Year Purchased: 1993
Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz
As anyone in the greater bay area can tell you, Santa Cruz offers the warmest and family friendly beaches in northern California with world class surfing and the Santa Cruz Boardwalk - one of the last seaside amusement parks left in the US. Santa Cruz is a wonderful place for young and old.
The Unique Benefits at this House
We love taking afternoon naps while listening to the ocean, birds, and sea lions. We love the sunlight from the many skylights and windows and the ocean views from decks at day and stars at night. We love the walks on the beach and around the neighborhood checking out the many flower gardens. We love eating lunch on the second story deck and having a glass of wine at sunset.
A ten minute walk from the house brings you to one of the last beach side amusement parks in California designed for thrill-seekers of all ages, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Don’t miss the 1924 Gia

Owner's Map of Santa Cruz
Back in the early 1990s when we visited friends in Santa Cruz, we fell in love with the town and it's natural beauty. In 1993 we purchased our Mott Avenue home and spent many weekends there. The house was fully remodeled by 2000 and new hardwood floors other upgrades and new carpet was added in 2009. New refrigerator, dishwasher and King bed was added in December 2011. Recently we purchased another home about a mile away where we now live and Mott Ave has become a full time vacation rental.

We stayed at this rental for four nights in January 2008. We have rented several properties before including some in Santa Cruz and we thought this one was great. It is beautifully decorated and extremely comfortable (great beds!) and very clean. We loved the view from the deck and the kids loved to sit watching the ocean from the breakfast nook. The owners were very accomodating and helpful. Hopefully we will manage to visit the area again soon and if so we will definitely be in touch.

We love your house!!!! I brought my parents here for a Christmas Present and am so glad I did. Our original plan was just to stay until Sunday, but we were having such a great time and enjoyed the house so much we extended our stay another night. The weather was great and we enjoyed hanging out on the patio. Love that fact that we are so close to everything. Thank you so much for letting us stay in your awesome home for our mini vacation! We hope to be back soon and definitely recommend your home to our family and friends! Thanks again! Dawn, Sacramento, CA

THANK YOU! We had just a phenomenal time at your home. We can't wait to rent it again. The proximity to the beach was perfect. We thought we'd be a bit further back...being that close was such a treat! Mostly, we enjoyed the rooftop deck. We were on it every morning and evening...and it was perfect for watching the meteor showers on Wednesday evening...we had the kids out there until 12:30am watching... Funny note, on the day we arrived, our kids (ages 9 and 6) ran upstairs and our youngest yells out "there is a huge tv!!) we were so comfortable in your home! Thanks again so much! We brought home great memories. Kristin, Novato, CA

LOVE THIS HOUSE" "We just spent a week in this house..it was FANTASTIC! can't say enough about this place. It really is about 100 steps walk down the street to the entrace to Seabright Beach. The home is kept up incredibly well. We enjoyed the rooftop deck every morning for coffee and every early evening for cocktails. We even had the best place to watch meteor showers one night. We would rent this home again in a heartbeat..it's such a great deal!! There are great restaurants walking distance and you can walk to the Boardwalk in about 10 minutes. Our kids loved the home as well, and we had plentyof room for visitors. The neighbood is very quiet at night and the homes in the neighborhood are all kept up so well and manicured..This is a true treasure of a vacation home!"

WOW!!!!!! What a great house, great location, only a short!! walk from the beach. The house has all the ammenities and more. Very comfortable. Would strongly recommend renting this property for a relaxing vacation. Close to downtown, shopping, Wharf. The house is stocked with everything you could possibly need. Even has beach accessories, i.e. umbrella, towells, chairs, cooler. We will definately be back. Denny and Bob, thanks for sharing your home.

We arrived with 3 adults and 2 small children at the vacation home and found it just as it was shown on the pictures. The place is very organized, well decorated and offers a nearly perfect location right by the seabright beach entrance and walking distance to the boardwalk and harbor. The garage was a real plus as we didn't have to deal with any parking. The hot tub was fun after a long weekend on the beach and boardwalk and the spacious walk in shower with the rain nozzle felt so good when rinsing off all the sand. We stayed in February and had perfect whether. We were able to do some bon fires on the beach, which is just a half minute walk down the street. The patio was also great for listening to some relaxing ocean sounds. And in the evening, all the dimmer and ceiling lights provided some real cozy ambience. Everything just felt real luxurious and very comfortable. The massage chair was also a great hit. Now we can’t wait to go back in October.
