Staying at this perfectly situated and appointed, and lovingly cared for home, is simply a slice of heaven. This was our third stay and has now become an absolute family favorite. It offers an easily accessible respite from the hectic pace of silicon valley, with only a short drive in order to enjoy. The home is carefully supplied with everything you need for a comfortable stay, and the location cannot be beat. The hosts are easy to communicate with and amenable to your needs. Can't say enough about this special place, and can't wait to return!

Santa Cruz vacation

This house is ideally located near a beach in Santa Cruz. We enjoyed watching the waves role in from the upstairs bedroom. Seeing the lights across the bay in Monterey at night was awesome. The hosts were very kind and very responsive to our questions. We've stayed in other houses in Santa Cruz, and this is by far the best.

Location, location, location! We have been staying at the beach cottage for 8 years. If I had to pick my favorite feature of the house it would be the front deck where you can sit, read a book, have a glass of wine, talk to the people walking by and watch the beach—it’s where we venture to first thing in the morning, coffee in hand. Second, would be the living room with large comfy sofa and table for playing games. Our grandkids love their space downstairs which is a win win for all of us (no toys on the main level!). The kitchen is well equipped and the cottage is within walking distance of several great restaurants and Deke’s store. The only downside of our trip this year was the closure of the Murray Street bridge—getting to our east side favorites requires patience! Hopefully next year we will be able to walk across the bridge again to the lighthouse and Seabright beach.

Great Stay!

We really enjoyed our visit. The bedrooms and amenities were all as described and we were able to sleep comfortably. We did find instances of things not being thoroughly cleaned. For example, when we lifted couch cushons off the couch, there were crumbs underneath, the kitchen table was a little sticky, and the floor in the downstairs bathroom was also a little sticky. Still, overall our trip was quite enjoyable. Thank you!

About the host

Hosted by Marie Lore

Host profile image
We love our beach house and are excited about sharing it with others. We hope they enjoy it as much as we have. We have been married for over 50 yrs. and have 3 married children and 7 grandchildren. Rick has been in the construction business for most of his life and I recently retired as real estate agent for Alain Pinel Realtors in Saratoga. We live in Los Gatos, a short trip over the hill from Santa Cruz.

Why they chose this property

We bought this home many years ago as a rental for college students. We always hoped we would be able to rebuild it for ourselves in the future. It was a great dream come true when we completed the remodel.

What makes this property unique

We love that we can walk everywhere from this home. The popular Twin Lakes beach is just a short block away. Bon fires light up the beach in the evening, sail boat races can be viewed from our deck, and lively beach volley ball games are a common occurrence. Don't miss the ukelele concert on Saturday mornings in front of the Java Junction. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance. We especially enjoy the Crows Nest upstairs on Weds. night when the sail boat races are taking place. Johnnie's Harborside, the Java Junction, El Palomar, and Lago di Coma are also favorites of ours. Deke's market on 7th Ave. is a great place for sandwiches and various grocery sundries. There are public tennis courts and a great kids park a few minutes away on 7th Ave. We also enjoy walking and riding bikes on the harbor road where the sea otters, seals, and pelicans are always entertaining. The Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk is a 5-minute drive away with the famous wooden roller coaster and many other thrilling rides for all ages. A 18-hole minature golf course at the boardwalk is also a good way to spend an afternoon. Downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola nearby offer unique shopping opportunities, movie theaters, and other excellent restaurants.
