About this property

Family Farmhouse

Welcome to this special home on 2.5 private acres with an enchanting redwood grove, and fruit trees.

The house is located 1.5 miles up from Soquel Village, offering options for coffee shops, amazing restaurants, wineries, antique stores.

Capitola village and beach, and New Brighton beach are a short 3 miles drive. World class surfing at Pleasure Point is 4.8 miles, and the iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is just 7 miles away.

Land of Medicine Buddha, located minutes away, is a destination for well being and restorative hiking.

Monterey and Pebble Beach are 40 miles away for visits to the Monterey Bay Aquarium and the famous 17 Mile Drive.

French doors extend the spacious floorplan to the wrap around porch where you will soak in the afternoon sun, spending quiet time with nature. Bring your watercolors and yoga mat. Or liven it up playing darts. Create a memorable evening under the stars in the redwood grove.

The well appointed kitchen, with zinc countertops and a Wedgewood stove, is the classic, central gathering place of the home. A mudroom off the kitchen is a well-used catch all area for laundry, shoes, groceries, beach gear.

Three bedrooms and a full bath are upstairs. The master suite is on the main level. All provide privacy from the common area.

The "school room" is a separate office area...and a foosball table.

The driveway and parking area is dirt, so dust kicks up when driving. The grounds and land are kept natural and changes with the season (i.e. green in January, brown in July). Fruit trees are ready to harvest July-January, depending on the fruit. A few storage outbuildings exist on the property, and are not recommended/available for guest use.

Fantastic

The Farmhouse, as we came to call this wonderful home, was perfect. We had ample room for all 8 of us, and Allyson was very attentive. Enjoyed the location as it was close to the venue for a family wedding. The bride took pictures on site, and they turned out well in the Redwood grove. The wrap around deck was extremely enjoyed for meals. Daily we saw wild turkey and deer roaming through the lower part of the property. We were extremely happy with this property.

One in a million

I hosted my small wedding dinner celebration at this beautiful redwood destination. From the redwood grove to the coziness of the home, I could not have imagined a better place to gather and celebrate. Allyson was very accommodating, communicative, and welcoming. The home has everything you need with old school charm. I would love to stay here again and again! Thank you Allyson!

Wonderful family house!

The house was perfect for our group family getaway. We had six adults and two kids that fit perfectly in the house. The porch was really amazing to sit and have all our meals on. Communication was fast and easy. Would definitely recommend!

Felt Like a True Retreat

The setting of Sunnyslope provides an escape into nature where you are surrounded by flowers, fruit trees, and the towering redwood groves, yet it is a convenient 10 minute drive from restaurants and shops. The house is well stocked and was comfortable and cozy for our retreat - with plenty of parking spots. The piano was a wonderful surprise. Allyson was an attentive host who answered questions in advance and checked in to ensure that everything ran smoothly.

Ideal Family Vacation Place

Sunnyslope is a rare place. Nestled near forested area, this restored farmhouse offers an ideal place for families to gather With several bedroom and bathrooms, we had 9 people stay together at an intergenerational family gathering. There's a large wood burning fireplace which is always stocked with wood nearby. The kitchen is ideal for preparing meals with a good supply of pots, pans, and all you'll need. A central island offers a place where many people can work together. There is a large veranda which wraps around the house. It's furnished with chairs and a table and is ideal for people to break away and talk more one on one. The Santa Cruz downtown, beaches, and Boardwalk are very close by. Allyson Evans, the owner of the property and your host, is a very welcoming person with a sunny disposition appropriate to the venue. Consider yourself lucky if you are able to book Sunnyslope

A wonderful location for a quiet getaway

Allyson was a wonderful host who practiced great communication and who did sweet little things like having fresh flowers in the house and a treat from a local bakery waiting for us. The house is a wonderful place to get away while also being close enough to beaches and tourist sites like The Mystery Spot and the Monterey Bay Aquarium to enjoy those as well. Win-win! The bedrooms were comfortable, and she has updated a 19th-century farmhouse/logging camp in the most charming of ways. The kitchen was very well stocked with all you need to cook, including spices. There was even an unopened bag of coffee beans and a grinder and some teas as well as a bottle of honey. How thoughtful! The check-in process was easy peasy and Allyson even checked on us to see everything was okay through the VRBO app. Her instructions were very clear and helpful. I can't think of anything she could have done to make the stay more pleasant for myself, my husband, and our two adult children.

About the host

Hosted by Allyson Evans

Host profile image
I absolutely love being a host and making this home available for families and groups to create lasting memories. I was born and raised in Boulder, CO and have lived in California for 30+ years. The Santa Cruz area has been home since 1997. I am an avid collector of found treasures and making art is a hobby. I love the beach, the forest, reading, and spending time with my family and friends.

Why they chose this property

There is something incredible about being able to step outside the door and into the enchanting grove of hundreds+ year old towering redwood trees. Looking up into the canopy's filtered light, and enjoying the cool shade of the fairy ring never gets old.

The original home was built in 1852 and was used as a bunk house for loggers. When I renovated the home in 2010, I kept the original redwood subfloor as the main floor. Even walking on those floors is special, knowing it was likely milled from the property.

The location of the home is referred to as "close in country", meaning you're close to everything, including the ocean, and you have the space and tranquility of a country setting.

What makes this property unique

The wrap around porch is truly a unique benefit to this home. It extends the indoor/outdoor living space so there is ample room for people to find privacy or gather in a group. Star gazing from the steps is the perfect way to end the day.
