About Scoot Johnson

Arbor House Cottage has been in the family since the 1940s. Though it wasn't called Arbor House then, it was simply a rental that my parents owned. My grandparents lived across the street in the corner house and I remember going to see them and playing there. Being with them was very special to me and my siblings. After they passed, I lived there with my Mother and Father until I married and started my own family.

It is good to be able to go over from time to time, enjoy the beach and good restaurants and recall the wonderful memories!.....(note the picture on the wall in the dining room, it's not me but reminds me of me as a child on the beach).....

Scott and I have put many long and loving hours into making Arbor House the warm and welcoming Cottage that it is today.

So, 'welcome'....This is your home for the short time you are here. Enjoy, Relax and let your cares slip away.

Scoot Johnson purchased this cottage in 1946

A Perfect Get-away!

  • Stayed: Aug 2012
My wife and I stayed at your cottage from 08/08 - 08/12/12, and just loved it! The convenience of being located less than 1/2 block from the beach and harbor restaurants was much appreciated. The cottage was just perfect for the two of us and our small dog! We were able to walk our dog along the beaches and the harbor, while also travel around town, knowing that we would have a parking spot in front! We loved relaxing on the outside deck, especially in the early evening hours with drinks on hand! We also appreciated the option of taking a short walk to the beach at any time of day without worrying about obtaining a parking spot! We would end our days popping in a DVD, and being quite comfortable in the living room. LOVED IT, and intend to return! Thanks!

Perfect for a couple

  • Submitted: Aug 12, 2012
  • Stayed: Aug 2012
We just stayed four nights, and loved it! The cottage is perfect for a couple alone, or with either small children or a teenager, but we just had our ourselves to enjoy it, and our small dog! Every day we would spend time out on the deck, either in the late morning or late afternoon with drinks prior to dinner. The beach is literally steps down the street, so we were able to take our chairs, towels and books from the car, and never move our vehicle to go to the beach. We were able to visit the local dog park, and also walk our dog on the beach each day. The outside shower was especially convenient to wash off her paws. Even our dog took to the cottage by laying out on the deck! Each night we went out to dinner (one night brought in pizza), and we had no trouble with parking during our stay. We enjoyed DVDs and just "chilled out" each evening, while "sleeping in" each morning, until the fog cleared. Just wanted to say that we enjoyed our stay immensely, and intend to return! Thank you!!!

Owner's Response: Perfect! The deck is one of our favorite areas of the Cottage. It sounds like you enjoyed every moment of your stay. We look forward to hosting you again in the future. Safe travels until next time! S & S

Charmed Again!

My family and I just spent another wonderful Memorial Day weekend in your cottage and it couldn't have been any closer to perfect. This was our second time staying at Arbor House and it felt like "home". The location is absolutely incredible--we didn't get in our car ONCE except to take our son to the boardwalk. We walked to the Crow's Nest, Johnny's, and Aldo's. The weather was great, the house is cozy and charming--stocked with everything you could think of. Cocktails on the deck at the end of the day overlooking the adorable garden and the marina beyond--heaven on earth. Our only regret: not booking a longer stay! Thank you Scott and Shirley once again....

Owner's Response: You are so welcome! We enjoy nothing more than sharing Arbor House with guests like you.....Everything you mentioned is indeed the perfect weekend in Santa Cruz.

If a new guest is considering a stay in Santa Cruz, don't let the opportunity to pass you by! Choose Arbor House Beach Cottage for you next "charmed" stay!

We stayed here for a month at the end of a long road trip. The house and location were perfect. Close to the beach, the best coffee in town at the Kind Grind, and a hop skip and a jump from town. The kitchen has absolutely everything you need, a great deck and backyard with beautiful sunset views. We will stay here every time we are in Santa Cruz.

A Beach Treat

  • Submitted: Oct 20, 2011
  • Stayed: Jul 2011
I'm a single parent with two children, and the Arbor House perfectly met expectations base upon the description provided by the owners. I recommend that a photo of the bathroom be added, but for those that wish to know, it equals the rest of the property in appointment and style; with a bathtub shower enclosed in glass, pedestal sink, and good working toilet, and plenty of hooks for everyone's bath towels. While my son slept in every morning, I'd walk one block with my daughter every morning to the Kind Grind for a great cappuccino for me and a morning roll for my gal. Then we sat at the beach and watched the volleyball players warm up while enjoying the sand and waves. We surfed, swam (bring or rent a wetsuit) and had a wonderful time. The cottage is small, but like a well designed bungelow, it has everything you need, and nothing you can't live without. Scott and Shirley are great owners; responsive and efficient. Thank you for a great experience.
