About this house rental

Situated in Opal Cliffs, this attractive house for $1,420 per night is a fantastic choice for your next break. Not enough snow to ski? Come to the beach! Winter in Santa Cruz is beautiful and the waves are bigger. And if it rains, we've got fireplaces (yes that's plural) to keep you cozy. You've found the perfect house for enjoying the beach, ocean views, and close access to the redwood forests. Plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms PLUS two private hot outdoor showers make this the best place in Santa Cruz to stay for larger families. NEW UPDATE: Our backyard basketball court now converts to a regulation-sized pickleball court with net! This large sunny house is a premier location for a Santa Cruz getaway. Located on a quiet residential street in an exclusive neighborhood, it is just five hundred feet to Sunny Cove beach, known by locals for boogie boarding and skimboarding. The Monterey Peninsula and its twinkling lights are visible across the bay from the family room and spacious deck. The house is within walking distance to Starbucks, a local brewery, restaurants, a fantastic farmer's market and the harbor, and easy biking distance to the Boardwalk or Capitola. Golf, wine tasting, yoga, rock climbing, kayaking, paddle-boarding, and sailing are available nearby. Not only does our house have location, location, location, there is plenty of room with nearly 5,000 square feet of living space. There are three rooms with queen beds (one with an ocean view), two rooms with king beds, and a very large room that sleeps 8 children in bunk beds. There is an upstairs family room with a fireplace and ocean view, and another family room downstairs with a fireplace and a huge TV. There is also a game room with a pool table and an additional huge TV. We have beach chairs, boogie boards, and a selection of wetsuits for your use during your stay. The backyard has a large sportcourt surface with a basketball court/pickleball court. Balconies from the bedrooms allow for great views of sunsets.

We have stayed in this home twice now and it really works well for our large family Thanksgiving gatherings. Love the game room!! The kids practically lived there. Basketball and pickle ball was great!! The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook minus the food of course. The bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and clean. Quick little walk to the beach and restaurants. We would recommend anyone to stay here. Plus you get your steps in with all the stairs!!

this great multilevel property was a perfect place where our family held a 75th birthday celebration. in addition to lots of stairs the house came with lots of kitchen amenities that kept most of "our traveling baking bag" packed up (about the only thing missing was a rolling pin :) and entertainment goodies (especially the pool table and pickleball court) and plenty of room for us all to get together and also to split up into smaller groups. in addition to maintaining a great property, the owner was very responsive throughout and after, even helping return one of our grands' favourite pillow that was left behind. a+++ all the way. our family continues to take about it and there are already discussions about a return, [std disclaimer: nobody paid us, we paid them and are satisfied customers.]

The house is gigantic with rooms enough to fit many family members. Close to the beach with a ton of gear to borrow. Would love to return some day! Thank you for an awesome experience.

Even after moving out of state, The Shaw Beach House remains our family's favorite vacation spot. Every visit we've had here has been an absolute blast, and we always leave already planning for our next trip back. One of the things we love most about this house is how well it accommodates everyone in our family, from the youngest to the oldest. No matter your age, there's something here for everyone to enjoy. And with all the recent updates to the house, we were blown away by how much thought and care the hosts put into making this already-great home even better. The pickle ball court was a particular highlight for us - we had so much fun playing together as a family! And with all the amenities and thoughtful touches provided by the hosts, we always feel so comfortable and at home here. We truly cannot wait to come back for our next family vacation!

My wife and I rented this beautiful house for our annual summer vacay with our two daughters, their husbands, and our six grandchildren (ages 2-8), and the house was everything we wanted. Plenty of beds and bedrooms, a well-stocked kitchen with two dishwashers (there are also two clothes washers and dryers in the laundry room, which came in handy for our group), a large wraparound deck, a spacious living room, a separate downstairs den with TV where the kids could be together but still be within earshot of the adults, a short walk to a very nice beach (albeit with some steep, uneven stairs from the roadway to navigate - no problem for most folks but potentially an obstacle for anyone with a stroller, wheelchair, walker, cane, etc.). The 2 outdoor showers came in handy for de-sanding the kids when we came back from the beach, and the house came with surfboards, boogie boards, wetsuits in various sizes, and beach chairs. We had a great stay and did not experience any issues at all.

This house is enormous, giving our multiple couples plenty of space to be with one another and apart. Tons of play equipment for little guys and their parents. Very well-stocked kitchen. No issues.
