Owner's Map of La Selva Beach
We discovered La Selva Beach, a little known area at the south end of Santa Cruz, when looking for a vacation home on the coast and fell in love with its natural charm and beauty. We are definitely biased but we think La Selva Beach House is truely a one-of-a-kind getaway on the coast. Everytime we are there, we are taken by the views and the serenity of the area.

This home was perfect for our 3 night stay. There were 5 children and 5 adults. The kids had a great time playing hide and seek and the accomodations were great-clean and adequately supplied. Location ideal for Monterey and Santa Cruz activities. The beach was within good walking distance. All in all it was a perfect vacation house and described as "awesome" by one of the kids. Owner was very helpful in providing information and prompt response to questions. Would recommend.

We had a great stay for four days at this house. We had four adults and four kids and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house was very comfortable, roomy and warm. We had a great time enjoying the outdoor fire at night. The kids really enjoyed the short walk (or scooter ride) to the beach each day. The beach was just beautiful with huge crashing waves. We did day trips to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Capitola and Santa Cruz which are not too far. I would definitely come back next year if it is available.

A Little Slice Of Heaven

The La Selva Beach House is exactly that...a little slice of heaven. Our stay over Presidents weekend was spectacular. There were a total of 8 of us, 4 adults and 4 children. The expansive yard provided plenty of safe space for the children to ride scooters, play tag and fly kites. The outdoor fire area felt secluded and gave the cozy warmth needed as the sun set, all the while listening to the waves not far off in the distance. The nearby beach was one of the cleanest and most beautiful I have been to in Northern California. Plenty of shells for the children and a safe distance between the shore and crashing waves. The house was very spacious and accommodated all of us very well. The kitchen and entire house was well equipped. The area itself is quiet and peaceful exactly what we all needed, a getaway from the city madness. Thank you for a spectacular weekend at your beach house. We hope to return.

My family of 11 (plus two large dogs) met here for Christmas, and we couldn't have asked for a better place to celebrate our holiday. We rented both the upstairs and downstairs, and for the first time (ever) no one felt like they were living on top of each other. The kitchen is well appointed, and we felt quite comfortable cooking there. The proximity to Monterey and Santa Cruz is great, but we chose to bum around the house and the beach, and actually felt relaxed by the time we left. We all hope to get back there for another family vacation in the future.
Owner response:Thanks for the review. So glad you enjoyed your stay and hope that you will return in the future. ~ Mary

Our stay at this house was amazing and the house was beautiful. It was so much more than we expected. The house is very inviting, warm and comfortable.. There is enough room for more than one family to stay. The kids had a great time exploring the property and watching the bunnies. It had everything we needed. The balcony was a fun place to hang out with friends. The kids loved the fact that we could walk to the beach. The beach was clean and not over crowded at all. It is also a short drive to upper Manrisa beach where we had a bonfire on the beach. The location was perfect, we spent one day in Monterey at the aquarium, next day at Santa Cruz, the next at Capitola Beach. We definately recommend this house if you are planning on staying in Monterey or Santa Cruz, too much traffic and people in both cities, it is so worth short drive to have the peacefulness we had here. We will be back.

Greetings Mary and Mark, Thank you for sharing your beach home with us these past days. Our time spent there was wonderful. The location is perfect for vacationers to travel to the aquarium and also to the Santa Cruz area. The children loved roaming outside and we watched, but weren't fearful of a busy street right out front. We found the trail to the beach and took advantage of that. Thank you. We did take the info to pass to others. Pat
