About the host
Hosted by Victoria Forshaw
We are an Australian/English family now living in Santa Cruz, California. We are a family of 4 - 2 boys aged 13 and 15 plus our 6 yr old Australian Shepherd "Buddha" and his little sister, "Winter" - a 2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog. The property also has 2 beautiful Dwarf Bunnies which reside in their own Rabbit house at the side of the front door. *The Bunnies will remain on property and be tended by a carer unless you prefer they are removed during your stay. We are from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia although I was born and grew up in United Kingdom. We are beach and mountain people who love the sea, sand and snow. Santa Cruz has so much to offer. Steps from our front door is West Cliff Drive and a walk/bike path takes you passed beaches like the one my family is having fun on in the picture. We have another home in Whistler, British Columbia which we spend most school holidays. We began renting our Santa Cruz home out in 2010. Our house is beautifully decorated and constantly being renovated and decorated (interior design being a Love of mine!), but it is also our home and as such we want you to feel "at home" here. We are big travellers and nearly always stay in VRBO homes and thus I know the importance of having a beautiful place to stay with all the ameneties of your own home!
Why they chose this property
We had travelled to Santa Cruz a few times for work and found it to be a place we could call "home from home" and feel there is a lot of similarities between Sydney and Santa Cruz with so much to do so close to home. If you stand at our front gate and look left you see the Ocean and to the right you look up into the Santa Cruz Hills. There are bike trails and walking trails aplenty. The home is literally minutes away from beaches, boardwalk, town, wineries, restaurants, parks etc. Something for everyone of all ages!
What makes this property unique
We love being so close to the ocean, beaches and great surf spots plus the mountains for hiking and biking with Tahoe just a 4 hour drive away for skiing in Winter and Lakes and biking in Summer. We own another home in Whistler BC, Canada which is just a 2 hour flight away or a 2 day drive!! (our dogs are the reason we drive!!) making Santa Cruz the ideal location for us. Down town Santa Cruz is a fun, interesting, lively town with plenty of shops and cafes and restaurants. We love having the beaches steps away from our house so the kids can boogie board, surf or simply just hang out on the beach with the dogs or friends. The Boardwalk and Funfair is a favorite spot along with great bike paths and trails along the coast and up into the hills. The steam train and Redwoods being a 15 minute drive away. The abundance of great restaurants and wineries are a great bonus for those of us who like to wine and dine. Up the road from our house there are a number of local "Wineries" and "Breweries" with fabulous locally grown wines, beers etc if you fancy a relaxed and friendly atmosphere sampling some great wines and beers produced in Santa Cruz. There is also a french bakery, restaurants and a couple of great little boutiques all just a few blocks away from our house. AND that is if you don't want to go down town to sample the fares on offer down there!! All in all - fabulous location for all ages!
