Restaurants: :
Take a short stroll to one of the many nearby restaurants. The Aloha Grill with a surfing motif is just 2 blocks away, and the more sophisticated Ano Southwestern grill is 5 blocks south (our favorite). Within 6-8 blocks you can find good BBQ (6 blocks), a Deli, (6 blocks) Italian (7 blocks), Mexican (6 blocks either way), Chinese (7 blocks), and even a seafood steakhouse restaurant (8 blocks).
Windmill Coffee Spot, Deli-Licious Cafe (5 blocks), and best of all, the Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor! Rent sailboats or kayaks, ride the Harbor shuttle, enjoy a glass of wine at the Crow's Nest. A perfect summer vacation!

This is the first time this private home is offered as a vacation rental and it has all the comforts of home plus so much more!
Santa Maria Beach:
It is difficult to adequately describe and do justice to this beach. A combination of good weather, great surfing spots, white sand, tide pools to explore with anemones, urchins, and hermit crabs. The accessible cliff and tide pools make it a favorite for families and all beach lovers. Surfers Paradise! Grab your surfboard and hop across the street to catch a wave at Santa Maria's surfing spots just steps away!
Note to Beach Vacation renters: Don’t be fooled by rentals that may have a good view from the house, but getting to a beach can be a, well, a real “beach”. Common problems are inaccessible or inconvenient beach access (steep cliffs), windy, foggy weather and small or no beaches at high tide (rentals on West Cliff, Pleasure Point, and Opal Cliffs have these problems.)
