Great place by the beach

This is our second time staying here and we love it. It is walking distance to the ocean and a great walking path. Owner is quick to respond and we loved having coffee on the balcony. A fire pit or a hot tub would make this place perfect !.tuoumake this perf td perf

Great Beach Getaway

Great time spending a sunny winter-day at the beach. Great location! Home was nicely decorated, comfortable and beachy. I appreciated the check in emails from the owner, the easy/secure parking and large outdoor deck.

Great location!

Our family really enjoyed staying here. It is in a great location. Close to the beach as well as a coffee shop and a few other eateries. We loved being able to just walk everywhere. We also appreciated all the information given to us from the owner regarding the location and things to do nearby. We look forward to staying here again.

A great little get away for family and paws!

We really enjoyed our weekend at the Coastal Queen! Very clean, comfortable, and in a great location by some of the best beaches, Seacliff and New Brighton! If you like to walk, enjoy the beach, and like to have your pup with you, then a stay here is a win-win-win! Thanks to the owners for making it such a pleasant time!

Great for a small family

This is a cute little place that is great for a small family. The owners are wonderful and responsive to questions. It has great appliances and a well stocked kitchen for making all your family meals on vacation. A very short (and flat) walk to the beach is definitely a plus for us with kids!

Fabulous house near the beach

My husband and 2 teens and dog and I had a fantastic stay at this house. It’s very close to the beach, has everything you could need, and is quiet and comfortable. A great value for this amazing neighborhood! We’d love to come back soon.

Spacious cottage on the bay

Great space for a family- two bedrooms, two bathrooms and large outdoor deck. Well stocked kitchen. Only meal we prepared was breakfast. Quick walk to beach. As tennis fans, we were delighted to get the channel for the U S Open. Comfy furnishings. Limited stores within walking distance. Many restaurants and coffee spots several miles away.

Home away from home

My husband and I come quite often to visit our daughter and grandson in Santa Cruz. We have stayed in many VRBO properties and this one was one of the best. Very clean, comfortable king bed, kitchen with all the necessary dishes, etc. for cooking meals, and a great location. Can walk to a beautiful beach and a quick drive to Santa Cruz.

Enjoyed It!

Overall, we enjoyed our stay. Good location (loved beach access and convenience of local restaurants, not crazy about motel across the street), comfortable accommodations. Only issue we had - downstairs bathroom light did not work.

2nd time to this lovely home

My kids love it. They refer to it as "The beachhouse." They're expecting us to go every year now because they enjoy it so much! We love the short walk to the beach. The cozy home is just right for our little family. There is nothing we would change. Two thumbs up!

Not as advertised

Was not esthetically pleasing indoors or out. Items that should have been included in the house were missing.

Presents even better in person!

Such a fabulous beach house! My family of 4 (including 2 teens) all had a great time and were able to spread out after our day at the beach. The rental actually looks better in person- very clean and well stocked. There were even birthday candles there...no detail was overlooked. Though it was a busy week with spring break, with all surrounding rentals occupied, it was very quiet and serene. The price is very reasonable and so much better than staying a hotel. We will definitely be back.
