About this property

Just 1 House to Beach, Views, Kid&Dog Friendly, New W/Ds& Spa,4+Kings,GatedParkg

You won’t want to leave our large beach house, just 1 house away from the 26th Ave Beach.
Enjoy relaxing ocean views from the second story decks, dining room, kitchen, living room, and master bedroom. Take a romantic sunset stroll on the beach, fall asleep to the sound of the waves, and drink your morning coffee while you watch for dolphins, sea lions, and surfers.

The 26th Ave beach is a popular spot for surfing, boogie boarding, families, and dogs. After playing in the sand, rinse off in our hot outdoor shower, then jump into the new hot tub.

On Sundays, walk or ride one our personal bicycles to the nearby Live Oak Farmer's Market. Remember to bring your helmets!

About the host

Hosted by Jean Gelbart

Host profile image
This property is owned and managed by a single family, and this is our only vacation rental.
We are a family of 4th/5th generation Californian's who grew up visiting Santa Cruz for family vacations and romantic get-aways. In 2007, while visiting the beach on just such a trip, we saw this beach house for sale and bought it! Our dream was to be able to visit Santa Cruz overnight periodically throughout the year, and have a space big enough for our family to come together and enjoy the beach.
We would not be able to maintain the costs of owning the property without short-term vacationers like you, and we are grateful for the chance to share our lovely beach home and the joy it has brought our family.

Why they chose this property

The house is literally a 20 second walk to beach access, and within 2 blocks on either side there are other beach access points. Within a 5 minute walk there is a trail to go for walks with dogs, and the Live Oak Farmer's Market is just a 2 minute drive. There amazing options close by for surfing, recreational runners, bicyclists, hikers, and bird watching. Fine dining and shopping is just minutes away, as well as cafes, thrift stores, and tasty hole-in-the-wall eateries.

What makes this property unique

In addition to the amazing location, the property itself is special because of the spacious floorplan - 2900 sq. ft. has an open floor plan and comfortably accommodates up to 10 adults. The upstairs kitchen, deck, and living area is made for entertaining and enjoying the ocean views and sea life, and the occasional paraglider! The backyard is also magical - enough room for a large hot tub, hammock, small garden, and lawn, but cozy and intimate.
All this is hidden away and secure behind the automatic driveway gate. The ample parking was also a draw for us - 2 cars can fit in the garage, and we have managed to fit an additional 3 cars in the driveway!
