About this house rental

Located only one block from the beach and close to the Harbor, this is a 2-storey open-architecture style home with cathedral type ceilings. Big windows and a gridwork of glass allows in plenty of light.

This home sleeps 5 with two bedrooms, a large open living space (living room & kitchen), one large bathroom and plenty of patios. The living room has a sofa and a comfortable day-bed that can double as a sleeper.

The upstairs bedroom opens to a private deck that gets the late afternoon sun. Here you can lay on a long couch, read a book or take a nap. In the evening, you can enjoy a glass of wine as you watch the sunset.

Downstairs, a large wraparound redwood deck, bathed in sunshine overlooks a stunning garden filled with beautiful plants and rocks and a bevy of doves, finches, blue-jays and red-winged blackbirds. Summer nights provide an occasion to sit in the hot tub in this zen-like setting and enjoy the clear starry nights in complete privacy.

Take Long Beach walks, watch the sunset, hear the crashing waves, have a long soak in the hot tub.. this home allows plenty of privacy while also being able to enjoy nature and get outside. Our vacation home is a beautiful, spacious, private home away from home.

Sleeping arrangement: The upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a pillow-top daybed, comfortably sleeping three. The downstairs bedroom has a Tempur Pedic queen mattress looking through large French doors to the hot tub against a wall of black bamboo. There is also a chaise, a foam foldout mattress and a double inflate-able queen mattress and a daybed if needed.

The tropical secluded backyard has a large wraparound deck, a hot-tub with chaise lounge-chairs, an outdoor hot & cold shower, a gas BBQ and a marble-top antique dining table & chairs. The lovely backyard is completely fenced so you can bring your furry friends with you.

Pet fee - Guests with pets are allowed to a pet for a fee of $40/day. (No more than one pet is allowed except with prior written permission). Pet owners must bring their own bedding/blankets etc for their pet to ensure that there is no pet fur on the house bedding, couches, chairs etc.. House cleaners should not be expected to clean up after them. Thank you.

This is an inviting and comfortable home, nicely situated near a beautiful beach in Santa Cruz. We are a family of four adults who put the well-stocked kitchen to good use for an involved holiday dinner. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the mid afternoon in the sunshine on the upper deck. The beds are comfy and the hot tub was greatly appreciated. The owner graciously gave us an early check-in. We were happy to bring our well-behaved dog. Everyone had a great time!

This is a lovely modestly-sized property that really tracks the Santa Cruz vibe. It is ideally situated on a quiet side street that dead-ends at a fantastic beach. To get to the beach there is a cliff with about 40 steps down/up to the beach, but isn’t an issue unless you have mobility issues. The deck is lovely and you can relax in the hot tub. Parking is on the street, but wasn’t an issue apart from Saturday afternoon, when we needed to park a few doors down, but not a big deal. The owners were very friendly and communicated in great detail in a timely manner. It was a wonderful week!

The owner was friendly and communicative. The house was clean and had ample towels, linens, etc. The decks were so nice to hang out on after being at the beach. It was a short walk to the beach - we brought a wagon to help with our stuff to and from the beach. We would happily return for another visit.

We truly enjoyed our stay here. The house is ideal for the neighborhood and we loved how in/out doors blended so well. For almost all of the week it was myself/wife/teenage daughter here and there was plenty of space. One day we had 3 more people here and still it felt spacious. We loved the distressed wood and how the house was decorated, and felt the beds were ideal for a good night’s sleep. Kitchen was was equipped and I think every meal we had was eaten at the table outside — very smart to place the table where the morning sun is! We definitely made use of the hot tub after a long day at the beach, and appreciated the outdoor shower to keep down the amount of sand getting inside. Shyamal was always available should we have a question and the check in/out was a breeze. Beach is a block away and it has been our favorite Santa Cruz beach for years, so you cannot beat the location.

Fabulous Beach House

Fabulous Beach House

I stayed at Shyamal’s property with my wife and 3 year old daughter for a week in July. We had a wonderful time. The house is a short walk (about 5 minutes with a 3 year old) to a lovely beach. The neighborhood is quiet and safe, and we really enjoyed walking to many of the nearby restaurants for dinner. There is no dedicated driveway, but we easily found parking right out front each day without fail (even on busy beach days in July.) The house was very cute and well maintained. The wifi was fast and we easily signed into our streaming services on the smart TV. Shyamal provided plenty of towels and kitchen essentials, and we did a few loads of laundry throughout the week. We absolutely loved relaxing in the hot tubs in the evenings, and listening to the waves from the upstairs deck. It was a fantastic place to stay on all fronts, and we would love to return in the future.

Great beach getaway

Our family of 3 and our small dog had a great long weekend at this home. The close access to an awesome beach was a major highlight - a few minutes of a stroll and you're there. The home was very clean and comfortable - especially the beds, which is always a huge plus with vacation rentals. Our hosts were quick to respond and easy to communicate with regarding anything that came up for us during our stay. While it was made clear that some neighbors were sensitive to noise, we didn't have an issues and it was easy to be mindful. We would definitely come back to this house!
