As a solo female traveler, I felt a little nervous walking around the neighborhoods directly around it at night, but overall I felt super comfy and at home there, and loved the room so much I added on an extra night to my stay! Really appreciated how close it was to everything I needed, from shopping and restaurants to nature, the beach, and all the activities I was looking to do. The staff was lovely and very accommodating, and I really enjoyed my stay here! ##### Jessica Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott Jun 2, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort GREAT LOCATION.

She was very attentive to our needs and accommodated us in any way she could. She made check in easy and gave us the lay of the land. The house is beautifully restored and the location is walking distance to the beach and downtown. If you want an experience opposite from something large and corporate, this is the place to stay. ##### Stacy Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tony Mar 31, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### love this place my girlfriend chose it for us and ever since we have loved to stay here any time we are here for Santa Cruz the owner is really nice and the rooms are just one of a kind! ##### Tony Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeff May 21, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Santa Cruz Fun!!!
