The house was the perfect size for me and my wife and my toddler, having a small backyard was a great addition.The house was beautifully decorated and stocked with everything we needed for our week long stay. It’s also within easy biking or driving distance to everything, plus a quick 5 minute walk to the beach. The owner Lara, was a kind and generous host, and my family and I look forward to staying there in the future

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

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!).

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!
