Beautiful Property. Really cute front and backyard. Everything is clean and maintained. Has pretty much everything you need to have a cozy stay. Very nice bathroom and kitchen. Cute, safe neighborhood. Good parking. Easy walk to the beach. Anything else you need is within short driving distance. Really couldn't ask for more in a vacation rental. Manager of property helped promptly. Had I really lovely stay! Loved it.

We recently stayed at the cozy beach house for 4 nights. Everything was just perfect when we arrived. The house is super cute and the back yard was so nice too to have morning coffee and relax. It was close to the beach, although it was a bit chilly for the beach. It’s exactly how it is pictured, the bed was comfy too. We had an extra special treat to see Lena’s 2 dogs who were so cute! If we come back to this area, we would definitely stay here again. If you have any doubts… don’t! You won’t regret it!

Host Lana is great and her two dogs are awesome! They welcomed us to the house like we were long lost friends. She’s not on property all the time so if you’re not a dog person it’s okay. Party people do NOT book this perfect, little two person home. I don’t want this listing pulled due to crappy guests.

Lana’s place was absolutely amazing. Beautiful, clean, with wonderful walk ability to the beach and nearby restaurants. We also loved the little back porch and yard and spent hours out there reading and enjoying a Santa Cruz sunshine. Will be back for sure… I’m not sure how we could’ve asked for more

This adorable little place was just as described. It had all the basic amenities, a very comfortable bed, and it was EXTREMELY immaculate. I am a clean freak and this was way beyond my expectations. It’s a friendly and quiet neighborhood. Good communication, I would definitely book here again if available.

Lana's beach house is an adorable cottage with beautiful beach themed decor. It was very comfortable. The backyard is a perfect spot to read or reflect. The neighborhood is quiet with friendly neighbors. The beach is a 5 minute walk away, there is a small convenience store/deli around the corner, and several restaurants in walking distance (go to Johnny's Harborside!).

Nice little house. Enjoyed the back yard. Limited seating for dinner. No one was using the 'studio" in back - a separate rental space? Might be a little awkward using the back yard and laundry if others were there. Walk to the beach and restaurants. Would stay again.

My husband and I stayed here for a long weekend as we were attending a wedding. The property was exactly as advertised. Such a cute, cozy beach house. Perfect for relaxing and just steps from Twin Lakes State Beach and walking distance to some great eating spots. Harbor Cafe breakfast was delish! One of the best VRBO's that we've stayed in. Would definitely come back again!
