Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz
This area is a prime vacation spot in Santa Cruz, next to the best weather beaches (between 1st and 41st ave)in Northern California. When we were researching Windmill generator power for the home, the area between 10-26th ave was unsuitable due to the statistically lowest average wind exposure in the area. The beach is the best in the area in terms of the variety of features and great weather.
The Unique Benefits at this House
The upstairs deck has great ocean and beach views, and close to the beach - the ocean's soothing sounds can be heard all the way back in the outdoor patio.
# Great location for walking, jogging or biking: Park the car, you won't need it!
# Close to restaurants: Just 2 blocks from the Aloha Grill for Hawaiian American. 5 minutes farther up, try the Nueva Grill (Excellent!), or Star Bene (Fine Italian, owned and operated by real Italians!). In the other direction, an easy 15 minute walk brings you to Cole's BBQ, Rosita's, Guang Zho or the Point (Surf and Turf).
# Easy 20 min walk south to Pleasure Point (a big surfing area in Santa Cruz, lots of surfers, photographers, and spectators) or north to the Yacht Harbor. Bike to Capitola or The Beach Boardwalk Amusement Park in less than 20 minutes.
Ideal Location-Great location for walking, jogging or biking. # Close to lots of restaurants: Just 2 blocks from the Aloha Grill for Hawaiian American. 5 minutes farther up, try the Nueva Grill (Exce

Owner's Map of Santa Cruz
We love our bit of paradise at the ocean. We have 2 dogs and love to travel with them, so the dog-friendly beach here is perfect for those who do the same! Our family purchased this home in the mid-70's. My wife and I totally remodeled this home in 2009. It was redesigned, basically gutted from the foundation up, everything replaced, re-plumbed, re-wired and rebuilt, adding the second story Master Suite and deck. We love this house - and we are sure you will too! This beach is one of the very best in all of California.

Our extended family enjoyed the perfectly located and exquisitely appointed and maintained home on East Cliff Drive. Our family of 5 adults, 3 children and 1 bichon frise spend one week each summer at the beach in Santa Cruz. Of the places we have stayed over the past 7 years this one is the best maintained and most convenient to the pet friendly beach we have found. The owner is truly invested in making the renters experience a memorable one. Excellent in every respect!!

I can't say enough good things about this vacation home. My family had a wonderful time! The property is welcoming and thoughtful in details. It is immaculate and very well stocked and organized...wonderful kitchen supplies and equipment, numerous items for the beach and a very large selection of movies. They thought of everything. The location is fabulous; right across from the beach. The owner was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. We loved and appreciated the basket of goodies that was there on our arrival! I would definitely recommend this home to my family and friends and hope to visit again soon!

The Nicest House We've Ever Rented
Guest: SuziFitz B.
Date of Stay: 06/11/11
Review Submitted: 06/25/11
We've been using rentals homes instead of hotels for several years now and this house is hands-down the nicest, most comfortable, cleanest, most well equipped house we've ever stayed in! Each person that walked into the house had the same reaction, "Wow! This place is awesome!" We were in town for our youngest son's wedding and were able to relax with and get to know the new in-laws in a homey comfortable atmosphere. Having the room for the whole family to get together to cook, watch TV, go for walks on the beach, read, or just sit and talk, made this stay most memorable. There was a Farmers Market each Sunday within easy walking distance and the house is halfway between Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Capitola which are both walkable (even for short tubby people like me). The owner is friendly, easy to contact, and responds VERY quickly to any questions you might have. For us, the house was WELL WORTH THE PRICE.

Yellow Beach House vacation is a MUST!

Fantastic Beach Rental We can’t say enough good words about the “Yellow Beach House” & the owners. The home is in a very good location--Close to Santa Cruz Boardwalk and marina as well as old town Capitola. Just a short drive to Monterey and Carmel. It is about 4 houses from a beautiful beach. The home has ocean views from the front decks & porch area. It is modern, very well maintained and was extremely clean and organized. It had all the amenities that you want in an “exclusive” beach rental including rear & side patio with chimnea & wood. A laundry room and outside shower (with HOT water) were provided. The kitchen was well equipped & had supplies including coffee, spices, all cooking utensils, dishes, etc. Particularly noteworthy is the quality and condition of the bedding and towels-looked and felt new. Quality shower products were also included. The owners were extremely attentive before arrival & were very prompt to answer all questions. They also left a “goody” basket to welcome us. It does not get better than this!! The owners & home indicate professionalism at every turn. Our total security deposit was returned within a few days of our departure. Thank you to the wonderful owners for a fantastic 4 days in their Yellow Beach House. A return visit is a “must” for our group.

Nicest beach house

Review Submitted: 12/03/10
This is one of the nicest beach houses I've ever rented. These are first-class accommodations, with upgraded appliances, nice tilework and the coolest bathroom fixtures, plus the view from the balcony is pretty nice. But what I like best is having coffee on the back patio on a sunny Santa Cruz day. The location is really convenient to just about anything you'd want or need and the beach is right across the street. I would recommend renting this property anytime you need a house in Santa Cruz. The owners left a basket of goodies from their garden and the peach perserves were delicious.

This is the nicest rental home I've ever stayed in -- and I've been to quite a few. Utter comfort and luxury. Every time you thought, "You know what I could use right now ... ?" you'd turn around and it would be RIGHT THERE! We felt so incredibly welcome and taken care of. Super close to the beautiful beach, and the outdoor shower made it easy to rinse off afterward. Halfway between charming Capitola and the bustling Boardwalk -- cute neighborhood. Owner is very attentive, accessible, kind -- she brought us veggies from her garden. Well-stocked kitchen, comfy beds, big TVs, tons of movies, immaculate bathrooms, amazing jacuzzi tub and shower in master suite. Spacious and lovely. Would stay there again tomorrow.
Owner response:It is so nice to know that our guests appreciated all of the details of our home, felt pampered, comfortable, and had such a wonderful time. It is really rewarding for us when our visitors have a great vacation experience!

I stayed for a weekend with my four daughters at this wonderful and immaculate home. The balcony off the Master bedroom overlooking the ocean (where we enjoyed champagne on our first evening) , the wonderfully appointed kitchen, fabulous terrace with chiminera (which we used) and large grill (which we didn't), extra-comfortable beds and linens, it was perfect for us. We brought food in from nearby restaurants and ate on the terrace instead of eating out as we had planned, we loved the house so. The outdoor shower was spectacular and the top of the line washer and dryer were the largest we had ever seen, perfect when at the beach. Jim and Doretta provided everything to make us happy, such as beach chairs and towels for the short walk to a great, expansive beach. Some of us walked into Santa Cruz center, one biked. At about three miles from center it was close enough to get to easily but far enough away to be blissfully quiet at night. We walked to a farmer's market on Sunday morning, just a few blocks away. We had a truly enchanted weekend. And the ocean, the ocean, the ocean. We all hope to return one day and are happy to recommend it. It is a few weeks since we were there and I am still glowing with the memory. Thank you Doretta and Jim.
Owner response:We love it when people enjoy our property and the location as much as we do. It is our goal to provide a warm and inviting home for our guests to create lasting memories.
