What a lovely home with wonderful amenities! Truly we had everything we needed and more. The host has thought of all those little things which makes living in someone else’s home so much easier like nightlights and a fully equipped kitchen. And the mattress was the most comfortable I have slept on in a long time. We took a picture of the tag so we can get one for ourselves.

What a lovely listing, we were so happy, comfy and cozy. The hot tub was ideal. Fantastic location to take in dreamy Pleasure Point and steps to the ocean. We walked at sunrise, sunset, in between, so easy. The airy deck delivered for coffee and meals. Thoughtfully appointed. Super comfy beds and pillows, we slept great. Bring an eye mask as the downstairs bedroom has some light leaks. I really appreciated that the bed linens and towels are washed on site in fragrance free detergent. Easy check in and easy parking. 100% recommend.
Short family stay. We used bikes, surf boards, hot tub and walked to beach. Well appointed kitchen with everything you need. Comfortable beds. Accurate listing. Would stay again.
We (four adults, two little ones) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious and suited our needs perfectly. The location couldn't be beat, either!
Best trip ever! We loved this house and used every cool thing in the garage every day - bikes, surf boards, wet suits and more. Perfect! Thanks so much!!
This beach house was perfect for our family and so conveniently located to great beaches, biking, farmer's market, people and surfer watching. We loved dining on the deck! The hot tub is a very nice perk too.
Wonderful visit to Santa Cruz at Steve's house. The house is in a perfect location, it has everything you will need for a wonderful stay. The cruisers are perfect for riding to the beach or boardwalk. Will definitely return!
The property was just as described and we had a very pleasant long weekend. It was a very short walk to two different beaches, we used the cruiser bikes to cruise over to the boardwalk, and enjoyed the spacious and clean living/dining area.
We lived in this neighborhood for 10 years and it's so special to be able to come back and this place is the perfect way to do so. This is our 2nd visit and we'll be back for sure!
We had a great stay and surfed every day. The house is very well equipped for beach activities and for cooking. Great family time!

About the host
Hosted by Steve Clarence
Steve grew up together in Southern California and missed the beaches and surfing. Thirty years later they found a bit of paradise for our families to enjoy in Pleasure Point which is the banana belt of the Santa Cruz area. We all fell in love with Pleasure Point as it is less than an hour drive from our homes. We love to surf and enjoy the nearby walking path to Capitola and the fun local restaurants.
Why they chose this property
We chose to buy this home because it is everything we wanted and less than an hour's drive from Silicon Valley and Pleasure Point has an amazing Banana belt of nice weather.
When we walk in the door we feel as though we are miles away.
We wanted a home that has easy walking access to beaches, shops and restaurants.
There is so much to do in this beautiful area including: the amusement park, Capitola Village, UC Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz wineries, Elkhorn Slough for kyaking with sea otters, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Annie Glass outlet, bike riding, fishing, birding, Pacific Grove Mall, whale watching, ...
What makes this property unique
We enjoy walking or biking to shops and restaurants. I like the 30 minute stroll along the coast to Capitola for lunch at my favorite Paradise Beach cafe. We can surf or read on the sunny deck. Bonfires in the soft sand only a half block away.
