Ride a bike through wine country, paddle with the sea otters and sea lions, go whale watching or fishing for salmon or halibut. Ride the roller coasters, catch a wave, touch a 1000 year-old redwood tree, or just walk on the beach. Whatever your favorite activity is, you can likely find it in Santa Cruz.

Excellent property! Very convenient to the beach and downtown Santa Cruz. The house amenities were great - hot tub, beach supplies, game room. We loved staying here! Only downside is that the stove/oven has no numbers on it, so it was hard to cook and try to rely on the oven thermometer for cooking temp.

Location was great - walkable to restaurants and shops on Pacific, and to the Boardwalk. The house is small and the walls are thin, so be prepared to hear your fellow guests. Nice big backyard. We especially loved the hot tub!

This is the perfect spot for exploring Santa Cruz—whether you surf or just want to explore all the town has to offer you are ideally located in this sweet little cottage—little with a HUGE yard. We enjoyed the lovely hot tub. It’s pretty quiet, has parking which is key and has all the comforts of home. Loved it and would return in a heartbeat

This is a cute and small cabana with an excellent location. The backyard is the best part, large with a cute game room and a shed full of many sporting items. Lots of bikes, surfing equipment, beach chairs and more. The cabana itself is a bit tired and could use a little TLC but all in all we enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Paul & Kate Winkler

Host profile image
Our family moved to Santa Cruz years ago looking for a nice place to settle down and raise our daughter. Having lived in the big city for decades (San Francisco and Chicago), we wanted a tightly knit community, with all of the amenities of a big city, and of course a killer location. We couldn't be any happier. Santa Cruz is amazing.

Why they chose this property

We have a child and know how difficult and expensive it can be to travel with kids and the logistics of getting a family to the beach and back with all the required equipment. So, we wanted to provide a family friendly place for people to come and experience all of the great things in Santa Cruz while providing everything you need for a day at the beach and a wagon to stuff it all in for the walk. We are walking distance to Cowell's beach, the Boardwalk, the Wharf, West cliff drive and downtown. We have provided all of the fun amenities that a rental should have for families (bikes, boogie boards, wet suits, beach chairs, hot tub, etc). All of this for the cost of a hotel room with much more to offer.

What makes this property unique

Location, Location, Location! Huge back yard and tons of amenities!
