The two reviews above by bucksjb, are written by the owner of Agreatplacetostay.net, Judith Buck.

That's what she does she goes out and posts good reviews to try to overshadow the bad ones- over half of the wonderful reviews for her business on VBRO are ones that she posted on the behalf of "customers". Do your research like previous reviews stated.

Not a great place to do business with. Be very careful, folks! Just Google AGreatPlaceToStay or a Great Place to Stay in Santa Cruz ... You will find many 1-star reviews on the internet. Yelp is one place:

To gain access to many other valid 1-star reviews not shown and not factored into the overall rating, scroll down to the end of the reviews where you can click on the small grey word Filtered on the left. Yelp has an annoying habit of filtering reviews on a whim *incorrectly* (Shame on you Yelp). Here is a direct link to it: http://www.yelp.com/filtered_reviews/QqXXsGWfNrC8Mr1aF4paxw?fsid=qnIIvryv1Jic_Do92mxkkQ (copy and paste into your browser)

Can Not get a response

My mom and I have unsuccessfully tried to book a house that we stayed at last year "The Light House Villa" and luckily we dealt with the owners last year and had a wonderful experience.How unfortunate that they have hired an incompetent broker to rent their property.

"AGreatPlaceToStay.Net" A day ...

"AGreatPlaceToStay.Net" A day before our supposed arrival (11/9/11) for a great family reunion/husbands 60th birthday, they canceled on us! Although we had secured and made full payment, a month in advance,for one of the vacation home they advertise. A great place to stay for 3 nights for $3600.00, with guest list that included people coming from out of state and far distances! Panic Attack was how I felt, and the disbelief in how a vacation rental agency can be so unprofessional and irresponsible as an entity. According to their rental agreement, they would forfeit your deposit, if the situation was reversed and the renter had to cancels they would make you pay at least one night stay to the owner of the property. Although we got our deposit back, but the owner, Judith Buck, arrogantly, was not willing to consider any type of compensation for all the hardship her agency has caused us.

Please read all the reviews before committing to a rental agreement, the contract only provides legal coverage for "agreatplacetostay" and not the renter, the owner has no people skill, confrontational, irresponsible and arrogant.

Stay away from this company.

yes, the day before these people where supposed to stay, the owner's son called with with the news that his mother, the owner had been stricked with a terrible case of shingles and her doctor had told her she should not move out of her home and stay 200 miles away at her son's home as she usually did when her home was rented. We at aGreatPlaceToStay.net spent hours working with this guest to find them an alternative home, including going to our competitors, and they insisted that the elderly owner should move out to accommodate their two day stay. I wish there was a way to rate people who are so selfish and nasty to deal with. Judith

What a nice company - they found us the perfect home for our Vacation

We were late in calling for the summer, but took a chance and called aGreatPlaceToStay.net. What a nice surprise. Got a very friendly lady at 6:45pm on a Tuesday, who told us she was with a network of friends and she had been to all the homes and had their prices and availability. Within in minutes she had found a fun and clean place call Bucks Beach Bungalow, complete with a large hot tub that had amazing jets, a foosball table for the two boys, an assortment of bicycles for my 17 yr old daughter to ride down to Capitola, a large stainless steel BBQ for Dad to cook up a freshly caught salmon and a wonderful shiatsu massage chair for me! Just a half block to the first of three beaches that were all pet friendly so the dog had a ball too! She also showed us how to find a large number of free events and activities that were happening during our stay!! Just couldn't have asked for better! We'll be back soon.

A Vacation Rental with Heart

My 10th anniversary snuck up on me and I called after 6pm on a Friday night and told them my wishlist for a perfect Anniversary weekend. The reservation agent totally when to bat for me and came up with 3-options complete with Hot Tub, near the beach and best of all, pet friendly so we could bring our dog! To top it off, when we arrived a few hours later, there was a boquet of fresh flowers and wishes for a wonderful celebration! This company is the Best!! Jim and Andrea Winters, Walnut Creek CA.

Very Helpful site and local people to talk to

We needed to find a set of vacation rentals for a large (55 guests) corporate meeting. This company found us 7-vacation homes all within a 3-block walk of each other and the beach, plus a very large Manor to host meetings. The cost of the lodging was less than $128 per person for the two day weekend. Great bargain and very helpful staff.
