    I don’t usually leave reviews, but Arden really deserves one. Amazing manager and made the whole storage process so easy.

    I love renting from Extra space storage. The manager is kind and friendly. And the trees provide nice shade outside my storage unit for hot days and it is a lovely location. Thank you once again, Extra space storage. I would highly recommend them. ... Read more

    10/10 experience! Arden is amazing! I've completed many cross country moves in the military and this was by far the most professional and convenient location/company. The on site manager Arden goes above and beyond to ensure a seamless process and she is a subject matter expert. I had twenty four hours to pull a move and this location came through at a moments notice. She educated me on my options and provided support from start to finish. ... Read more

    Great experience at Extra Space Storage in Santa Cruz. Arden was extremely helpful, professional, and easy to work with. He took the time to explain everything clearly, made the process smooth, and answered all my questions without rushing. Customer service like this actually makes a difference. Highly recommend this location—and ask for Arden if you can. ... Read more
    Rudy L. - 6 February 2026
    I had a 10x 20 drive to the door unit at Extra Space Storage on 38th Ave in Capitola for about a year. The unit was clean, had a ceiling light, the facility was very well lit, and gate access was available until 10 pm! A huge plus! My husband passed away suddenly last year. We had to clean out his machine shop. I needed a storage space asap. Extra Space was in the neighborhood. I pre- paid 4 months in advance and got a great deal. As I sorted my husband's things out, I downsized to the point of no longer needing that much space. So I was able to move out. Arden & Michael were extremely personable, courteous, and answered any questions I had. I would definitely recommend Extra Space Storage on 38th Ave! ... Read more

    I am in the middle of relocating and needed storage quick. I spoke with Arden @Extra Space Storage and she quickly found me a unit to meet my needs. She was professional and knowledgeable ad helped through the process. Fast forward ten days later my need for a larger space to add a vehicle was accommodated by Arden. She once again informed me of a recent vacancy and allowed me to move in that day! She offered to clean the unit immediately but I let her know it's not a concern. Once again Arden & ESS saved me time and money. Great place to store extra stuff and great staff working there. Will recommend to friends. A real asset to the community! ... Read more

    I love my storage here. Arden has been so patient and helpful. I had an emergency move in after I had theft of my property at my old storage facility so to say I was a bit frazzled and stressed is an understatement. She made it so easy for me to get in and then allowed me to switch to another more accessible unit within 30 days. I feel safe at any time of the day here a the place is always clean. Great staff,. I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Thank you for your excellent service. ... Read more

    The Employees at Public Storage are always a great help with anything that comes up. The property has someone walking around all the time they are super friendly. This is the best self storage experience I have ever had. Thanks to the staff ... Read more
    Robert C. - 22 March 2025
    We have utilized the services of a few storage units around town, and this is easily the best experience we've had. 4 stars for pricing (it does go up what feels like twice a year), but 10/5 stars for Arden the site manager. Arden regularly goes above and beyond, keeps everything spotlessly clean, and takes the time to get to know people without ever being weird or nosy. We'll be back! ... Read more
    Westside V. - 16 January 2025
    This was the best experience I have ever had with any type of rental business in my life. The manager was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and polite. She was efficient, friendly and gave me exactly what I was looking for in short order. Because of her, I would recommend Extra Space Storage as superior to all who asked above any other storage company. Many thanks! ... Read more
    David J. - 30 December 2024
    I spoke with a lovely person by phone yesterday who was happy to answer my questions. I rented a unit online, and received a follow up call from Arden, the manager. She helped me extend my rental agreement beyond what was offered on the website. Both people I spoke with are professional, kind and great to work with. I appreciate that the property is secure, clean and in a great location. I highly recommend this business. ... Read more
