About this property

Our Pleasure Point beach house is conveniently located halfway between the famous Santa Cruz boardwalk and the quaint village of Capitola. We are located three blocks from the ocean cliffs, with access to some of the best surfing and more private beaches in Santa Cruz. We are also a short walk to the cafes, restaurants, and surf shops on 41st Ave. Relax in our sunny and very private backyard. Enjoy the Adirondack chairs, outdoor shower, outdoor gas grill, dining on the patio, and soaking in the 6-person hot tub.

We continually refurbish our beach house inside and out, while keeping its original bungalow charm. We have top of the line appliances (LG fridge, front loader washer/dryer), an indoor/outdoor Bose stereo system, and we have high speed internet, local HDTV, and Netflix. There is room for 4 people to sleep on beds, and in addition, we have space for 1 adult on the couch, portable crib, and an aero bed. Our home is super family and kid friendly, and equipped with a lot of what you would want for a family vacation at the beach such as cruiser bikes, kids bikes, helmets, a red wagon, boogie boards, beginner surf boards, beach chairs/umbrella, plus hammock in the backyard.

Pleasure Point is our favorite place on the California Central Coast to enjoy the beach and the beautiful surrounding areas, from redwood forests to wine country. We look forward to sharing our beach house with you!

Great thanksgiving stay!

The house is beautiful in a great location in Pleasure point neighborhood! It has everything you could want for entertaining: hot tub, gas grill, Traeger smoker, fireplace, great living room, outdoor dining. Open space fenced in is perfect for dogs. The pictures are accurate, but it’s better in person. Owner was extremely kind and responsive. Thank you for an amazing stay, it’s one my family will remember!

Great location and yard

I stayed here with my 20 year old daughter for a week while we moved her into an apartment downtown. We came from across country and after a long travel day did not enjoy having to track down the property manager for the door code, which we got after the 3:00 check in time. This is u professional. A couple of things about the home: all of the windows were unlocked when we arrived. Additionally the door from the master to the backyard was broken. It did not lock and the indoor handle fell completely off when touched. Both of these things made me question the safety. Finally, there was an ant problem in the bathroom- luckily owner had ant spray available which I used several times. There were cobwebs in corners inside - made me wonder how clean it was. The home is old and while everything works, some areas are in clear need of replacing. With that out of the way, lots of good too! House felt spacious and beds were comfy. Awesome to have driveway parking! The yard is amazing. I have stayed in Santa Cruz several times and this house by far has the most “amenities”. The hot tub was clean and spacious. There were loads of bikes and boards. Nice clean laundry room with full sized appliances. Great water pressure in shower. Location cannot be beat. Super quiet and private due to the thoughtful fencing and landscaping. While I loved the location and yard, I likely would not stay here again. Solid communication and property ate a must for me.

Perfect family getaway

We instantly felt at home and relaxed when we got to Camp Oso! Great location and stocked with everything we needed. We are a family of 5 and there was plenty of room to spread out. The hot tub was lovely and super clean. The hammock and porch swing added to the relaxed vibe and the lawn games were great for some family fun. Nightly walks with our dog along the cliffs was a highlight along with surfing down in Capitola. Some of our favorite restaurants were in walking distance and shopping is always fantastic along 41st street. We can’t wait to come back to Camp Oso!

Pleasure Point perfection

Location, location, location! This great little beach shack is located within easy walking distance of East Cliff walkway, beaches, surfing, coffee, food, shops, fitness and more. We loved being able to get to everything by foot or by the bikes provided on site. The beach house is small, charming and homey. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and clean hot tub. Any questions we had were quickly and patiently answered. We hope to retire to the beach life someday and this gave us a perfect taste of what that would be like. And yes, it was perfection!

About the host

Hosted by Carol

I purchased this as a second home in 2003 because I loved coming down to Santa Cruz on the weekends to surf and hang out with family and friends. I've refinished my 1948 house inside and out while keeping the original charm, like the original cedar floors, hand scalloped beams, and Wedgewood stove.

Why they chose this property

Our house is close to some of the best beaches for surfing, fishing, jogging, and playing with kids and dogs. We are also a short walk to the fun shops and restaurants on 41st Ave, and a short bike ride to Capitola Village, where we like to go for dinner.

Pleasure Point has a unique micro climate that has more sun, and less wind, than Aptos and the town of Santa Cruz. 35th Ave is not a through street and so we have very little car traffic.

What makes this property unique

Our house is exceptionally private and quiet. Our backyard has 10' fences, jasmin and passion flower trellises that block neighbors views. Both the front a backyards are fenced in for safety and there is parking in the driveway for two cars. We have a dog friendly front and backyard with top quality artificial turf.

We enjoying dining on outdoor patio, while listening to music on the indoor/outdoor sound system, and cooking on the gas grill. There is a restaurant grade gas heater above the patio table to keep you cozy on a chilly night. Our friends love the 6-seat hot tub, hammock, and large outdoor shower.
