Great place. Pet friendly but lots of stairs for an older dog to go up stairs to the bedrooms. OK, just slow- going. Steps to a wonderful beach

Blacks Beach Retreat has a unique floor plan that offers two bedrooms with an indoor/outdoor feel and if needed a convertible bed downstairs all with their own bathrooms and sense of privacy. The decor is spot on Santa Cruz and the location is perfect is you like to wake up and walk down to a spectacular sweeping view of the Monterey Bay from Steamers and the Wharf to the Santa Lucia Mountains standing behind the Monterey Peninsula. We loved it!! And we absolutely love Santa Cruz.

Pet friendly property in an excellent location. Very easy access to dog friendly beach just a short walk down the street. Easy drive to the boardwalk, shopping, dining or nearby Capitola. Sofa bed and king bed mattress could stand for an update. Adequate for a few days. Excellent communication with owner/property manager. Beautiful sunsets right from the beach down the street.

Charming beach house

Our family of 4 and dog stayed for 3 nights and found the place to be fantastic. Clean and welcoming, spacious and peaceful. An idyllic little yard in back and steps from the dog-friendly beach really made the stay homey. Thanks for your excellent hosting.

We loved staying here — adorable house and amazing proximity to a great beach. The "loaner" beach items at the house were so thoughtful...thanks for the beach towels, chairs, wagon, wetsuits and boogie board!
