Good times at the Pot Belly

We loved our stay at the Pot Belly house. It was clean, nicely decorated, and comfortable. We loved the State park right outside the back gate, and the multiple comfortable spaces for our teenagers and younger children and us to all enjoy.

Large open family space

Great house just a few minutes walk to a quiet beach and centrally located in the Santa Cruz area . Lots of room to spread out and visit. The kitchen is well stocked and clean. We will definitely go back.

Excellent, well-appointed home in great location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a wonderful, clean and comfortable home. The home is very nicely laid out with comfortable beds and nice bedroom furniture. Two separate living room areas with comfy seating and plenty of room to spread out. TV's all worked fine, and it was nice to have access to Netflix, Amazon Prime and Hulu on the main living room TV. Very nice, well-appointed kitchen with plenty of storage space for your food items. An added bonus is a great backyard with easy walking distance through New Brighton State Park campground to the beach. We are return customers who will continue to return as long as the property is available for rent!

Pot Belly Beach House

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We used Pot Belly to entertain about 20 people for a Friday and Saturday night dinner party. The house worked out perfect for this. Six of us stayed there the two nights. Lisa and the girls at Bailey Properties were very accommodating, professional and pleasant to do business with. I would definitely rent again if the need arises.

2023 fall vacation

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Lovely girls trip staying at the pot belly beach house. Loved the open layout of the home, nice furnishings and nice outdoor spaces. We were surprised how convenient it was to things we typically do there, Mariannes ice cream, great restaurants and groceries, farmers market at cabrillo, etc. Walked to the beach, but ended up driving to the state park most days taking our wagon and found the beach to be awesome and uncrowded. Walked in he campground and to capitola also. Can't wait to visit again

Located in the heart of solitude.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I really enjoyed everything 875 Pine tree had to offer. Clean, spacious, comfortable & peaceful. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard during the morning, watching the coastal fog sifting through the eucalyptus & redwood trees. It's a quiet wooded neighborhood, not a loud party like atmosphere, if you need peace and rest, this is the place. My only concern was the dog hair on the floors, might not be favorable for allergy sufferers.

Beautiful!

Beautiful home. Great l location. Private yard with plenty of seating and natural plants. Beach access out the gate. Kitchen well equipped. Easy access to lots to do in the area. The only reason not 5 stars all around is the hot tub was too dirty to be used when we arrived though that was handled immediately and you have to drive somewhere else to get the keys instead of there being a lock box at the home. Everything else was perfect and we’ll be back!

Lovely vacation spot!

We were a party of 7 people (family) spending almost a week at this fantastic house. Open and social spaces inside and backyard was great for hanging out. So nice to have the park right outside, felt secluded and quiet. Everything we needed and more!! The only (minor!) downside was the short drive for check-in and check-out to the office.

Beautiful house with gorgeous back yard. Access to the beach took a bit longer than advertised - bring a beach wagon. Helpful to have baby plates/cups available!

Beautiful space in a beautiful setting

This property was everything we wanted and more - top quality furniture, provisions, stocked kitchen, wonderful grill, hot tub and access to woods and beach as stated. You won't be disappointed here. We didn't have any issues with odors or heat in this place, like some of the other reviews state. Thank you for a wonderful weekend of making memories. We would love to return!

Couldn't have asked for a better stay

Potbelly house was perfect for our needs with 3 Adults, 2 teenagers, and 2 younger children. Open living concept and a ton of outdoor lounge spacing. Location was perfect, we recommend Capitola beach for swimming.

Perfection

We traveled with 3 adults and 4 kids to this property. Upon arriving at the house, we were impressed. It was very clean, bigger than we expected and that Backyard!! It’s so peaceful and a perfect place to relax. The location was great. We went out exploring everyday. We loved the house and hope to return to it.

Beautiful home, a few setbacks related to comfort.

Overall, the home was nice. The area was great and secluded so it allowed for a peaceful escape. The beach was also quite close and a short walk for some beach fun. Yet, there were a few aspects of the house that took away from the comfort of the trip. Kitchen: the hood fan does not work well and doesn’t have the width to cover the stovetop so whenever you sauté or sear food or cook bacon, the fire alarm goes (happened 4 times for us). There is no A/C: while it’s not listed as having it, the home gets quite stuffy and hot starting at 1. While there are fans and windows to open, if there is no wind or breeze pushing the air in and out of the house, you’ll be better off sitting outside until the sun goes down as it’s much cooler. Bed: we utilized the 3 main beds and the fold-out couch... all were very soft and not comfortable; we ended up using the couches by the last night. Bathroom flies: upon arrival, the three bathrooms had copious amounts of flies around the drains and on the ceilings; we bought bug spray but they kept coming back which made for a less-than-sanitary experience. It’s a great spot but unfortunately a few aspects related to comfort and enjoyment took away from the overall experience of the stay.

Excellent location

Surrounded by woods and <10 min walk from the beach, the location was perfect and all we were looking for. The beach was not crowded at all with the nearby campgrounds and parking lots closed. The main reason that I'm giving this house 3 stars is the smell. It is an old house that has been remodeled. The bathrooms and kitchen are lovely, and we really enjoyed the outdoor shower. But there was a pervasive smell in the bedrooms. We aired out as much as we could, but for a few of the rooms, there really was no helping it. Everything else was great! We used the charcoal grill, the firepit, and the staff was very responsive to a few issues that we had.

Perfect for families and easy beach hiking.

This place is a spacious home with 3 bedrooms but one extra bedroom (4 total) right adjacent to master bed, with a temporary bed (fully dressed), pretty useful if you have overnight guests for instance. The beds comfort was a four out of five to me, a bit too hard of a mattress but my husband was ok with it. Also the cleanliness of the house was ok, not bad at all, just not spotless either, again a 4 out of 5 in my opinion. The kitchen is truly fully stocked (unlike in other brvos that announce themselves that way), it was easy and a pleasure to cook and serve dinners there. Lots of kitchen wear. The back yard has a fun gate to a forest which is also a state park and a camping (not in used currently due to covid). It is an easy hike to the beach, with an access through stairs and ramps on the cliff, which would be also used by camp-goers (look for the camp bathroom, access is located right there). There is an absolutely beautiful stunning hike to the neigbour town via an old railroad trail that goes by right behind the house. The RR tracks pretty much run right on the cliff and is full of vegetation...great pictures there. There are also really beautiful parks super close by, with massive redwoods for a full day hike. Overall it was good stay and I have no doubt we will consider it for future stays!
