Photos and Description of the Santa Cruz vacation house rental 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, sleeps 8

This spectacular beach front house sits right on the sand, enjoying wide-open views of the sailors and surfers out on Monterey Bay. Check in, soak in the hot tub and watch the waves break on the beach. Barbecue your dinner down at the garden patio, then dine outdoors on the picnic deck, all without taking your eyes off the entrancing view. This great family home has an extra large, fully-equipped kitchen with a huge dining table that easily seats eight. Take your ease in the porch swing or hammock. Plan your adventures on the eMac computer with broadband WiFi Internet service. Clean up with outdoor shower, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. Then head out for the great Santa Cruz nightlife, or chill at home with the widescreen TV and HDTV cable service with DVR and DVD player. Walk to the Aloha Grill or the Taqueria Michoacan. Warm up by the chimney. Wonder where the week went so fast. Better make it two weeks next time.

Further details for this vacation house rental in Santa Cruz, California

Beach Access : This house is located at the edge of the beach, where it is protected from wave erosion by rip-rap. Beach access varies from season to season, depending mainly on the effect of winter storms on the sand level and lagoon location. This spring (May 2009) the lagoon is not in front of the house, and you can walk directly onto the sand in front of the rip-rap.

Parking: You can easily fit three cars in the driveway, and one more by parking valet-style. The nearest on-street parking is two blocks away.

Internet and computer: We provide broadband Internet access and an eMac computer for web surfing, email, etc. You can also connect your own laptop computer with our WiFi router. There's an all-in-one printer/copier/scanner so you can print out local maps, etc.

Family vacation 2009

indygirl18 Lodi,Ca
Review Submitted: July 7, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2009
This house was awesome! Perfect for a family with kids. Ours are 12, 9 and 2 years old and it worked for all of them.The older kids can easily play on the beach and be watched from the decks. Washing the sand off them is simple with the warm outdoor shower. Beach was not crowded at all, but it is covered with a lot of seaweed. You must be able to walk steadily down a slight rocky walkway to access beach. This could be trouble for an eldery person with limited mobility. Simple walk to tide pools for the kids to explore. You must also like dogs because this is a dog friendly beach. (never a problem though) The view is beautiful during the day or by moonlight. This is the first time we have rented a property that we have been 100% happy with, no complaints at all. I can't even think of anything that would of made this home better. The set up of this home is perfect if two families are sharing or the kids are old enough to crash in the downstairs alone. They have their own space to be kids and enjoy time without adults in their space! Roomy enough to all hang out together, or not to feel like your crowded. Close to the boardwalk for family outings or quaint little shopping in town. We will recommend this house to anyone, and if Santa Cruz is our destination next year , this is our house!!! Free telephone calls kept us in touch with our loved ones at home. The entire trip had a relaxed atmosphere and really did go by before we knew it, two weeks would of been better. You will not be unhappy with this house or location. The weather was mild so it does keep the beach feeling cool, you might need a wetsuit if spending much time in the water. Patio is perfect for evening BBQ or just relaxing by the fire. Hot tub is a great feature to finish off your night. Thank you for a wonderful family vacation !

This beach house is awesome. It is just steps from the beach. It is a great beach not crowded at all. The outdoor shower is a great feature plus it has hot water. The house is close to the boardwalk and close to
Capitola. Hope to go to this beach house every summer. I would highly recommend it!!!!!!!
