Peaceful and relexing
The house has lots of personality and the kitchen is modern and well stocked. The homeowners are especially responsive and kind in the communication. We enjoyed proximity to the beach which was fun for surfing and boogie boarding and the walk to Pleasure Point for good, casual food was fun and easy. I would highly recommend this listing.

Old friends retreat
Old Victorian home is charming and cozy. Open all the blinds on arrival for a spectacular view of the ocean. The upper deck was amazing, except for the scary circular staircase. The updated kitchen is well done. Nice dishwasher. Owner, Julie was very helpful and accommodating. An excellent host!

About the host

Hosted by Bill & Julie Sautter

Host profile image
We are native to the bay area and our family has been enjoying Santa Cruz beaches for generations. This is our family beach home, we've enjoyed many years of spending summers raising our children at La Sirena, hosting great get-togethers with family and friends and weekend getaways.

Why they chose this property

It's a perfect home for all ages. We love the proximity to the beach. It's easy to pop down for a nice morning run or walk. Bring the kids down for some beach fun and be able to quickly walk-up to the house for lunch on the rooftop deck while viewing the beach and ocean. Then head back down for some afternoon boogie boarding. No need to pack and haul everything down! It makes it easy to enjoy the best of the beach and the amenities of the house. You also have the advantage of being able to see the beach, size of the waves (should you bring your board?) and weather before you head down to the beach. Also, if you don't want to venture into the sand, you can watch others play, etc... from the deck. Grandparents find this feature especially delightful.

What makes this property unique

La Sirena is the quintessential victorian beach house. It's full of charm you won't find anywhere else, yet offers modern advantages such as the huge ocean-view deck and white water views from the newly renovated open family-kitchen-great room. The floorplan provides privacy while maximizing space. With a living room with TV & fireplace and a separate family/great room, there is plenty of space for everyone to socialize and relax. Each bedroom has direct access to a bathroom--no hallways to navigate. Easy and safe beach access down a well maintained wide wooden staircase with railings.
