About the host

Hosted by Christine Falsetti

Host profile image
We enjoy hosting groups of friends, families, and couples at our home. Please let us know about your interests when you make a reservation so we can give you the best service possible.

Many of our guests are multigenerational families, while others are groups of friends wanting to reconnect, or couples searching for a romantic getaway by the ocean. We've met so many wonderful people and are glad to share this special home with you. We look forward to hosting your stay at our beach retreat villa in Santa Cruz!

Why they chose this property

We prefer Santa Cruz's east side because it has great people-friendly beaches, a coastal sidewalk, and stunning views of Monterrey Bay. We particularly enjoy being able to walk to Twin Lakes Beach, Santa Cruz Harbor, and fantastic eateries and cafés like the Crow's Nest, Lago di Como, Harbor Beach Café, and more. We like how close we were to Capitola, the Boardwalk, and downtown Santa Cruz. We appreciate the seaside sounds, soft breezes, coffee shops, and free concerts on Saturday mornings at Twin Lakes, especially in the winter. With little to no morning fog and sunny skies in the morning, fall is a local secret favorite time of year.

What makes this property unique

The setting is priceless. We walk in and feel immediately transported to our very own luxury retreat overlooking lush, ocean landscape, deck, and hot tub. We also enjoy strolling along the paved ocean walkway, around the Harbor, and to the Lighthouse to watch the surfers, and beyond to enjoy the Santa Cruz Bay and Beach Boardwalk. This beach house is centrally located and is great for people of all ages. Every possible amenity & activity is nearby, but we often find ourselves spending the whole day at the house enjoying its tranquility, and natural beauty.
