Fantastic location, great communication
You really cant get a better location in terms of walkability to beach, harbor, etc. Great set up for extended family with a floor separating aleeping areas, making it ideal for mix of older family and kids. Host has a garage full of bikes, toys, wetsuits, boogie boards and they are in good repair. Host was also a great commjnicator. She was friendly, professional and flexible. I highly recommend the place.

Beautiful home inside and out. Easy checkin and check out. Home had everything we could of needed for our week stay. 3 min walk to Sea right Beach. Really close by to restaurants and Boardwalk. Glenn was extremely helpful and quick to respond. Lots of space, stocked kitchen and bathrooms and lots of beach gear.

Great beach house
It is a great beach house. They supplied everything you need for the beach and more. Wet suits, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys. Very nice kitchen and very well stocked! Bathrooms were nice. The downstairs TV area is dark and the bedrooms are dark and small. But the beds we’re comfortable. There was laundry facilities. The location couldn’t have been better!!! I highly recommend it!

Perfect Get-Away close to the beach!
The communication with the home owner was fantastic! He got right back to us with the questions we had and was an overall really nice person. The home is on a quite street, not many cars. Its an easy 3 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to the Boardwalk. The house is very clean and comfortable. Kitchen has everything needed to cook dinners in and having a BBQ was a huge plus! Can't say enough about this place its simply a fantastic place to say and we look forward to going back!

Excellent accommodations
Nice accommodations and excellent host. Glenn was always attentive to email inquiries and responded fast if we had any questions or concerns. Home was only a block-ish from the beach. Half mile to Boardwalk. Really fun beach area (great for bonfires but get there early to reserve a pit). Glenn offered a lot of beach toys, wagon, beach chairs, and 4 bikes! Our kids loved this feature. Nice back deck, cozy and private , complete with twinkle lights to illuminate the area at night. Beautiful master area on the whole 2nd floor: deck with chairs, master bath is huge with jet tub and lots of natural light. Fun private TV area in basement with a mini bar, just off the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. Daughter had a blast in the bunk bed room. Son happy with the more grown up queen sized bed in other room. Overall, we were very happy with the house and had a great time visiting the area.

Wonderful location in Santa Cruz
The property is very nice, especially for being so close to beach (where places can be small). This is a 3 level residence; the lower level is a nicely re-modeled basement w/2 bedrooms and an area to watch TV, full bathroom and washer/dryer (purely functional area). The middle level is where we spent most of our time. The kitchen area as very good. The entry-room (from front door) served us well w/couches. The garage is a kind of entertainment area w/couches and TV - nothing fancy but it worked. The upstairs (master bedroom and bath) is very nice. The outdoor sitting area in the back is a bit small and taken up with outdoor furniture, but it serves it's purpose pretty well. I would rent this place again without hesitation.

Quiet Getaway.
This property is only 1 block down from Seabright Beach , very quiet neighborhood and less people at this beach. Walking distance to the Boardwalk and to a few restaurants. We had plenty of room for our 4 adult children and 2 grandchildren. Glenn had everything we needed for the house and for the beach . We really enjoyed our stay here. Thank you Glenn.
