About this property

Villa Vista Upper

  • Beauty, elegance and style...that's just the beginning. Villa Vista's upper unit is an outstanding oceanfront retreat with unsurpassed views of surf, sunsets and city lights. This three bedroom/three private bath rental features a spacious living room surrounded by a wraparound deck, offering guests a unique opportunity to enjoy some of nature's finest work in total comfort. There's also a fully stocked gourmet kitchen, washer/dryer, outdoor eating/viewing area with natural gas BBQ, big screen SmartTV and WiFi. Parking for three cars on site. All bedrooms have king size beds which can be made as twins (they do not separate). All linens are supplied and there's a portacrib and high chair, if needed. Beach towels, chairs and toys are also available. Walk right down to the beach and enjoy the surf and sand or walk a few blocks south and you're on the beautiful bluffs above Pleasure Point cliffs watching world class surfing or exploring the many coves and tide pools. Within a 5 minute drive or a 15 minute bike ride, you can be at the famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk or the quaint beachside resort of Capitola Village. Just a bit further and you're on downtown Santa Cruz's Pacific Avenue, home of boutique shops, restaurants, coffee houses and world-class entertainment. Your family and friends will never forget their time spent relaxing and reconnecting while staying in the upper unit at Villa Vista. It's a magical experience you'll want to return to, year after year.
