Super fun trip

We had a wonderful stay. Our daughter attends UC Santa Cruz and we were there for the weekend to see her. Really enjoyed the mini golf and hot tub. Beautiful cozy home with lots of charm.

Fun getaway with family

Close to boardwalk but not noisy. We ran on the trail to the light house every day, walked to restaurants and threw plastic axes in the backyard. Perfect setup for the 8 of us. Thanks for hosting

Perfect family spot

This house was the perfect home base for our extended family visit to Santa Cruz for our daughter’s graduation. It was well appointed with everything we needed and more! We loved relaxing and playing games in the beautiful backyard. The putting green was so fun! The host was very responsive and welcoming. We highly recommend this property.

Great location, beautiful house

Once settled in you can walk to everything! We did not have nice weather during our stay, so we did drive more than expected, but the boardwalk and many restaurants are a quick walk from the house. We were cozy inside with several fireplaces and we played some games in the large backyard. We would definitely stay there again.

Annual trip spent at Ohana

Our annual trip to Santa Cruz was made even better when we stayed at the Ohana property. Wow!!! Kudos to the owners and management team. Location was awesome to Dream Inn, downtown, and of course, the boardwalk! The property was outstanding. Each parent(s) had their own room and bathroom and the young adults/teens were able to share rooms conveniently. Kitchen is very well stocked in terms of pans and utensils. There are different seating areas inside as well as outside the house where you can be social or solitary. The hot tub and putting green were awesome. Our favorite place, though, was sitting outside around the fire! Will definitely book this property again!
