"Nice family trip to the beach. The condo was spacious and the primary bedroom was fantastic. The other two bedrooms were small, but were still accommodating. The property is very well maintained. There’s paths to walk on for a nature walk and the beach has some hard sand that makes long walks on the beach very easy to do. There were 6 of us that went and there was plenty of space. Great stay!"

My wife and I stayed here at the recommendation of a friend. The occasion was our 25th wedding anniversary. The inn was delightful. We've stayed in many B&Bs - never have I felt I was somewhere where there was greater attention to detail. It is simply among the best of the best.

I was looking for a weekend get-away and this location was perfect. It is in a quiet neighborhood and within walking distance to the beach and restaurants. Beautiful views and very peaceful. Holiday House includes a small fridge, microwave, and stove.

Everything was great and the room had features that I can really appreciate. For instance, a sink in the bathroom and outside the bathroom door. Even something as thoughtful as having a card dropbox by the door next to the parking The only downside was the mattress. Both nights I woke up with my lower back and hips aching. I know it was the mattress because I could get up and walk around and it didn’t bother me, but when I laid down again, the ache returned. I ended up sleeping on the sofa in...

The cabin was wonderful. Wish I had known more about it first . Next time I will bring coffee and food. The town didn't have many places to eat, etc. But we were so close to Santa Cruz that it didn't matter. It's a great place for young families. There is no air condition in cabin but the nights were cool and we were comfortable.

The room and amenities were beautiful and clean! My one complaint was that it is so very noisy. We were woken up by staff and guests each day starting between 630-730. We stayed 4 nights and this was everyday. We were also on the 1st floor next to the staff only rooms, which was probably the reason for that.
