Hawaiian Style Beach House, One Block to the Beach
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz
There is nothing like listening to the waves crash on the shore or to watch the sunset. We wanted at place we could all enjoy as a family or with friends. What I have come to enjoy is sharing this house with guest from all over the country and the world. I truly enjoy all the wonderful comments we receive about the house. It has become a special place for many others who have stayed here. It is very comfortable, and relaxing. We try to have everything you would like on vacation at your finger tips. It is a great location for all generations. Not far is the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, which fun for all kids. The beach is great for swimming, catching waves, watching sea life and just taking a walk. We hope you come and stay and experience what we have enjoyed.
The Unique Benefits at this House
This house is a perfect place for people who want to spend time at the beach. The beach is only a short block away. It is a beautiful beach and wonderful for long walks and for all types of beach activities. The beach is not a crowded beach and is only for the locals in the area. The house itself is ideal if you are the type that wants to spend the night at home with BBQ on the outside deck with views of the beach, Plasma T.V. and a gourmet kitchen. Or if you like to go out at night the house is located 2 miles from Capitola, which is beach town loaded with lots of restaurants and shops. The Santa Cruz Boardwalk is located 3 miles and has activities for all generations. The benefit to staying at this house is the renovations, which allow you to be very comfortable and for the location to everything that Santa Cruz has to offer.
The boardwalk is an amusement park filled with rides, events, arcade and many attractions. It has something for everyone, Go to www,beachboardwalk.com to see all the attractions.
Capitola is a quaint little beach town located 2 miles from our house. Capitola has great restaurants and shops. It is a great walk to go from our house along E Cliff Drive and Pleasure Point to Cap
Cowells is one of the best places to learn how to surf. There is a surf shop called Cowell's, across the street from the beach, you can get surf lessons there.
Wonderful surf spot for all levels. Pleasure Point is a scenic 1 mile walk from our house.
Located with in walking distance of the house. This is a great restaurant to go to after a day at the beach. They often have live music at night. Good Hawaiian food!!
Owner's Map of Santa Cruz
We are the Talbot family and we live in the East Bay of San Francisco. When we bought our vacation rental our kids were 9 and 12, and we wanted a place we could all have fun. We wanted to embrace the Santa Cruz life style with a beach house style home. I was born and raised in Hawaii and I wanted a home away from home. So the island decor fit perfect with the house location to the surf, beach and the Aloha Grill down the street. Our kids love the bunk beds and we made one of the rooms into a surfer decor to bring the Santa Cruz surf style to life. The beach, which is a short walk away was perfect for us. It has boogie boarding, surfing, great sand for sand castles and wonderful views. The beach has no public parking so it is inhabited by mostly locals and doesn't get to crowded. Also at night it is a great beach for bonfires.

Hale Kai beach house is our favorite house in Santa Cruz. We've had opportunities to stay at the main house and the guest house a couple of times through out the years. The house and guest house has everything we need, the location couldn't be better, everything is well maintained and we would recommend Hale Kai to our family & friends. When we finish with our daily coastal activities: surfing, boogie boarding, moonlight walks on the beach,& riding our bikes around State Park, we love to come "home" to Hale Kai and relax in the great room or the back deck, which lagoon & ocean view are beautiful. Two of my favorite things about this house is the attention to detail and how spacious it is. Nothing better than playing hard all day and then staying at Hale Kai, where you can't help but relax. Thanks for helping make memories for my family. Definitely looking to our next visit and memories!

hale kai is a wonderful place to spend a week-end, a week or longer. everything you need is provided - the completely equipped kitchen, well furnished living, dining, family and bedrooms (and all with great style.) the protected decks are perfect for dining or lounging and the beach is just a short, safe, one block walk. information on restaurants, activities, and shopping was provided in a very helpful binder. the beautiful landscaping completes the package.

An ideal base for a vacation in Santa Cruz. The house is decorated to a very high standard and well maintained, the pictures don't do it justice. The deck of the house has a great view of the sea and there is easy access to the beach; there are also boogie boards as well as books and board games provided.There is a helpful guide in the house to the many activities in the area but we spent most of the time on the local beach. The owner has thought of everything possible to provide for the needs of visitors and has been helpful with all of our queries. We would definitely recommend this house.

Our family had a wonderful time staying at the Haw'n Style Beach house and enjoying Santa Cruz. The house was clean, comfortable and close to the beach. The best part of the house was the lanai. It had a great view of the ocean and was a perfect place to unwind and BBQ after a day at the beach. Also, renting from Lori was a nice experience. She was quick to respond to any inquires and made an extra effort to make sure we enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Lori!!

Cute beach house

Review Submitted: 07/06/11
This beach house was really cute. The location was great,felt safe and convienient. The kitchen was beautiful and had everything you could possibly want. My kids loved the bunk room ,and hall bath was very nice. I did take one star off because of a few things I didnt like. The queen bedroom was very small and no dresser for my clothes. The bath next to it, I am sure, is on the list to be redone. Shower was tiny and closed in and shower faucet dripped nonstop and would wake me up at night. This bathroom also had a musty smell. The deck had a great view, but also could use a little upkeep. That said, the rest of the house was beautiful and had plenty of room . Owners were also nice to work with.

We stayed a week with our three young kids, and were thrilled. I'd recommend it without hesitation. The house is beautiful and welcoming, and the owners have paid generous attention to guests' comfort. We especially enjoyed lazy family time in the open, modern kitchen and living space. The location is perfect, a quick walk to the beach for a 4yo, and a good base for day trips to Monterey or redwoods. If you're in the mood to eat out, there's a tasty brunch at Johnny's Harborside and stylish and superb romantic dining at Bonny Doon Cellar Door.

This Hawaiin Beach House at Santa Cruz, was simply wonderful. It was spacious and has lot's of natural lighting, and the highlight was definitely the proximity to the beach and the kitchen. We cooked and ate from the well stocked kitchen most of the time. This place is extremely kid friendly, with bunk beds which my kids enjoyed thoroughly. Simply put in my young daughter's words " this was the Bestest vacation places ever!!!".
