Santa Cruz Beachfront Vacation Rental

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (146)
"Beautiful stay any time of the year. We saw a lot of marine life this time at Pleasure Point- otters, sea lions, harbor seals, flocks of birds and couldn’t discern if they were dolphins or sharks feeding! We were efficiently assisted with a few needs (more TP, dishwasher soap, fireplace lighter/directions.)Close proximity to Capitola and beach/boardwalk is always fun.Bedroom size/location for a friend vs family stay is the only challenge, which we solve by taking turns."

"We had a lovely stay with our family. The home was perfect for 5 of us. There was some road noise from the highway but that was to be expected. The balcony/patio area and spa could have been a little more cleaned up prior to our stay but overall it was a wonderful visit and its proximity to amazing hikes in The Redwoods was just what we were hoping for.
