautiful ocean view twin lakes beach view and doing my morning yoga on the deck. Some of the outlets are old and don’t work but it was no big deal. I’d stay here again for sure. The hosts were both helpful and friendly too.

Best Beach Cottage!
We were looking for the perfect beachside house for a Santa Cruz holiday. Tim’s yellow cottage looked amazing online and it was even better in person! The deck that overlooks the beach was our main draw. But there is also a stunning view through the large window in the living room. We drank our coffee every morning on that couch looking out at the beautiful beach. The newly renovated kitchen was well stocked and allowed us to cook all our meals at the house. The back room was a bonus with a couch and tv perfect for the kids. Lots of stores and restaurants close by. Tim was marvelous. He was super communicative throughout the entire process. I could text or call anytime and he immediately responded. We had a minor maintenance issue when we arrived and Tim came immediately and fixed it right away and we had no further issues. We all loved our stay and will definitely come back.
