About Bill & Julie Sautter
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 Bill & Julie Sautter chose Central Coast
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.
What makes this house 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 open family-kitchen-great room. Easy and safe beach access down a well maintained wide wooden staircase with railings.

Quaint with an awesome location
The La Sirena House is a perfect Antique. It has the lure and myth of the Mermaid, and this is found all around the theme of the house. The entrance and front of the house are the stuff that fairy tales are made of. The real find is at the top of the house and masked well from the street. This is the huge open deck that looks over the gorgeous beach below.
As with all antiques, handle with care. So this home is a bit fragile in that the majority of windows are obviously historical of nature, and cannot be opened. If this doesn't bother you or make you claustrophobic, then it won't be an issue. It is impossible to get a breeze going at all.
The amenities for the home are lovely, very nice sets of dishes, cups and glassware etc. The cooking ware could use a spiff up, but it was ample.
The furniture is comfy and appropriate for the beach. I particularly liked the master bed, although it is just a double, or small queen, it is dressed in a fancy romantic style and was cozy.
The main bathroom was great and the shower worked well, with ample hot water. Be sure to realize the lack of water pressure in the master bath, and opt for the main tub/shower if you want to feel clean.
If you like a nice old home with quaint touches and want to be right at the beach, this place is for you. I can't see it being great for little kids, with the rather precarious spiral staircase, etc. But perhaps for two couples this would work well and the location to town is great as well.
Santa Cruz is simply amazing so if you stay at La Sirena, I am sure the little things will go by unnoticed.
Enjoy!
Fantastic Family Vacation
I echo all the glowing reviews posted here; we had a marvelous stay at La Sirena! The home is beautifully furnished and decorated - absolutely charming! The kitchen is very well equipped - there was nothing that we needed that wasn’t available. Beds are remarkably comfortable and linens are plentiful. We started each day with coffee on the upper deck, watching the dolphins playfully jump. Absolutely fantastic!! Julie and Bill are gracious, accommodating, and responsive hosts/owners. We highly recommend this VRBO.
A charming, comfortable home, just a few doors from the ocean
La Sirena is a charming Victorian home with a wonderful view of the Pacific. The home is well-stocked, the furnishings are comfortable and the mermaid theme makes you smile. The family room has a large window which allows you to watch the weather roll in on the bay. The rooftop deck is a great place to look at the stars and out over the ocean, with the soothing sound of the waves crashing nearby.
The close proximity of the beach allowed for quick and multiple trips to the pleasant, sand beach and the 57 degree water temperature was not cold enough to deter wet-suited family members.
The owners, Bill and Julie, were extremely helpful, and very accommodating on arrival and departure times.
Santa Cruz is a fun town, with lots to explore and do, and the location of the home is very convenient to both SC and Capitola.
Our extended family of six adults and four young children enjoyed both the home and the surroundings.
Not having packed our own, if I could add one thing to the home it would be a pair of binoculars to take advantage of the great view!
I would definitely recommend this home.
Great Family Vacation
The rental property was terrific. Very well kept and the owners are very organized regarding the house and offering things to do. The beach is about 50 feet away and their is path right to it. Very accessible. We have an 8,10,12 year old and the water was perfect for their size for boogy boarding...and me as well. Santa Cruz offers a multitude of things to do and the house is very centrally located. If you don't like to stay in one spot and move from beach to beach, this is a great location. The town of Santa Cruz is a little dated...it kind of took us back to 1980. Overall, a must visit if you like beautiful views and the ocean.
Greg
The location is incredible! Great beach and very private. Close to all things Santa Cruz!
A lovely spot to enjoy the coast
We rented the house for a family retreat and had a wonderful time. The steps-from-beach location is superb and the house is very comfortable and well appointed. Owners are organized, responsive and helpful. Watching porpoises from the top deck is great relaxing fun, while the beach itself is easy to access and very pleasant. The gas BBQ worked great for making tasty outdoor meals, and we much enjoyed the nearby Sunday Farmer's Market.
Map
La Sirena is in the perfect spot. Steps away from Santa Cruz's sunniest beaches, this treasure is centrally located between charming Capitola Village and the historic and exciting Beach Boardwalk of Santa Cruz.
