About this property

Beach Retreat blks to beach Hot tub, Firepit .The BEST Location! 4 bedrooms



You will love this beach house. It's very comfortable and beautifully decorated, plenty of room for all. Full sun facing backyard. After each guest, the home is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with a very experienced vacation rental cleaning crew. Self check in. it’s located in a quiet neighborhood. It’s not suitable for loud gatherings. Guests must be quiet in the backyard after 10
Entertain your family and friends by barbecuing, relaxing in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows in the gas fire pit while being surrounded by beautiful mature tropical landscaping. Let the good times begin with the large collection of bikes, helmets, Surf and boogie boards, wet suits, beach chairs, coolers, back packs, No need to lug around your baby gear. I have it all at the house. Pack in play, baby gates, booster, two high chairs, training wheel bike, bike kid carrier, child plates and utensils, children's books, dvd's and sand toys.
Very well stocked kitchen with top of the line appliances. Large living room with vaulted ceilings, 8 seat dining table, & huge couch. Very spacious inside. Large H.D. flat screen in the living room and master bedroom. Personal WIFI in house and yard.
Outdoor seating. Game table with games, puzzles and books and gas fireplace in the family room.
The best location in town. 1 1/2 blocks to Natural Bridges State Beach Park. (famous for thousands of monarch butterflies) and a two mile walking/bike path along the ocean called "West Cliff." The "Swift Street Courtyard" is close to the home it's where you’ll find winery tasting rooms, the Santa Cruz Mountain brewery, Humble sea brewery, Venus Sprits distillery, yoga studios, New Leaf Market (a mini-Whole Foods) and plenty of restaurants. (The West End Tap and Kitchen being one of my favorites) The Santa Cruz Boardwalk and wharf is approximately two miles away.
Upstairs is the master bedroom with a king bed, private full bathroom(separate tub and shower), balcony and cable T.V. In Bedroom number two is a King bed. Two twin beds are upstairs in bedroom number 3 with walk in closet. There is a full bathroom in between the two rooms. Downstairs ground level is a bedroom with a queen bed. Next to it is a full bathroom. The couch in the family room pulls out into a twin futon. There is a mattress topper on futon couch for extra comfort. I have one cot, one king blow up bed, two twin blow beds and a pack in play, that can be placed anywhere in the home.
Located in a small quiet court with plenty of parking. The home is safer for children playing out front, affordable and more private than most ocean front homes which have cars and people constantly going by.
The house is very safe with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarm, first aid kit and fire extinguisher. Everything in the home is well maintained and up to code.
I personally go to the vacation home between guests to insure it's in top shape. The home includes a host. Susan lives in the neighborhood and can quickly assist with any unforeseen problems that might arise with the home. She will drop by and introduce herself, you can ask her questions about the home or get recommendations on great places to see.
Downtown San Jose and the San Jose Airport are approximately 30 minutes away. The San Francisco Airport is 60 minutes away, as is Carmel, Monterey, and Pebble Beach. Downtown San Francisco is 80 minutes away.

There are always fun events happening in Santa Cruz

Great stay, great location
Geoff and Sue were very helpful and communicative. The house is very comfortable, and it is a short walk to the beach. It is also a short drive to get groceries or to downtown. We loved the quiet of this neighborhood and the access to beach and butterfly garden! A great house for our family of 10.

About the host

Hosted by Geoff Call

Host profile image
I grew up in Cupertino and moved to Santa Cruz in 1994 after graduating with a business degree from Western State Colorado University. I was attracted to Santa Cruz because its a fun town and has a lot to offer such as world class surfing, mountain biking, great live music and of course the beach and redwoods. I lived in the beach rental for 15 years and loved it. I wanted more of the country life style so I moved 15 min away to Bonny Doon in the Santa Cruz mountains on some acreage with my family.

Why they chose this property

The location of this property is perfect. It's close to the beach. You can walk across the street into Natural Bridges State Park & hike/bike nature trails at Wilder ranch. In the fall you see thousands of Monarch Butterfly's, some fly around in the backyard. It's close Highway 1 North which is surrounded by undeveloped landscape with nice beaches, surf breaks and dramatic cliff's that overlook the ocean. It's one of the most beautiful drives in the world. It's within walking/biking distance to my favorite parts of town , "The Swift St. Ct. yard". There you will find many world class wineries, two awesome breweries, great restaurants. It is much classier and safer than downtown Santa Cruz.

What makes this property unique

The backyard faces south. It gets full sun. The neighborhood is not congested like a lot of places close to the beach. You can park your car at any hour and not have to worry about finding a parking spot. The back yard is perfect for a family gathering. BBQ, Relax in the hot tub, gather around the gas fire pit at night while surrounded by mature tropical landscaping.
The gas grill & fire pit are connected to the house gas. They never run out
The subzero fridge in the kitchen is one of the largest home fridges made. It will hold that big Costco trip. The Viking range and oven is very solid and will meet you cooking needs.
I offer more beach gear, sports equipment and baby items for your use than most other rentals. For children there is a two high chairs, Bob stroller, car seats, pack and play, children's bikes/helmets, booster seat, sand toys, beach wagon, baby gates and a child bike carrier. For the beach, Surf boards, body boards, bikes, coolers, beach chairs, umbrella and more!
