About Scott 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.
Scott Johnson purchased this cottage in 1946

Guestbook comments from the manager
We just returned home from a five day stay in the "Arbor House" in Santa Cruz. We spent those five days with our son's family (they have a 2 and 3 year old). This cottage has everything that you could possibly need for a beach get away. The property is totally fenced in, making it great for kids. The Arbor House is decorated perfectly for a beach cottage. The beach is so close, and the harbor is so beautiful just out the kitchen window. We will definately rent this cottage again, we loved our stay there.

Fun beautiful beach cottage!
Close to the beach, shops, boating, and restaurants. You have everything you need!
Great Stay
Loved this rental. Cute and cozy with lots of character. Plenty of room for family dinners on the back patio while you watch the sunset. My family felt very comfortable and right at home. Just step outside and hear the waves and smell the sand and ocean breeze. Very conveniently located. My only negative would be that the owner should replace and/or install new screens around the house windows. From past rentals I know there are many raccoons and spiders I've only seen in Santa Cruz that like to come out at night which made me too nervous to leave the windows open while we slept. Otherwise, we definitely plan to stay here again!
Cute, Charming & Cozy Sea Cottage
Our family of four loved this perfect cottage so very close to the beach and harbor. The harbor-themed decor is artfully placed everywhere, but the real charm is the tiny, 1940s sea captain's galley (kitchen), the little nooks in the garden to steal away with a good book, the garden flowers, and the fantastic deck overlooking the harbor and coast. We spent most of the time outdoors basking in the warm sun on the deck in comfortable lounge chairs and eating meals "al fresco" at the large table. This cozy old-fashioned cottage shows its age in some areas, but it is stocked with everything you need. Throw open the windows and doors, let the sea breeze in, and enjoy the sounds and sights of the shore--crashing waves, seagulls, harbor seals, hummingbirds and the sailboats. Neighbors are everywhere, but all were quiet and respectful of privacy. The Crows Nest and cafe's down by the beach seem to always be having a party, which is great if you need it. This place is a keeper. Special Note for Someone who does not know Santa Cruz: The fog burns away at noon almost like clockwork.
Wonderful!
Nice and cozy little cottage by the ocean
Outstandingly Again!!!! 👍
We have spent the last five summers vacationing at the Arbor House and we'll continue to go back. The location is a perfect mix of beach, restaurants and fun. The Arbor House is a quaint, well equipped beach rental. It has everything you need and the owners are always accommodating to our concerns and needs. We highly recommend this wonderful beach house. 👍👍
A trip back home to SC
The location was perfect. the house was comfortable with all supplies needed. kitchen was very small and difficult to work in with more than one person. Almost no counter space if coffee pot, toaster and and dish rack all out at the same time. Outdoor shower and deck were fantastic.
Map
Beach Volleyball, Famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Santa Cruz Pier, The Skunk Train, Downtown Santa Cruz and Downtown Capitola Village are all just 5 minutes away..........Carmel and Monterey are a 45 minute drive..........A variety of public and private chartered tours on the Bay are available, book a Wine Tasting Tour or Deep Sea Fishing excursion and Much, Much More!
