The Unique Benefits at this House
Our home is located on a private street that actually dead ends into the beach. Since this is a private street, there is very little traffic. We are only five doors from the beach which makes the view from our large deck truly beautiful. And of course, it is a very short walk to a great family beach at the end of our street.
Just two blocks away on 26th Avenue is a great surfing beach where they hold frequent surfing competitions.
Nearby are several great restaurants within walking distance - Star Bene (Italian), Nuevo Grill (Southwest), and Aloha Island Grillee (Hawaiian). And since we are only 5 minutes north of Capitola, you can spend an evening browsing through the shops and eating at one of its famous restaurants, such as Shadowbrook.
Very nice place for a casual dinner. Great food, authentic mexican with a few twists. Staff very friendly and accommodating and nice subtle live music. Will go again, and its just down the street
Authentic Italian food served in a small intimate dining area

My parents purchased this property about 22 years ago. My sisters and I decided to convert this beach house to a vacation rental so we had it completely remodeled in 2007. Although this is an older home, during our remodel we gutted the house and installed new electrical/heating/ and water lines, etc. before we did the cosmetic remodel.

We've stayed here several times and it is definitely one of our favorite destinations now. It's in a perfect location where it seems to get the most sun of anywhere in the area. Our kids love the house. It's got plenty of room for them to play plus a hot tub which they also love. We love the feel of the house too. It's very "beachy" and nicely appointed. It's got a wonderful deck for after beach BBQs with great views. We'll be back for sure!

Really enjoyable time in a spacious home with plenty of room and comfort for sleeping as well as communal time and private time. Very child friendly and proximity to beach, boardwalk, downtown, etc. are all huge pluses. We especially liked the quiet neighborhood and removal from hustle and bustle usually associated with beach community rentals. I highly recommend this home for family or large group usage.

My family of five recently rented this house with another family of four. We had the best time and fit with room to spare. It is nicely decorated and very clean. Not a bunch of hodge podge that you find in so many of these family owned rentals. The walk to the beach was easy... and we lucked out with the weather. The kitchen is supplied with all the necessary cooking utensils and basic spices that made it easy to cook for our families. I also like the cable package. Definitely will rent again if we vacation in Santa Cruz!

My sisters and I wanted to get away for a weekend and spend sometime together and we choose the perfect spot! The house was not only gorgeous, spacious, and equipped with everything we needed, it was only a few steps from the beach. The location is very easily assessable and the owners made the rental process very easy. I would recommend this rental to anyone looking to spend a vacation or just a wekend in Santa Cruz. We are already trying to figure out when we can all go back again!

This is a real charmer with all the amenities. We have stayed there a few times and always try to book it when staying in Santa Cruz, The view is wonderful from the front deck. The property is very clean and well taken care of. It is located in a quiet neighborhood. You can climb down the hill at the end of the dead end street and play on the sand. The beds are comfortable and there is plenty of room. It is a great place for a winter get away in bad weather because the living room and fireplace are very cozy. I have recommended this property to others. The owners are very helpful and user friendly compared to some nightmare experiences thsat we have had with property managers. Enjoy! If you get a chance wat at Cafe Cruz on Soquel---wonderful!

I booked the house for a week with my family. It was such a nice break. We have stayed in Santa Cruz before, but never at a house as nice and kid friendly as this one. The beach is just a few houses down which is very convenient for quick trips back to the house, and there was plenty of space for the full family. We are already planning a trip back for next year.

Our family jsut stayed at this home for the weekend, and it was absolutly perfect. We arrived late afternoon, and we walked 100 feet to the end of the street and all sat down to watch the most glorious sunset. We hadnt been there more than 10 minutes, and already we were arm in arm, sitting on the edge of the ocean and enjoying the beautiful red sky. From there it jsut kept getting better! This home is set up for big family meals with amazing views of the ocean, (loved cooking in the newly remodeled kitchen), walked down to famers market, the kids played endlessly at the beach and wore themselves out. With another family room downstairs, there was plenty of room to spread out. The decor is stunning and really has this warm, inviting, home-feel to it. None of us wanted to leave, and we hope to come back and stay again very soon.

Eight of us stayed at this wonderful house for three nights. Time passes quickly when lounging on the beautiful patio that overlooks the ocean from a distance. What really made this a great rental were the owners' tremendous attention to detail in providing everything you can imagine (sheets, blankets, towels, stocked kitchen supplies, internet, games, etc.). The communication process was managed flawlessly. This is an excellent place in a perfect location that we highly recommend.

My daughter got married last weekend in Santa Cruz and we stayed at this wonderful house. It was fully stocked with sheets, pillows, kitchen equipment, etc. You only have to get your own food. The deck was great to sit and talk and watch the ocean. Very clean and good size. Very kid friendly, toys, pack and play etc. The only negative was that I thought sandy beach was on same street but you can't get to beach without climbing over alot of rocks. I would definitely come back again.
Owner response:The following clarifies how you can access the beach from our property. There is easy access without climbing over rocks by walking one short block to the sand. (This walk is about the length of a football field.) For those who can handle the boulders, there is direct access five doors from our house.

My family needed a place to gather that was easily accessible from airports and bay area driving locations. Beach was perfect for all with great surfing close by. The "young people" could surf each morning at Pleasure Point while grandma babysat. Perfect house for very young children, safe and fun ! Outstanding views from the deck and 4 out of 5 days were sunny. House was very clean, well-maintained and well-eqipped. Everyone loved it from ages 9 months to 68 years.
