About The Owner

We originally built the 'Seabright Cottage' as a gathering place for extended family and friends. My parents bought the lot in 1971, and the (very small) shack built there was demolished to make way for the new house twenty five years later.

As a vacation rental, our visitors get the opportunity to enjoy the ocean, beach, great places to eat, parks, Harbor, etc. as much as we do.

We visit frequently from our home in Truckee. Our kids love the transition from the mountains to the ocean environment, and spend countless hours at Seabright Beach, a 5 minute walk from our house, and down the steps to the beach. We love our friendly little neighborhood; the well maintained gardens are colorful and a joy to inspect on our daily walks to the beach!

The Boardwalk is also within walking distance. We enjoy visiting Steamer's Lane (close to the Boardwalk), where all of the locals surf.

Occasionally, we go Downtown to hear music, see a movie, go to the bookstore, or browse the many little shops.

My husband is a General Contractor and keeps the Cottage in ship shape. Our good friend, Debbie, is our on-site Manager, and lives close by.

I spend time in my home office year round working on the maintenance,upkeep, and rentals of Seabright Cottage.

In addition, I spend winters as a ski instructor at Squaw Valley USA, and occasionally teach for Disabled Sports USA at Alpine Meadows ski area.

I enjoy providing our tenants with a great place to stay in Santa Cruz.

The Owner purchased this house in 1971

Bright at Seabright Beach

5 of 5
Submitted: October 18, 2012 Stayed: October 2012
I love the Seabright beach area - and this rental was bright and clean. Very close to the beach with the beach access stairs right at the end of the street. For those of you have not been to Santa Cruz (or Seabright) it can go from quaint, to funky, to well, just a little run down and creepy - this rental is on a nice street with all cute little houses and nice neighbors.

The cottage is well kept up and well equipped. It is in a very convenient location and nice neighborhood. It is easy to walk to the beach and to local shops, restaurants, coffee shops and the boardwalk. Good for us, it was easy to walk to the climbing gym.

Great Stay at Seabright Cottage!

My husband and I stayed at the Seabright Cottage for a month and enjoyed every minute of our time there! The cottage is very well kept, quite comfortable, and located just a short walk from the beach. For dining out, we enjoyed the Crow's Nest at Yacht harbor, Seabright Brewery with it's casual outdoor seating, Betty's Burgers, and Engfer's Pizza, all of which were walking distance from the cottage. The owner's were very easy to work with and our deposit was promptly returned after our departure. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better time and we highly recommend this cozy cottage!

The Perfect Place to Stay in Santa Cruz

5 of 5
Submitted: May 30, 2012 Stayed: May 2012
We were a group of four adults (2 couples) getting away for a little surf and sun. The Seabright Cottage was indeed the perfect choice for us. 2 blocks from Seabright Beach and lighthouse (we walked there several times), close to a small commercial area without being too close, roomy and well-appointed, quiet neighborhood, great kitchen...I could go on and on. We walked all the way to the end of the wharf one day via the Boardwalk, visited Big Basin to see the coastal redwoods on another, ate a lot of seafood and played a lot of cards around the dining table. The Seabright neighborhood is on the other side of the harbor from the Boardwalk and all the crowds and congestion, so you really have the best of both worlds. Inside the cottage, things are set up to allow for plenty of privacy (1 bedroom on each floor) as well as comfy common areas - the living room, dining room and loft. The four of us were able to read or nap, watch TV, use the internet, and cook a meal - all simultaneously. Truly a home away from home. Best local restaurant meals we had during our stay: breakfast at the Harbor Cafe and at the Calistoga Diner.

This place was great! The cottage is wonderfully clean and well kept. The owners are very attentive to keeping the cottage well equipped and comfortable. The backyard is intimate and lovely and we spent several evenings outside having a glass of wine and enjoying the barbeque. Then we would walk two blocks to the beach and watch the sunset. The cottage is romantic and relaxing for parents and terrific for kids. It is within walking distance to the beach and the Boardwalk. Also great mountain biking nearby, a tennis court at a local park, great restaurants and shopping downtown. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend this cottage for your vacation.
