A beautifully appointed house that felt like a home that is loved and well cared for. We couldn't have wished for anything more as it had a garage of beach toys and conveniences, the kitchen was well stocked, and it was beautiful. So convenient with the beach and boardwalk so closeby.

The only complaint I have about this location is that the shower's water pressure is terrible. Literally everything else was amazing. The location was PERFECT. Excellent walking to a beach just two blocks away and the boardwalk is a ten minute walk for a slow-poke! The sounds of the waves, sea lions, and birds were ever-present. Beautiful! The house itself was comfortable, the hot tub was immaculate, and for someone who cooks often, the kitchen was easy to use with so many great appliances! (Could use a coffee grinder, but I'm being nit-picky!) Thank you so much for this property, we had an absolute BLAST!

Very tastefully decorated to be light and airy and beautiful. Wonderful place in great condition! Highly recommend!

Amazing place close to the ocean

Great place for getting away from the busy life in the bay or just for a change of scenery (especially these days). The place is well stocked with all you could possibly need and lots of amenities. The only drawback is that it was impossible to get hold of the owner, multiple messages on VRBO and voice mail were all unanswered. This would be my only concern if I were to rent this place again. Otherwise, amazing!

Great home and location

When we arrived the house hadn’t been cleaned yet so we contacted Lily and she took care of it right away. I appreciate her responding quickly and making it right. The house is beautiful and in walking distance to Seabright beach. We enjoyed hanging out and eating meals on the deck. The house had a lot of equipment from the kitchen to the beach toys. The bikes were on the larger size for my kids (7, 10, 12) but we were able to use other supplies like the beach chairs and ladder ball game at the beach. It was walking distance to boardwalk and amusement area. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.

We made it work

There were six adults & we made it work. The view was BEAUTIFUL, the deck was nice, the fridge ice & water didn't work, rain came in ON THE FUTON in the master bedroom, blinds in master wouldn't close on one side so people could see in, you need young healthy people to use the master bedroom (15 steep stairs). No face towels in the house and FEW bath towels; we had to go to the store and buy some. No iron, the ironing board was rusted & took two people and 10 minutes to collapse, blinds downstairs were dirty. Living area was TIGHT, dining table is only for 4 & space SUPER TIGHT, showers in both bathrooms were updated but challenging to operate for some. Lockbox is old & I had to put the combination in 6-8 times before it opened, and the same with closing when I returned the keys.

We rented this darling beach house for a family vacation in Santa Cruz. It was perfect for our multigenerational family. Our daughter, son in law and their 3 children had two bedrooms and a bath on the main level and the upstairs master suite was perfect for us. We all loved the large upstairs deck with a perk a boo ocean view for a couple of our family meals. The beds were very comfortable and the house very well equipped with plenty of towels, kitchen supplies and lots of toys and games for the kids. There are beach chairs, beach toys, bikes, coolers and more in the garage as well as a washer and dryer which was so handy. The location in Seabright is excellent and an easy 2 block walk to the beach. We were able to walk to the Boardwalk and the Wharf as well. The owner is very responsive and available. We would definitely rent this wonderful home again in the future.

BEST SANTA CRUZ EXPERIENCE EVER !

This was such a WONDERFUL 2 floor beautiful beach house experience! Upper deck lounge chairs, private hot tub 2nd floor back deck, gigantic master bedroom upstairs with a fireplace and a big ceiling fan to keep us cool! Bunk Beds and 3rd bed next to it AND a separate bedroom downstairs too! love the chase-couch, the kitchen was PERFECT - i made pancakes, bacon, and eggs our 1st morning (brought my own ingredients and my favorite pan) and they had everything else! Fridge SO clean, fillled ice trays for our water bottles, wide screen TV for end of the night YouTube Movies channel, ceiling fan downstairs too! GREAT neighborhood. The location was close to EVERYTHING !!! 21 min stroll to the boardwalk and about the same back - we did it TWICE every day. 13 min drive to Shadowbook (OMG WOW) restaurant, 15 min drive to the Mystery Spot (don't miss that ! Beautiful hike as long as you want, turn back any time, and the 40 min tour of the "spot" was unforgettable. They had beach towels for us (used that for an amazing beach day) - luxurious beds, bedding, pillows, extra blankets ... GAMES at the house ! QUIET neighborhood! All the light switches were LABELED !!!! cozy but luxurious at the same time, we are 100% coming back if they will have us - they replied to my texts IMMEDIATELY when i entered the Wi-Fi code in with a capital letter that i shouldn't have, LOL - responded immediately when i had a question about where the fan switch was. they are SOOO great!!! loved it.

Perfect Stay at the Beach

We loved staying at this house. The house was exactly as pictured and beautifully furnished throughout. We loved being able to eat our meals out on the deck overlooking the ocean and to walk to several restaurants and the boardwalk. It was the perfect central spot to explore Santa Cruz as well as the Monterey/Carmel area.

About the host

Hosted by Lily

Host profile image
My husband and I both grew up along the coast of Southern California and we both love everything that a quaint beach town has to offer. As soon as we found the SEABRIGHT beach area, we fell in love.. It is so bright and sunny, and we just loved the fresh air, the sound of the crashing ocean waves, the casual attitude, the friendly environment, and the vacation like feel. With the beach just a few steps away, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, many restaurants, and the harbor, all within such a short walking distance, it seemed like a perfect place for our family to build many, delightful and fantastic memories. So far it has been a perfect vacation place for us and such a great location and we hope you and your family enjoy this house and it's location as much as we have!

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy a house in the Seabright area because it is one of the nicest, sunniest areas in Santa Cruz. This little town is very well cared for and has such cute Victorian beach cottage homes. The beach has bathrooms and showers and a little ice cream stand and there are also lifeguard stations all along the beach making it a very safe and family friendly beach. Seabright beach also allows bonfires in the evening and this makes the beach a unique place. Also what made this location ideal for us is that the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk is only a short walking distance from the house as well as numerous restaurants and the harbor. There are lots of beautiful trails and walks from the house along the ocean front and the neighborhood is very friendly.

What makes this property unique

The location of this house is ideal! It is nicely situated between both the boardwalk and the harbor. The beach entrance is right at the bottom of our street, the boardwalk and the harbor are both only about a 5 minute walk away,. So, you have the beach, the harbor, AND an amusement area so close! It is such a special place and nested within a nice, clean and quiet neighborhood. The beach at the bottom of the street is a special beach. It is never a crowded or busy area because of where we are situated. Another thing that makes this particular area special is that Seabright beach allows bonfires at night. It is a special and neat experience to walk right down, to the beach, have a nice bonfire, roast hot dogs, or smores and chat with family and/or friends and then walk right home.

Another fun thing to do is to walk along the ocean front as you make your way to the harbor. Aldo's is a great restaraunt on the harbor to eat and/or have drinks and enjoy the beautiful scenery while watching the boats sailing in and out of the harbor. There are seals and pelicans and you can even take a walk all the way out to the lighthouse or rent boats or kayaks if you are feeling adventurous.

A museum is also at the bottom of the street with a large whale out front that is as fun spot for kids to climb and play.

One of our favorite things to do when we are there is to wake up, sit on the deck and to listen for the ocean. Then, go for nice little walk to a local coffee shop with our children. We grab coffee and breakfast and then head down to the beach. With our eldest son on his bike, and youngest in the wagon, we head over to the harbor and let the kids run down to the light house. As we make our way back we head to the beach, the kids romp and play in the sand and waves and we head back to the house for lunch. We end our day roasting hot dogs and marshmallows with a bonfire on the beach or a barbeque on the deck upstairs!
