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.

A perfect beach cottage in a perfect location.
We enjoyed coffee on the front porch in the morning and views from the sizeable back deck in the afternoon and evening. Comfortable and clean.
Great beach house
Very much enjoyed our stay at Arbor House. Very comfortable cottage with great access to the beach and restaraunts. Easy check-in and check-out. Will definitely rent again.
Clean, cozy and a perfect location!
Me and my kids had a great stay! Our arrival was a little rough, we couldn't find parking and I couldn't get the door unlocked, but when Scott contacted me and went over how the door lock worked, we got right in. For the inconvenience, Scott offered us a free night, but we couldn't stay, so he let us check out as late as we wanted on our departure day. I really appreciated this! I loved the location and would recommend this property.
Takes your breath away!!!!!
This was my wife and I's 3rd time at the Arbor House. We love it. It feels like it is our home. It is our favorite get-away spot. Can we buy it?
The cottage was amazing.
The cottage was very close to the beach. We had a fabulous time eating dinner on the deck and enjoying the beautiful views.
Perfect Cottage in Santa Cruz
Incredible location with view of the Harbor, well appointed with all the things you need to enjoy a vacation and bonus room for added space.
