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.

Hi Mary, Thank you so much. We truly enjoyed our stay and loved being back in La Selva, it feels like home! The place was perfect. The view was incredible and we loved the walk to the beach. We will definately be back and will let our friends know about the place. Thanks Again, Elaina

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

We had a great time. The weather was a bit too foggy, but that is just the risk this time of year. As for the house, my suggestions for improvements are many more serving dishes for food and the knifes are really awful. We cook a lot and were hampered by these two things. Great that there is so much storage in the kitchen cabinets (and in the bedrooms). It was VERY helpful to have the paper products etc. And all the towels. I also LOVE that the process to rent from you is so straightforward and clear, and that you do not have pages and pages of instructions for everything. We are going to try to come again in two years. Thanks for your feedback Lisa. I will add serving plates and sharpen and/or replace the knives right away. I look forward to your return. ~ Mary

As far as the house goes, we really enjoyed how spacious it was and the separation between the living room and the sitting area off the dining room. It allowed some people to watch a movie while others read, played games, or did puzzles. Also, some of the kids set up a jigsaw puzzle downstairs and it was nice to have that separate area as well. The walk to the beach is just great and I can't tell you how nice it was to have our dogs with us. All in all it was a nice, relaxing time.

The house was wonderful for the 10 people! The large t.v. was super for the young people's Wii. We used one of the BBQ's one night - and all of the utensils I think. It was clean and ready for our group. You were correct about the recycling available for the Christmas tree - yeah! The beach was close and very private this time of the year. Lovely walk. Good broom/dustpan and vacuum cleaner. Clean windows for great view. Open floor plan was welcome with so many guests! Large kitchen was great and furniture amount was amenable to the large number of occupants.
