We walked to the beach, rode bikes to ice cream, soaked after surfing. We had a memory-making holiday with absolutely no complaints. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us.

We (four adults, two little ones) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious and suited our needs perfectly. The location couldn't be beat, either!

This home was very warm and inviting. It’s a 2-story with a studio downstairs where the roomy foyer is, including the master bedroom, a kitchenette, roomy bathroom, and patio with hot tub. Upstairs is a large sitting/living room with a spacious, super cushyleather sofa and several chairs, to relax with Netflix+. The dining area and main kitchen are also upstairs along with 2 bedrooms and a back porch that leads to the deck where we had our dinners. The beds were comfortable. This house has an airy, roomy, homey feel. In addition, the house’s street was a small cut-out from the main road, nice and quiet. We loved it and plan to return. Access to the beach is just down the street, or you can walk directly around the corner for a beautiful ocean watching spot with a sitting area. We did both. Very enjoyable!

Perfect place for our family - all the gear for fun days at the beach (boogie boards, towels, bikes) and enough room for everyone. The host shared some great restaurant and beach tips beforehand which proved to be spot-on. We'll definitely be back, and I'd recommend the place to anyone!

My family and I really enjoyed this home. The location was amazing. Being so close to Moran Lake Beach and Pleasure Point was great to be able to just walk down to enjoy.
The garage was full of boogie boards, surf boards, wetsuits, bikes, beach chairs and towels. We didn't need to bring or buy anything to use at the beach.
The home was really nice. Kitchen was fully stocked with pots/pans/knives and some staples (oils, salt/pepper, etc) which was nice since we stayed in for dinner about half the trip. BBQ worked just fine.
Hot tub was great to relax in and was maintained by a professional while we were there.
The beds are a bit soft so it took us some time to adjust (we prefer a firmer mattress) but other than that all the amenities were great!

If you’re looking to stay in the Santa Cruz area, this is a great spot. The house is a short walking distance to the Point where you watch great surfing or surf yourself. It’s also a short walk to a small beach good for swimming. We walked into town several times to check out the surf shops. The house has every beach toy / accessory you could need including many bikes. That was the main draw for us (location and beach supplies) and it did not disappoint. We were pleasantly surprised by the ample kitchen supplies and condiments as well. There was even ground coffee. It made the stay very comfortable and easy. Great communication with the host as well. Thanks for a great visit.

The photos on the listing do not do it justice. The amenities really made it easy to keep the kids entertained and it has everything you need for meals in. It’s super close to peak surfing and exploring the area is made easy by the bikes and scooters available for use. Steve made a lot of great recommendations. Cannot give enough praise.

This beach house was perfect for our family and so conveniently located to great beaches, biking, farmer's market, people and surfer watching. We loved dining on the deck! The hot tub is a very nice perk too.
5.0
Steve was a wonderful. The location of this house makes for a peaceful and easy Santa Cruz experience. You can literally walk down the block with your surfboards to pleasure point and market and every guest had a sweet beach cruiser to bike to nearby shops. In the other direction, one minute away is the beautiful reservoir with snowy egrets and other birds and a sandy swimming beach across the street with sunsets. The house is immaculate, with highly organized kitchen supplies, and so comfortable with all the amenities. Couldn’t ask for more. One bedroom has a lovely deck and the main has a Garden with hot tub and outdoor shower. Neighbors even nice!

Great location. Just bad timing with the storm rolling through. Power stayed on so we bundled up and took advantage of the puzzles and games.

Our family of 4 was very happy at this property. Loved walking to Dunlap’s Donuts and then sitting on a bench and watching the waves, surfers and otters while we ate our breakfast. Kids loved the boardwalk. The master bed was super comfy. Walked to a different beach very nearby for sunsets. Great memories!

The property is as described and has all of the same conveniences you’d have at home. We especially enjoyed the use of the hot tub at the end of the day.
The location is a quick walk to Pleasure Point Beach. We definitely recommend visiting The Point Market for breakfast burritos on your way. It’s also convenient for quick day trips to Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Watsonville, and Monterey.
Check-in and out was easy. Communications regarding property were always prompt and friendly. We definitely hope to be back.

Clean, well equipped, great location! This is the second time I have stayed at this wonderful Eastside beach home in Santa Cruz. Walked into Capitola for dinner one night and enjoyed beautiful hikes at Henry Crowell State Park. Easy drive to explore Carmel for the day. Especially enjoy early morning walks along the cliffs as the surfers catch their first waves of the day.

You can see the ocean from the upstairs deck; a great place to have morning coffee or evening cocktails.

Our family of five including a toddler, his parents and grandparents, all had a great time in this house. It was very clean, comfortable, and well equipped. Had all amenities we needed. Plenty of towels for beach and others for home. Great toys, baby gate and travel crib for the toddler. Bikes, surfboards etc in the garage as advertised. Hot tub. Beautiful spaces indoor and out (2 lovely patios perfect for outdoor dining and quiet relaxation. Very nice welcome gifts at our doorstep when we arrived. Lovely neighborhood close to beaches, one within walking distance and many others a short drive away.

It was our first VRBO, loved it!
This property was perfectly located for all of us. We had family fly in from New Hampshire and they loved it! We took walks to the Point, downtown, to the beach and running on part of the W2W route. We enjoyed the vibe and hope to return soon.

Dream Vacation
This was such a fabulous home. We have 2 teenagers, so 2 rooms upstairs and the master suite downstairs was great. We cooked and grilled a lot. We used the bikes and the hot tub as well. Location was wonderful, about a 4 minute walk to the market and all the surfers. We saved money by cooking at home. Would stay there again. Thank you!
