                            Right at a popular coastline destination that is amazing to explore by walking, biking, and just hanging out. The tide pools are beautiful, and expect to see otters, sea lions, dolphins and lots of birds. If you're looking for water sports, skim boarding, surfing, stand-up paddling and kayaking are very popular here - all happening within a short walk. Drive just 10 minutes to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Dare to ride the Giant Dipper, the famous wooden roller coaster, or the recently updated haunted house. The house is a great base to explore Capitola, the coastal redwoods, and the full zaniness of Santa Cruz. Municipal Wharf is a must see for legendary Stagnaro's seafood, views of the entire bay, whale watching tours, fishing, and enjoying world-famous Marini's salt water taffy. ...morecollapse

                            Party of 4 adults and 2 kids. Great location and clean, well stocked, dog-friendly home. One block to the beach and surfing. Surf school 3 blocks away. Board games galore (Apples to Apples is my daughters' new favorite game). Even a library for kids. Hot tub was great. My 6 and 9 year old had more than enough things to keep from being bored. The house itself has a very efficient layout so it feels bigger than it really is. Convenient grocery store/market 1 block away that also served breakfast and lunch. Pretty good food choices within a 15 min walk. Neighborhood is quiet and everyone was friendly. Would highly recommend contacting Jewlia and scheduling a stay.

                            Recommended for: Sightseeing, tourists without a car, age 55+, families with teenagers, pet owners, families with young children, girls getaway.

                            Owner response: Regan, We are so happy to know your family enjoyed the Sand Dollar. We totally adore this home. The owners take such great care of everything. It is a pleasure to have such wonderful guests. Thank you so much.

                          About the owner: We live and work in the SF Bay Area and have teenage daughters. We are outdoors and beach people and always have pets. This home is a great getaway for us and we have had a great time here with our family and friends.

                          Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz:
                          We love being right at Pleasure Point because the coastline is gorgeous, there's always something happening at the coastal parks and beaches, and the locals are so friendly. We have family and friends connections from this area that go back decades.

                          The Unique Benefits at this House:
                          We love bringing friends and family, hanging out at the house, taking out the bikes, surfing, and taking walks along the point and tide-pooling. Lots of great restaurants nearby - every time we get a new favorite we tuck the menu into the house information binder. Some of the best fresh-roasted coffee on this planet is available at Verve on 41st - they roast it right there. We love the local Point Market and Cafe around the corner - a classic beach hangout right by the ocean. Good food and friendly people. You'll see when you stay, the Sand Dollar is our family beach home. It's not just a house that we're renting out. The dining table belonged to grandparents, and games and books from our kids growing up.
