About this property

La Selva Beach House with Ocean Views!

The sweeping views of the entire Monterey Bay and Breathtaking Ocean sunsets await you! The night lights of both Santa Cruz and Monterey are amazing!

Surfing or Fishing anyone? Then bring your board and pole! Manressa Beach is noted for the best waves in the entire Monterey peninsula. It is one of the most popular fishing spots as well. Or take a romantic walk along the beach and collect shells and sand dollars!

We LOVE our neighbors, please respect them and quiet down by 9pm. Of course, no events or gatherings of any kind are allowed at any time.

Great find, right on the beach!
I found this property for a trip I planned for the family. It was absolutely delightful! The only reason why I didn't give it a full 5 star rating was the listing said "pet friendly," and then about 2 week before our check in, we were told the dogs had to stay off the furniture and could not go upstairs. Not having any idea of the layout, this stressed me out and I wished I had known the pet rules before paying for the rental. In hindsight, it is actually not as limiting as I thought it would be. The upstairs is just 1 bedroom, and easy to keep your pets on the downstairs level. And the owners are just trying to keep their house in good condition. :) The rooms were all VERY clean and I just felt like we were in a cute cottage! We arrived at night so we were pleasantly surprised when we woke up and saw the gorgeous views of the ocean! It was spectacular! We walked along the beach every month. I highly recommend this property!

Beautiful and convenient
The views of the ocean were excellent with only a few short steps to a lively and popular sea cliff. The backyard was beautifully planted with an array of different color flowers and a nice deck to enjoy breakfast or a book.

Quick weekend at La Selva
House happened to be available for a quick get away. Owner was great to work with, very responsive. Great location, exactly as close to the water as it looks. Bathrooms and Kitchen are fully functional, but a little dated. Not a detractor, but something to know. We’d go back.

Great view
Great view from the expansive front windows, although you might feel like you're in a fish bowl at times. The house is well equipped and a store within walking distance if you some small littles. Wish the bedroom upstairs had a bathroom or at least a toilet room. The bathrooms on the ground are a little dated but functionable. It is a great location if you like to venture into Santa Cruz and relax on the bluffs in La Selva Beach.

About the host

Your host

Host profile image
This beach house has been in our family for over 30 years. It was originally purchased by our grandmother and our father. We had many family gatherings over the years and made many beautiful memories. Our father spent most his time here making improvements such as new windows, tiling one of the bathrooms and rebuilding the fireplace, complete with a mantel made from one of the old, wooden bleachers from the stadium at Stanford. He was the quarterback back in the early 70's and later became the team doctor as well as an orthopedic surgeon. Our father passed away unexpectedly in 2002, six months later our grandmother passed. The house was then passed down to our aunts and uncles along with us. Eventually becoming ours alone. We both have busy lives, so we decided to open it up to vacationers to allow us to keep the home and continue to go there with our families. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
