About this property

Beautiful 1 bedroom in Seabright Beach area

Seabright Cabin is a fully updated 1913 historic cottage in the Seabright neighborhood of Santa Cruz. We rent to mature adults over 25 years old. Home may be unsafe for toddlers and small children due to the loft. No pets.

Completely renovated from top to bottom. Walk to the beach, harbor, restaurants, coffee shops, and Boardwalk. One bedroom with queen bed. Open, light-filled floor plan creates an inviting space that feels much larger. Features include high-speed wireless internet, warm-water outdoor shower, gas BBQ, and stacking washer-dryer. Snugly insulated for comfort and quiet. Ceiling fans and double-hung wood windows circulate summer breezes, and a gas stove keeps things toasty warm on winter days. Driveway with uncovered parking for one car. All linens, beach gear, cooking and serving supplies, board games, DVD library included. Flat-screen TV with blu-ray, and Roku for streaming Netflix, HBO Max, and other content. No cable at this time. Youtube TV has live sports and news.

Front porch with antique chairs gets morning sun, perfect for enjoying your coffee or catching up on email. Back patio has a dining table with umbrella seating 4. Fruit trees provide shade and fresh fruit for summer guests.

Seabright Beach is a 6 minute walk and the Santa Cruz yacht Harbor is a 5-10 minute walk. The Boardwalk Amusement park is an easy walk (15 min and save the high parking fee), but geographically separated from our neighborhood by the San Lorenzo River so you don't get the crowds and traffic. Warehouse complex across the street has the popular Verve coffee roastery for your morning latte, and a rock climbing gym with yoga and other classes available for visitors. Great restaurants and coffee shops are on adjacent blocks. The home is centrally located so you're usually less than 10 minutes from almost anything you want to do in Santa Cruz.

We rent to mature adults over 25 years old. No pets.

The cabin is adorable. It was very close to the beach and pier. There are restaurant and coffee shops within walking distance. It was absolutely perfect for what my wife and I needed for our stay.

Great Getaway Spot

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful little unit. A wide variety of wonderful restaurants are within 2 blocks. < 10 minute walks to Seabright Beach and the Santa Cruz Yacht harbor. Unit is clean, comfortable, and the kitchen is fully outfitted. Owner was a pleasure to deal with, and extremely flexible when we needed to make changes to our reservation.

Very clean and comfortable cottage in a great location

Well stocked cottage with high quality plush towels, every kind of kitchen utensil, a high end washer and dryer, and a tv with all the connections and programs to stream virtually anything. Highly recommended. Our two 19-year-old twin daughters both enjoyed sleeping in the loft area.

Lovely little holiday home

Wonderful home which appeared more spacious than it is. Very comfortable and well kitted out. Owner responded very promptly to all queries which was much appreciated when our flight was cancelled at the last minute. Within easy walking distance of beaches and harbour, the famous Boardwalk and shopping areas. The coffee roasters across the road was a little too convenient!

Great place to stay. Close to everything and with every amenity. Owner wonderfully responsive. .

This is a great place and we will return. It is cute, convenient, loaded with ammenities, and the owner is delightful. The only small concern we had was that a deep cleaning was in order for finger prints, under & behind furniture dust, and splashes. Most wouldn't notice but I'm a clean-freak and a germaphobe. Thank you for letting us stay in your wonderful place.

Anniversary trip.

We had a great time. The house is great has everything you need the neighbor hood is fun. Coffeehouse across street was good to have. We stayed in May so no ac was fine, we had cool nights and days. Lots of room for two maybe a small family it did have a loft. The only negative was bathroom was tight. TV or entertainment system took a while to figure out never got streaming service that they said they had. But we did get tv to mirror from IPad which help. Otherwise parking was close. house was beach bungalow.close to beach and all the area to hang out and close to PCH 1. Price was great for what you get.

We had an exceptional stay at the Seabright Cottage. This is one of the best-equipped vacation rentals I've ever stayed in, and the rest of my party concurred. We've often found that vacation rentals have frivolous items that take up space OR not enough items to make the stay feel like visiting a friends house; this rental was like the baby bear's porridge - Just Right. The outdoor shower was lovely, and the washer and dryer were a HUGE plus. You can walk to almost all the top touristy spots in Santa Cruz, and the neighborhood is cute as a button. 5 Stars!!

Our favorite place to stay

This is our second time staying at this property. We booked our vacation around when the place was available. The property feels like home and has everything you could possibly need for your stay. Communication with owner is fantastic. Home is located in a perfect spot for walking to both the harbor or boardwalk. Verve coffee is right across the street with also many places to eat within walking distance if you choose to do so. I highly recommend this property!
