Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Lori Talbot
We are the Talbot family and live in the East Bay of San Francisco. When we bought our vacation rental, our kids were 9 and 12, and we wanted a place we could all enjoy. We wanted to embrace the Santa Cruz lifestyle with a beach house-style home. I was born and raised in Hawaii, and I wanted a home away from home. So the island decor fits perfectly with the house location to the surf, beach, and the Aloha Grill down the street. Our kids love the bunk beds, and we made one of the rooms into a surfer decor to bring the Santa Cruz surf style to life. The beach, which is a short walk away, was perfect for us. It has boogie boarding, surfing, great sand for sandcastles, and beautiful views. The beach has no public parking, so it is inhabited mainly by locals and doesn't get too crowded. Also, at night, it is an excellent beach for bonfires.
Why they chose this property
There is nothing like listening to the waves crash on the shore or watching the sunset. We wanted a place we could all enjoy as a family or with friends. I have come to appreciate sharing this house with guests from all over the country and the world. I genuinely enjoy all the wonderful comments we receive about the house. It has become a special place for many others who have stayed here. It is very comfortable and relaxing. We try to have everything you would like on vacation at your fingertips. It is an excellent location for all generations. Not far is the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, which funs for all kids. The beach is excellent for swimming, catching waves, watching sea life and just taking a walk. We hope you come and stay and experience what we have enjoyed.
What makes this property unique
This house is a perfect place for people who want to spend time at the beach. The beach is only a short block away. It is a beautiful beach and excellent for long walks and all types of beach activities. The beach is not crowded and is only for the locals in the area. The house itself is ideal if you are the type that wants to spend the night at home with BBQ on the outside deck with views of the beach, Plasma T.V., and a gourmet kitchen. Or if you like to go out at night, the house is located 2 miles from Capitola, a beach town loaded with lots of restaurants and shops. The Santa Cruz Boardwalk is located 3 miles and has activities for all generations. The benefit of staying at this house is the renovations, which allow you to be very comfortable and for the location to everything Santa Cruz offers.
