Incredible house

The house was absolutely perfect! We stayed with two other families and the big room was ideal for the kids! The outdoor area was stunning and a great space for the kids to run around. The location was convenient and the host was very responsive. We will definitely look to stay here again if/when we get back to Santa Cruz!

Beautiful house

We stayed here with three families (12 people) and would absolutely stay here again! The house was spacious and clean, and the backyard was perfect for the kids. We grilled, made s’mores, went in the hot tub, and played catch on the lawn. Just 15 minutes to Santa Cruz boardwalk, too.

A beautiful huge property with all the nicest amenities.

I can only say great things about this home. It sits on a large lot so plenty of privacy and a beautiful backdrop of trees and greenery. We even caught a few glimpses of deer off to the wooded area. It was awesome and the kids enjoyed it! The hot tub was great and the backyard provided enough space for the kids to enjoy! We took advantage of the grill and the fire pit out back. The inside was so nicely decorated and spacious. The beds were so soft and the showers and jetted tub were awesome. We spent a few days at the boardwalk and beach which were only about 15 minutes away. It was great to be away from the hustle and bustle of town but nice that everything was only a 5-15 min drive away including grocery and convenience stores. There was plenty of room for my group which included 3 families. I would definitely like to visit again especially during warmer weather. Thr whole rental process couldn't have been easier. Crystal was great and replied quickly to my inquiries.

Peaceful with WOW house and yard

The house was gorgeous. It had large rooms. Downstarirs had large living area/dining area with table to fit twelve people and kitchen with island with lots of cubboards and drawers and walk in pantry. Upstairs there were two standard size rooms with king size beds. One large master suite with huge tv, bathtub and shower stall. Second extremely large room with king size bed, two trundle beds and shower that could fit five people. Also a laundry room with extra large washer/dryer and ironing board and iron. Outside was a jacuzzi are with couches.There was another area with two tables to fit six on each table and portable barbeque. Another area with lounge couch. Another area surrounding a place to have a fire. The lawn area invited corn hole (provided in the garage), hammock for two. The backyard was backed by a creek with huge trees about one hundred feet tall. Sounds of birds welcomed us for our early morning coffee time.

Easily exceeds expectations

Where do I even start?! Crystal was kind, helpful, and accommodating from the moment I booked her home for our family vacation. Check in was a breeze and as soon as we pulled up to her property, it was breathtaking. We were a party of 10 and there was plenty of space for all of us. Her home provided us with everything we needed and more. It is very well maintained, and clean. We will definitely book again!

Girls Weekend Success

This was our second time renting Crystal‘s fantastic house for our girls weekend. This year we were nine women and we stayed for three nights. We enjoyed the hot tub and the backyard between rain showers. The living space was very comfortable inside! And the sleeping arrangements were very comfortable as well! We just can’t say enough about how wonderful this place is and how easy it is to work with Crystal!

A little piece of heaven in Santa Cruz

We just completed a fabulous stay at Crystal's home. The place is incredibly spacious and well though out. Everything was labeled and the little touches like the bathrobes and checkin snacks were a nice surprise. Crystal was an absolute pleasure to communicate with and made everything smooth and easy. We will be back!

We had a high school basketball tournament in San Jose, and our team stayed at this house for two nights. The four bedrooms were able to hold 10 high school girls and the coaches.
