About this property

Beautiful View...and a short walk to Boardwalk!

  • Amazing location and views, this house captures the very essence of Santa Cruz. Walk to boardwalk, Seabright beach, the wharf, the yacht harbor, downtown Seabright and its variety of restaurants,......there are so many choices, you may choose not to drive during your entire stay.....And with our open floor plan, large windows, huge deck, and amazing views, you may choose not to even leave the house.

    This house is perfect for a family retreat. The 35 foot long deck offers amazing views, a BBQ, and tables and chairs for outdoor dining. The dining room/great room has a large table with seating for 8 but can easily hold 10. A large supply of games and puzzles offers more family fun time around the table. Walk downstairs to a huge 'hangout' room that boasts a large flat screen TV with satellite and DVD. There is a love seat, easy chair, sofa/sleeper, and papazan chair for comfortable seating. There are also extra sleeping mats and bean bag chairs in the closets.

    The master bedroom offers a queen bed, large flat screen with Dish TV and DVR, and a magnificent view. Bedroom 2 offers a queen bed, and bedroom 3 has a king bed and Dish TV. This house is ideally set up to be shared by two families. With 3 bedrooms and baths, each couple can have their own bedroom, while the kids can pull out the sofa sleeper, throw down some of the provided floor mats, and have a sleep-over in the family room.

    For your enjoyment we also provide 2 beach cruisers, a beach umbrella, beach chairs, boogie boards, and an ice chest.

    For added convenience and comfort we supply all towels and linens, toilet paper and paper towels.

    Come fall in love with our house as so many others have done.

This is the Place to Stay

With beautiful deck views of the San Lorenzo River and close proximity to the beaches and the Boardwalk, the house was perfect for our three-day family vacation. The two-level house had everything our family needed for comfort. Lauren, the host, was friendly and quick to respond to our needs. We hope to stay again soon.

Perfect for a girlfriend weekend

We absolutely loved this place. The owner was very responsive and we enjoyed our long weekend here. VERY close to the boardwalk (we could hear the happy screams from the roller coaster in the afternoon - it was a joyful sound) but also within walking distance to the beach. It was perfect for 4 long time friends to have a getaway and reconnect. I'm hoping to stay again in the future.
