About Lynne Clarence
Roger & Steve grew up together in Southern California and missed the beaches and surfing. Thirty years later they found a bit of paradise for our families to enjoy in Pleasure Point which is the banana belt of the Santa Cruz area. We all fell in love with Pleasure Point as it is less than an hour drive from our homes. We love to surf and enjoy the nearby walking path to Capitola and the fun local restaurants.
Lynne Clarence purchased this House in 2011
Why Lynne Clarence chose Santa Cruz
We chose to buy this home because it is everything we wanted and less than an hour's drive from Silicon Valley. When we walk in the door we feel as though we are miles away. We wanted a home that has easy walking access to beaches, shops and restaurants. There is so much to do in this beautiful area including: the amusement park, Capitola Village, UC Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz wineries, Elkhorn Slough for kyaking with sea otters, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Annie Glass outlet, bike riding, fishing, birding, Pacific Grove Mall, whale watching, ...
What makes this House unique
We enjoy walking or biking to shops and restaurants. I like the 30 minute stroll along the coast to Capitola for lunch at my favorite Paradise Beach cafe. We can surf or read on the sunny deck. Bonfires in the sand only a half block away.

AMAZING!!
This was the perfect weekend getaway for my husband's bday. We had 6 adults and a baby stay in the house and had plenty of room to spread out. Everything is in great condition...including the perfectly heated & CLEAN hot tub. This location is great! Just a short walk to several beaches. If you don't feel like walking you can use one of the many beach cruisers to get around.
LOVE LOVE LOVE!! Would definitely book again.
Perfect Vacation Home
You could not ask for a nicer home, better location, or amazing host. Almost everything was provided for you from dishes, to towels, to bikes, to beach stuff, and more. The house was very well cared for and clean. I would recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in the Santa Cruz/Capitola area, and we definitely plan on coming back.
Clean and well equipped with bikes, boogie and aide boards all close to beach.
Loved it! Fit our family well and walk/bike to all Santa Cruz has to offer.
Great place, great location!
The owner was so pleasant to deal with. Quick reaction time and very accomodating. We enjoyed our stay very much.
Great location and house close to the beach and point
We had a great time staying here for a long weekend in Santa Cruz. We loved using the bikes and there were enough for out while family. The kitchen was well equipped and the house was spacious. There were games the kids enjoyed and the second floor outside deck was a great spot to relax. The first floor patio with hot tub was awesome. Would stay here again !
Great location and family friendly!!
Plenty of room to spread out and relax! Close to great quiet beach and 10 min bike ride away from Capitola, shops and restaurants. We appreciated that the house came with wagon, beach chairs, towels and bikes! Carpet could be cleaned or updated but kitchen well stocked and loved the heaters in the bathrooms! Backyard retreat so nice with the Hot tub and shower. Master shower drain needs attention. Overall we would stay again in a heartbeat!Thanks for a wonderful week!!
Thank you so much for this review. We respond to all suggestions. Tomorrow we are addressing your suggestions in the master bath shower and will schedule the carpet cleaning.
We very much appreciate your business and hope to see you again!
THANK YOU!!
Location
Carry your surfboard to the Pleasure Point/26th St. surf or walk to the sandy, family friendly beach, close walking distance to great destinations north and south. Walk the East Cliff bluff to the 41st Avenue cafes, have lunch on the beach in Capitola or bike to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and Santa Cruz Harbor. Bring your walking shoes and flip flops and leave your car behind! Pleasure Point offers the best weather in Santa Cruz.
