About the host

Hosted by Karri & Family

Host profile image
We enjoy hosting couples and families at this house. When you book, please share your interests so we can create a customized arrival package for you. Many of our guests are families with two or three generations traveling together, and others are just couples. We've met so many wonderful people over the years, and are happy to share this special home with others. We look forward to hosting your stay at this oceanfront home at the beach in Santa Cruz!

Why they chose this property

We like the west side of Santa Cruz - it's friendly to people and dogs, with easily accessible beaches, coastal sidewalk, and forever views. We especially like the feeling of being on the ocean, the gentle breezes, and ocean sounds - especially during the wintertime. Storms can be magical at the coast. Fall is also a wonderful experience with little-to-no morning fog and sunshine early in the day.

What makes this property unique

We enjoy watching people walk their dogs, ride bikes, roller skate, jog, and skateboard along West Cliff Drive. The ocean views from the living room, kitchen, dining room, breakfast area, and even the backyard are wonderful. We also enjoy strolling along the paved ocean walkway to the Lighthouse Surfing Museum to watch the surfers, and beyond to enjoy the Santa Cruz Pier and Beach Boardwalk. This beach house is centrally located, and is great for people of all ages.
