The greatest place to spend the 4th of July!!
This 2-story, 3000sq ft home sits directly across from one of the best beaches in Santa Cruz - Seabright Beach. Full-length windows overlook the beach and Santa Cruz Pier. You can watch the sunset while barbecuing on the spacious balcony or lie in bed listening to the waves. Our home offers an exciting yet relaxing atmosphere that is unmatched by other beach rentals.
Seabright State Beach, known to locals as Castle Beach, is a south-facing beach with the reputation of being the warmest, sunniest beach on the Monterey Bay. Great for families, this State Beach has restrooms, lifeguards*, and since our home sits at Castle’s main entrance, there are no stairs or cliffs to negotiate. Enjoy roasting marshmallows on one of the only beaches that allows bonfires. Plus because of limited beach parking, traffic is much lighter here compared to other popular beaches. Seabright Beach lies between the Santa Cruz Harbor where charter boats, Hobbies and kayaks can be rented for the day, and famed Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, home of the Giant Dipper roller coaster.
The Seabright area is one of the most desirable neighborhoods in Santa Cruz. Centrally located, you are only a short walk from coffee shops, delis and great restaurants. Even with small kids you can walk to the Harbor and the Boardwalk! The Beach Boardwalk has rides and attractions for all ages and there are several theaters, the downtown shopping district, and activities such as concerts, roller skating, bowling, laser tag, climbing, hiking, biking and much more just minutes away.
Our home offers 4+ bedrooms/3.5 baths, including 2 master bedrooms with inviting beach views. There are beds for up to 16 people as well as other attractive features:
- Upstairs, the spacious living room features an entire wall of full-length windows and sliding glass doors. They connect to the balcony and provide spectacular beach views.
