About the host

Hosted by Glenn Aby

Host profile image
As a child we would get in the station wagon and head to Santa Cruz. We loved those trips. When I met the woman I wanted to marry we often went to the beach, and enjoyed it together. We liked it so much we made it part of our wedding weekend and invited the guests to a bonfire at the beach near this home. Our family has made the drive over the hill numerous times to spend many special days at the beach.

Why they chose this property

We looked for almost a year to find a beach house that met all our desires. We now know Santa Cruz neighborhoods well. The neighborhood is great and everything is so close. It does one's soul good to come to Santa Cruz.

What makes this property unique

If you have an electric car we have a 240 volt charger. The charger has a J1772 connection.
