VR PERMIT # 211208 A relaxing beach retreat - just a block from the beach - is tastefully decorated in a contemporary Balinese style with a soothing and warm tropical feel, and lacks nothing. It is immaculate, quiet, and very comfortable. Extra cleaning precautions are being taken to ensure your safety during COVID.

This remodeled beach home’s focus is on comfort and relaxation. It has a peaceful, tropical feel throughout that puts you at ease, accented with unique art and handcrafted furnishings. A spacious, open-concept floor plan keeps you connected, and the welcoming living and dining areas encourage you to sit down and enjoy time together. Prepare a meal in the well-stocked gourmet kitchen and then enjoy it in the Balinese-inspired dining room. Soft white towels, high-thread count sheets, and a collection of quality personal bath care items are available. Beach Lover’s Retreat is another level of dog-friendly, with plush doggie beds, blankets and a dog-friendly & off-leash beach is just at the end of the street. Plus, the backyard is fenced for their safety and your convenience. One guest commented, “…my dog is still wondering why we had to come home.” In-home entertainment abounds – provided are libraries of hundreds of hit movies, children(many Disney) movies, and multi-genre music CDs for your enjoyment! A large family game collection is also available HANG-OUT(SIDE) After a long day at the beach or the Boardwalk, gather around the outdoor fire pit. There is a Weber gas grill for preparing your fresh catch-of-the-day from the Santa Cruz wharf and other finds from the nearby farmers’ markets. Enjoy your meals around the backyard dining table next to the grill, and relax afterward in our lounge chairs. The secure fenced backyard means you can let your children and four-legged companion run free. And there is an outdoor hot + cold shower for use after coming off the beach or when the pup has rolled in the sand all day. IT’S YOUR KIND OF BEACH NEIGHBORHOOD This vacation home is located in a safe residential neighborhood that embraces the best of the “Santa Cruz vibe.” It’s very much a “wave and say hi” kind of place. The beach’s sand and waves are right at the end of the street, just a block away. The Beach Lover's Retreat is within walking distance of 41st Avenue, the main artery in the area for restaurants, coffee houses and shops. There’s plenty of parking with 3 on-driveway spots all your own. Located just 5 to 10 driving minutes from the Boardwalk and Capitola, and 15 minutes from the eclectic Pacific Street shopping / dining downtown area. The home is 50ish minutes from Monterey and Carmel.

We just returned home from our lovely three night getaway at this cozy home “Beach Lovers Retreat.” We’ve stayed at this home several times and continue to return due to its easy access to the beach (just a short couple of blocks walking distance), cleanliness of the property, ease of check in and out, and overall comfort of the house. The kitchen is always well stocked for cooking but there are also many close restaurants nearby that we enjoy. Always a pleasure to get a chance to stay at this great vacation rental on the coast!

We stayed for two nights, house has lots of beach gear, cozy rooms and small state beach near by. The rooms are smaller than expected so for a group of six it's crampy. The bath rooms are not attached to the bed rooms so two families will have to juggle. The beach is okay at best. The price is not justified after adding VRBO and host fees on top of daily fees, so it's mispriced for it's location when it all adds up so buyer beware

This is a great location a block and a half from the beach. There is a good surf break right there, and it's kind of on a cove, so no crowds. The house had all the supplies you would need and has a really nice backyard with a fire pit that we enjoyed. Great place- we will be back!

We stayed for 5 nights to get out of the Sacramento summer heat. We brought our two retrievers with us. All of us had a wonderful time. The proximity to the beach cannot be beat, nor can the quality. The house was perfect size for us and had every amenity we could have asked for! It even had an outdoor shower to rinse off the sand! We hope to stay here again in the future.

Great location one block from the beach. Well appointed and quiet neighbor hood. Close to boardwalk and shopping and dining.
We live inland where it has been so hot and it was a relief to be cool and pleasant.

Linda and Cal are the perfect hosts and great communicators. Their home is thoughtfully stocked and impressively organized to help you, your family, and dogs feel at home. The house and yard are pleasant and comfortable, and the neighborhood and beach proximity are excellent. We enjoyed lots of walking and a number of the nearby coffee and eatery options; also wonderful New Leaf Market for fresh local groceries. An ideal unwind!

I truly cannot think of one thing that the owners haven't thought of in preparing this rental, from the completely outfitted kitchen to the comfortable beds to the private fenced rear patio and firepit, this place is perfectly executed. And the location is ideal and close to the beach and hiking trails. Looking forward to our next visit.

We (2 adults and our German Shepherd) stayed for 4 nights.
This house is just as advertised and more. Best equipped kitchen we've ever seen. There were kid and dog supplies galore. No worries if you forget something as it's probably already there. Our dog took every toy out of the basket to play with. Great location to walk the dog and easy to get to the beach and quick drive to groceries and restaurants. Would definitely stay again if we're headed to Santa Cruz area.
