Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz
We are a family of 4 & 5th generation Californian with roots in Santa Cruz. After living in the Bay Area and coming down for regular visits we stumbled onto our dream home on 26th Ave.
We all take apart in some way to help with the house because well all love it so.
We hope you do, too !
Popular with locals, less know by outsiders. Dog freindly yet clean for family fun. Great surfing, boogie & wake boarding (contest is held here), kite surfing & more. Yet just a hop, skip & jump away.

Great Beach Property with lots of room

This property was fantastic for our stay with a team of 11 people! Lot's of room with space for large groups to gather as well as private bedrooms to get away for some quiet time. Excellent off street parking with garage space as well as private gated parking for several vehicles. Property was very clean and had very nice linens and ample towels in all of the three bathrooms. Kitchen was very well equiped for cooking meals and plenty of dishware for large groups. Amazing balcony space for hanging out and enjoying the wonderful views of the ocean. Close to several local coffee houses and fun dinning experience. Would highly recommend this property for family gatherings!

Nice property, unfortunate experiences with owner

The physical aspects of this property were mostly satisfactory. It has lots of room, and is very close to the stairs that descend to the beach (you can see the ocean, but you can not see the waves or beach from the property). The surrounding neighborhood is pleasant and quiet and close to numerous amenities. The enclosed parking was nice. The garage and outdoor shower were useful. The furnishings and decor of the house ranged from nice to a little shabby (the kitchen and bathrooms were showing there age a bit). My experience with the owner was not positive. When we arrived for our 4 day family reunion, we were surprised to learn that the house had not been cleaned. The owner arranged for a cleaner to come, but it was a considerable inconvenience to our group (including 4 children under 6). After discussing our frustration with the owner, she agreed to refund our rental fee for that first night. When I arrived home after the weekend, her check had already arrived. I deposited the check, but the next day she called to say that the check would bounce and that she would send another check as soon as possible. The refund check did bounce, but she never sent another check and has ignored my repeated attempts to contact her. I never received the refund I was promised. I would not recommend this property to friends and family, due to my unsatisfactory experiences with the owner.

All I can say is "WOW" We (16 of us ranging in age from 4 months old to 62 years old) enjoyed 4 nights in this wonderful home. We felt so priviliged to be able to stay here, we could relax around the house and still enjoy the view of the ocean, and the sound of the waves. We saw dolphins and a whale from the Deck, along with beautiful sunsets. Then we could walk 1 house down and be at the beach, and enjoy it up close. I appreciated the outside shower, and my husband and granddaughter enjoyed the hot tub daily. It also worked out well with the reverse floor plan, as the younger members of our group had the downstairs and they could stay up later and the kids could run around without disturbing the more mature adults that went to sleep earlier. I would without a doubt recommend this house to anyone that is looking for a place to stay where everyone could do whatever they want to do, go to beach, bicycle to the Boardwalk and Wharf, relax around the house. Thank you so much for allowing us to rent this property.

26th Ave. is a great location. As described, it is more a "local" beach and sitting on the deck with coffee it was nice to watch the surfers going down for their morning dip. It was clean and very well equiped including crockpot and coffee grinder. The bikes were a great addition as well as ALL the beach equipment. Thanks, Jean we had a fantastic weekend!

This house was all that was advertised and more. It was nice, but not so nice that you felt uncomfortable settling in and clean. There were twin beds in the 2,3,&4th bedrooms, much more comfortable than the usual queen beds. The kitchen was more than generous, with dishes, glassware and utensils for 25+ along with all the necessary pots, pans, electric appliances and serving pieces. The garage was filled with beach toys & boards and bikes. There was parking for 1 car in the garage and 5 on the pad inside the gate. All linens were provided, along with soaps (dish washing, dishwasher, laundry, & bath) and paper goods. The only downer-- a cold and not clean hot tub but we enjoyed the gas fireplace instead. The house is located in a quiet residential neighborhood and you need a car to get to the sights & sites of Santa Cruz but the waves are only 50' away. This house was perfect for the weekend away. We were lucky to have found this gem! Enjoy

We just spent a fabulous long weekend at this property. The floor plan is just perfect to take advantage of the breathtaking views. All the amenities made it so much more comfortable.You will find everything you need for the seashore, bikes and a hot tub.Just steps to a wonderful beach where we spent time surfing, boogie boarding and just watching the sea otters and sea lions frolic.Extremely comfortable bedding and luxurious towels. Convenient Washer/dryer and the kitchen was fully loaded with equipment that made it a pleasure to cook (if you want), great Farmers Market. Or you can walk a couple of blocks to restaurants.Very short ride to downtown.We loved spending time on the deck watching sunset or running on the beach. There is so much to do or just spend time relaxing. The furniture was new and the house very clean. The owners have taken great care to attend to the details. Will most definitely return.
