About the host
Hosted by Cathy Pieratt
Andre has lived in Santa Cruz most of his life and I have lived here since 1987. We enjoy living in this area because there is so much to offer. We go to the beach as often as possible. We also have fun riding our bikes around town to the many wonderful places to see. Water sports are definitely in the mix of our daily lives. Surfing, sailing, outrigger paddling and stand up paddling in Santa Cruz are popular things to do.
Why they chose this property
We built the house for ourselves to live in and lived there for eight years until we grew out of it when our kids needed their own rooms.The house is perfectly set up for small families or a couple. We thought it would be a great vacation house and it has worked out nicely for our guests. Many of them return year after year and it is fun see their families grow.
What makes this property unique
The house is located a block up from one of the best beaches in Santa Cruz. Our neighborhood is unique and close knit. Most of the neighbors know each other and we gather for sunsets almost every night. It is close to stores, restaurants, coffee spots and shopping. Our beach is a popular surf spot when the swell is up. We have many varieties of animal and sea life right off and on the shore. It has a deluxe Dimension One spa, outdoor shower, hammock, beautifully landscaped yard, privacy plantings surrounding the property, bikes and boogie boards, wetsuits and lots of kid sand toys.
