About this property

Oceanfront West Cliff Family Home, quiet neighborhood, walk to Boardwalk

Enjoy your next getaway with a visit to our newly remodeled Santa Cruz home. This home has unbeatable views of the Monterey Bay. Sip coffee at sunrise on the large front porch, watching the pelicans soar. You might spot whales or the surfing otters from the living room and kitchen, or while playing a game of bocce on the court in the front yard.

This 4 bedroom, 3 bathroom home captures Santa Cruz charm with little details honoring the local culture. This home sleeps up to 10 comfortably. The Master Bedroom has a Queen bed, and an ensuite bathroom. The 2nd and 3rd bedrooms have Queen beds. The 4th bedroom is a large, open studio space with a bunk bed: 2 twin beds below and an upper Full bed. This studio space has a large, cozy couch and big screen TV, a pinball machine, air hockey and foosball. The studio has a large bathroom, and a kitchenette - a perfect space for movie and game nights! The house also has a pull-out full bed and a pull-out twin bed. All 3 bathrooms have large walk-in showers, and amenities to make your stay comfortable.

The main kitchen is large. It's a galley kitchen with a gas stove, dishwasher, double oven, microwave, toaster and coffee machine. The breakfast nook is a cozy space, and the dining room includes a wine fridge to keep those bottles of local California wines chilled for your next meal. The living room hosts large windows for gazing out at the view, and a large TV.

Outside the home you'll find more amenities to enjoy. Relax to the sound of the waves with your family on the front yard patios. Use the private outdoor shower to rinse off the sand and salt. In the backyard, unwind with a soak in the hot tub. Walk across the street for a stroll or bike along the scenic West Cliff Drive.

The house is located in a peaceful neighborhood surrounded by full-time residents. We ask that our guests respect the quiet hours (9pm weeknights, 10pm weekends). Parties which cause a disturbance to the neighbors are not permitted. This house is not available for weddings or events. This house has outdoor security cameras that run 24-hrs, including a Nest doorbell.

This home is perfectly set to enjoy the best of Santa Cruz. You are walking/biking distance to: famed Natural Bridges State Beach, the world famous surf break "Steamer Lane", and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Visit the migrating monarch butterflies at Lighthouse Field and pick up a breakfast burrito at the Steamer Lane Supply coffee stop. You can take it slow or plan your day with local activities.

Even better than expected
Everything about our stay was amazing. House is beautifully done with every convenience and luxury you could want in a vacation house. The location is amazing with easy access to beaches, restaurants, the boardwalk, fishing... Kids loved the game room with pinball, air hockey and foosball. Tons of seating throughout the house to just relax and enjoy. 2 nights wasn't enough!

Beautiful house, great spot
We loved the property and location of the house during our stay. The game room was a hit for the kids and we were excited to see the hot tub but didn’t have time to take advantage of it as we were having so much fun being together. The host was excellent in communicating the check in details and allowed us to check in an hour earlier! We are already planning our trip here again next year!

About the host

Hosted by Amanda Szecsei

Host profile image
Jamie and Francesca Lamb each grew up and lived in different parts of California, and found their home in the Bay Area. Santa Cruz and the Monterey Bay hold a special place in their hearts. Their active family enjoys sports, exploring the tide pools, biking, swimming in the ocean, and watching sunsets.

Our property manager, Amanda Szescei, lives a short bike ride away. She's lived in Santa Cruz, Maui, Palo Alto, and Southern California and can help you with anything you need to know to have a wonderful vacation.

Why they chose this property

There are so many qualities that we admire about this home. We loved the family-friendly atmosphere of this neighborhood. Sitting on the porch in the mornings sipping a cup a coffee and chatting with the neighbors walking by. The home is across the street from the beach, giving this home a feeling like the ocean is your front yard. This neighborhood is walkable, safe, and has many locally-owned businesses close-by.

What makes this property unique

This home is newly remodeled. While modernized, we did our best to keep details of it's Santa Cruz beach house charm. The ocean sunrise and sunset views from the front rooms are breathtaking. Watching the whales and sea otters surf through the waves while making eggs or reading a book is an experience you can't beat. The studio space/ game room in the back of the house provide entertainment after the sun goes down.
We enjoy spending our spare weekends here, and we're happy to share this experience with you.
