Owner's Map of La Selva Beach
We have always loved the ocean and feel fortunate to have found this wonderful getaway in La Selva Beach. When on the deck enjoying the beautiful view whether morning or evening, you can also hear the seals barking in the distance. A path through the park that leads to the ocean offers lots of wildlife viewing, wild flowers, and just time to reflect. We have put lots of love and care into decorating our home to make it comfortable and easy living, We look forward to sharing our home as well as enjoying it ourselves.

Great property and location
Guest: Jacob

Date of Stay: 01/12/12
Review Submitted: 01/23/12
We spent four nights here a few weekends ago - great weather and location, and very accessible to the tourist areas of Santa Cruz while still maintaining a rural feel. Beach was only a five minute walk, and the pool and hot tub were great. Unit was spacious with nearly every amenity you could imagine. Would highly recommend this to anybody vacationing in and around Santa Cruz as an alternative to the busier tourist hotels

Incredible getaway with beautiful views!

My husband and I recently stayed at this vacation rental with family and friends and were wowed by it's beautiful views, lovely decor, quiet location, and spacious layout. There were a total of five of us staying at the townhouse, and I feel that we had more than ample space for our numbers. All of the rooms were very tastefully furnished with gorgeous (and comfortable!) furniture, and all rooms were extremely clean. We thoroughly enjoyed the view of the ocean from the deck while sipping our coffee in the morning and loved the fact that we could walk five minutes down a path to get to the beach! This place had all the bells and whistles- a large selection of dishes to use, top of the line appliances, a flat-screen TV, washer and drier, and even a pool table and foosball table! Perfect place for a family or group of friends to hang out for a week or weekend. Nearby Capitola and Santa Cruz (10-15 minute drive) provided us with a wide variety of charming shops and restaurants to visit, and the neighborhood itself offered a pool, hot tub, and tennis courts that were all top-notch. I would recommend this place to anybody looking for a beautiful, relaxing spot to vacation!

We spent New Year's weekend with 9 people staying at the house. Lot's of room and privacy was not a concern. Long walks on the beach and a cozy fireplace were a great combination. On a rainy afternoon we took the drive to Monterey and visited the aquarium. It's less that an hours drive. We'll definately plan a return trip.

We just had a wonderful New Year Eve / Roomies Reunion weekend at the Blue Dolphin condo. When we walked in we were so surprised that this rental was well appointed, clean and everything worked. Usually rentals have someones old leftover furniture and what looks like a collection of plates and silver from Goodwill but not here. The kitchen was new with a spacious fridge to handle all the goodies that eight people brought, good cookware and a great view from the kitchen/breakfast nook area. (Living room too!) There's even a great 50" flat screen and stereo, not to mention the pool table and foosball table. The owners must really care about this place as there were helpful labels on lightswitches and other places so we didn't feel we were bumbling around trying to figure out things. The walk down to the beach was only a couple of minutes through the condo developement and down a long flight of steps but it was so great to just wander along in the sand at the ocean it became only a small part of the adventure. Sleeping in our master suite (the second one) was no problem. It was a great comfy bed with soft sheets that almost felt like flannel and there were plenty of blankets for the cold coast nights. We will definitely be back.

Weekend getaway - Sunsets,Pelicans and walks on the beach

Our stay at the Blue Dolphin was most pleasant. The accommodations were very comfortable in the second master suite downstairs. We had our own bathroom with double sinks and a whirlpool tub. The kitchen and living room had everything to make our stay most enjoyable. A large flat screen TV with satellite hook up. A very comfortable couch and chair. A breakfast nook with a view of the ocean. During the day we took long walks on the beach which was within easy access by a variety of different paths. When we returned we could still enjoy the lovely weather from the spacious deck. It too has a wonderfully unobstructed view of the ocean and the sunset. At night our accommodations at the Blue Dolphin were soothingly calm and quiet, so drifting off to sleep was no problem after a day of fun in the sun on the beach and on the deck. We look forward to staying at the Blue Dolphin in the near future.

I have stayed at this lovely home before and as always I am impressed with how beautifully maintained this rental home is: the pictures here only show a fraction of this spectacular property! I love how close the beach is, and the proximity to Moss Landing and downtown Santa Cruz is perfect. I highly recommend watching the sunset over the ocean from the balcony, as well as enjoying a few games of pool in the garage. And as always Lynda was a pleasure to work with, and I appreciated the clear labels indicating how to keep everything organized. Needless to say I'm looking forward to booking another stay here very soon!

Beautiful and peaceful getaway

This home was beautiful and true to the descriptions listed. It suited our party of 10 (all adults) comfortably. We loved the fact that the location was quiet and peaceful, rather easy to access, and within a short walking distance to an uncrowded beach. We enjoyed exploring Monterey Bay, Caramel by the Sea and Pebble Beach. The owners were very helpful and sensitive to our needs. This was the perfect place to for us to spend a few precious days together as a family before our father's failing health wouldn't allow him to travel any more. The memories we made at the Blue Dolphin will always be cherished! Thank you!
