Location! Location! Location!

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.

Beach Getaway

Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with our family. The stunning views, perfect location, and thoughtful amenities made our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We loved being so close to the beach, walking to get coffee and burritos:) and taking in the views from the back deck and family room. Many sweet memories were shared and we hope to return soon!

Great beach house with a view.

Gorgeous view of the ocean..with a huge deck with many chairs to sit on and relax while watching the waves crash on the beach. Huge bay windows in family room to watch the sunsets while having dinner on a big table that seats 8. The house is seconds away from Santa Cruz and Capitola.

Birthday celebration

My husband and I and my three adult children and their spouses came to celebrate my 65th birthday. This house was perfect size for all of us. We really enjoyed the sunsets, watching whales and hanging on the deck. It had everything we need. We were there for five nights and did have to pick up extra toilet paper and paper towel.

Family vacation

This house was very spacious for our large group, everyone had their own space, the view was beautiful, the beach was so close and Capitola had a lot of good shops and restaurants. The only downside was the weather it was foggy.

Summer Vacation

Our stay was wonderful! The Home had everything that was needed for our stay and was spacious enough for our family of 7 adults and a toddler. It is easy and close to Capitola, The Boardwalk and great restaurants. The walk to the beach is very close and family friendly. The views from the home are spectacular. We could not have asked for a better vacation home.

Perfect central location for day trips to San Francisco and Carmel. Great house for our needs. Could improve on stocking with few more essentials like paper towels, toilet paper and dryer wipes or fabric softener. This is important for a large group staying for a week.

Fantastic beachfront rental

We have been coming to Santa Cruz for 10 years, and this is the best rental yet. A huge deck overlooks the rocks and beach. Sunsets are amazing. the home is very spacious and includes a separate room off of a courtyard. Easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. An easy drive to the boardwalk or downtown Santa Cruz, yet all the privacy you could want.

Pacific Perch

Our family of 4 greatly enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The ocean views from the main living area and primary bedroom are incredible. The home was clean and all the beds were comfortable. We appreciated being able to use the washer and dryers. The furniture/decor is dated but fine for the price point. My only request for improvement would be to leave a few Keurig pods or some ground coffee for the pot for those (like us) that arrive late.

Nice, well appointed ocean front home. Living room furniture was not comfortable. Ant issue and a bad smell in the wall of one of the bedrooms. Other than these issues ,the home is lovely with a fantastic view.

WORTH THE DRIVE

We traveled from Idaho to spend time with our adult children and one grandchild. All of us, from age 67 through age 30 months, had a marvelous time. We had no safety concerns for our little guy, and the adults immensely enjoyed the sounds and view from both the magnificent deck and the fully-glassed living/dining area. The downstairs view is only exceeded by the view we enjoyed from the upstairs bedroom. I could spend an entire day reading and looking and listening from the comfort of the chaise lounge upstairs. Tara was very helpful, the home was well equipped, and certainly we would recommend this property to friends and family.

Right on the water

Nice property, no immediate beach access- though a very small beach was a few houses down. Parking was tight with three cars on busy street. Views and sunsets were breathtaking. Suggest more toilet paper/paper towels. We ran out. Rear stand alone room was musty and friend complained of mildew on light fixtures. Property in general was damp, but it was cold and wet during our whole stay. Beds were comfortable, master suite was very large. We enjoyed our stay. Thanks.

June 2024 rental review

Over all we loved the location and view! However there are some things that needs updating in the house! A new washer and dryer is a must, the set that is there both do not work very well at all! The downstairs bedrooms are very musty and have an ant issue! The master upstairs needs to have the carpet removed, it’s very old and filthy with stains and odor. The mattress needed to be replaced, not comfortable at all. I never received the key code, so we had to contact someone from the property management before we could enter the house! They answered quickly and were able to get in within 10mins.

Right ON THE OCEAN!

I can't stress enough the absolute stunning deck that is RIGHT AT THE OCEAN'S EDGE. My family and I can't believe what an amazing experience it was to stay here. We spent 4 days watching the sunrise and set, surfers, seals, dolphins, pelicans, sea birds, the changing tides... everything an ocean lover can imagine. We were hoping for a whale, maybe on our next visit! 😆 The house is so cute. It was clean and had everything we needed. The living room tv allowed us to catch the games on Sunday while still enjoying the view. Go Taylor's bf! The kitchen was great, but we ordered out for every meal. The capitola village is just a short 8 min drive to grab delicious dinners. We walked to the Point Market for breakfast burritos and sandwiches. We have stayed in the past at a nice hotel on 41st. This house is a huge upgrade and totally worth the price! I am already counting the days until we can book this property again!!

Wonderful Beach House!

Our family of six, 3 generations, thoroughly enjoyed our week stay at this amazing beach house! This was a real splurge for us and much needed vacation. The property and location delivered a great experience and met most all our expectations. Loved the layout of the home, the detached master bedroom was perfect, the upstairs master a dream, the open floor plan and amazing deck perfect for all the family. Our first time vacationing in the Santa Cruz area, had plans to do a lot of exploring - but it was so hard to leave the beach house for long, we chose to relax on the deck and watch the wildlife and listen to the waves and breath the fresh air! Thank you for an amazing stay at your beach house! Note - it would be even more perfect if the family room furniture were more accommodating and comfortable for a multi-gen family. After a long day outdoors and exploring, the indoor patio furniture did not meet our expectations or match the comfort standard of the rest of the house - it was a bit disappointing. Hoping it can be improved upon as we would love to return in the future.

No Beach Access

We stayed here with another family in April 2010, and there were a total of 5 young children. We were specifically looking for a house on the beach where the kids could play. When we asked if there were stairs down to the beach, we were told there are. From what we could tell, there are stairs down to the rocks, but that's about it. And from the photo, it looks like a nice big beach. What the photo doesn't show is that it's high tide all the way up to the rocks except for early morning, so it's really not possible to hang out on this beach during the day, unless you are on a surfboard. There is a beach a few houses away, but with 5 little kids, it's hard to manage which is why we were looking for a house on the water. The gates were into the courtyard were falling down, as well as the gates from the deck down to the rocks. They don't provide beach towels, just 2 towels per room so you should definitely bring your own if you plan on going to the beach. The views were wonderful, but I would probably look elsewhere next time.
