Great location with everything we needed
Great location, close to the ocean and walking distance to shopping, dining. Lots of options. We walked over for a coffee shop/ice cream outing one afternoon which was nice. Plenty of gear provided for our kids and us adults. Bikes, beach cart, fully stocked laundry area, coffee, etc. Just plan to bring your own shampoo/conditioner as Santa Cruz no longer allows the mini sizes to be offered. Akemi was quick to respond to our questions and a gracious host. It's a charming property, we loved it!

Fantastic Stay
What a fun beach bungalow! Location was key - we were able to walk to the beach, to stores and restaurants. The cottage was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the decor, the layout of the house, the cozy bedding/blankets, and the overall vibe of Casa La Sirena. The owners were incredibly thoughtful, detail-oriented, and easy to communicate with. Hoping to be back next year!

We had a very nice, comfortable stay. Our host responded very quickly for questions we had at checkin. One thing is that the garbage cans should be labeled regular trash and recycling. Would definitely stay again.
