Our family, three generations, had a fabulous time at this lovely home. Well-stocked with everything you need including entertainment for the kids (and adults.) Easy beach access, short walk to the Boardwalk, and also wonderful if you just want to stay at home and look at the views. You will not want for anything at this beautiful home. The host, Gabriela, is very easy to access and very responsive.

The best house on the best beach got even better

If you are going to Santa Cruz, Seabright Beach is the best - a great vibe and easy access to everything. No place else can you wake up to the sea lions, walk to the harbor, lunch on the pier, and enjoy the Boardwalk - all in the same day without taking your car out of the garage. If you are going to Seabright Beach, this is the best house period. We have rented four different homes in Seabright over the years, three multiple times (including here) and they are all great in their own way. But Gabriela's house is GREAT.

One of those homes you dream about buying one day

We had the most lovely time in this house. 9 of us in total and there was more than enough space for us all to spread out. We never left the house other than to visit the beach. The kitchen was ready to cook for a crowd. We BBQ’d, snuggled up for movies and talked about how we wished we lived there. Our host was so accommodating and her communication was 12/10. We will most definitely return to make more memories.

Best Christmas Ever

Ten of us from two families had the best Christmas in this wonderful home next to Seabright Beach. Some of us had stayed here a few years ago and were very happy with our visit then. The remodel took it to the next level. The new kitchen and other improvements were very well designed and implemented. Everything is professionally maintained, well stocked, and done with style. Combined with the sounds of the crashing surf and the warmth of the hot tub, life’s stresses melt away. Worth every penny!

Best time ever as you know Gabrielle this house has meant so much to our family for the many vacations we’ve had there.

We made some new memories that we won’t forget and thank you for always being the perfect hostess Gabriella hello if they find a pair of glasses reading glasses that are Gucci my daughter left them there and we would be willing to pay for them to send them to us if you could have the housekeepers check that would be wonderful thank you
