Great as always!
4.8
We really enjoyed this house, it was minutes from miles long beach. Beds were comfortable, yard was secured and we loved they accepted our dog. Easy to get in and out, had lots of pots and pans to cook and dishes to serve. The oven was super cool looking. Heat was working great as it was cold at night there. Lots of towels and supplies. Very comfortable house and nicely done.

It was a wonderful time, even in the rain. We fit 8 just fine. Kitchen was stocked with all the things you need. Instructions were very clear. Communication was awesome!! Very accommodating!

I found this property for a trip I planned for the family. It was absolutely delightful! The only reason why I didn't give it a full 5 star rating was the listing said "pet friendly," and then about 2 week before our check in, we were told the dogs had to stay off the furniture and could not go upstairs. Not having any idea of the layout, this stressed me out and I wished I had known the pet rules before paying for the rental. In hindsight, it is actually not as limiting as I thought it would be. The upstairs is just 1 bedroom, and easy to keep your pets on the downstairs level. And the owners are just trying to keep their house in good condition. :)
The rooms were all VERY clean and I just felt like we were in a cute cottage! We arrived at night so we were pleasantly surprised when we woke up and saw the gorgeous views of the ocean! It was spectacular! We walked along the beach every month.
I highly recommend this property!

The views of the ocean were excellent with only a few short steps to a lively and popular sea cliff.
The backyard was beautifully planted with an array of different color flowers and a nice deck to enjoy breakfast or a book.

House happened to be available for a quick get away. Owner was great to work with, very responsive. Great location, exactly as close to the water as it looks. Bathrooms and Kitchen are fully functional, but a little dated. Not a detractor, but something to know. We’d go back.
4.8
Great view from the expansive front windows, although you might feel like you're in a fish bowl at times. The house is well equipped and a store within walking distance if you some small littles.
Wish the bedroom upstairs had a bathroom or at least a toilet room. The bathrooms on the ground are a little dated but functionable.
It is a great location if you like to venture into Santa Cruz and relax on the bluffs in La Selva Beach.

House was clean and well stocked, we enjoyed our stay and will return!

We enjoyed our stay at this incredible beach house so much. It was the perfect spot for a weekend at the beach. Even the dog gives it a 2 paws up! There isn’t much that’s in the area but it’s not a far drive to get to great spots.
4.8
My family and I loved staying in the La Selva beach house! The view of the ocean out the front windows was the best way to start and end each day. Having a room dedicated to children as well was a plus for us. We will definitely be staying here again!

You cannot beat the location of this house! Very beautiful setting in a sleepy beach town with very close access to many fun activities and beautiful sights.
The hosts are incredibly helpful and responsive.
I would recommend to any and all

We loved this home. It is everything you would want in a beach vacation home. Would stay here again.

This house is in a great location with beautiful views. My wife and I had an amazing time and so glad we were able to bring our fur babies. Hope everyone treats house with respect so we can continue to come back. Would like to see more privacy for downstairs windows. A little uncomfortable when the same people park out front from 3:30pm-10pm and just sit there for 6.5 hours 3 nights in a row. With no blinds in kitchen and see through drapes it made turning on lights at night very uncomfortable but we made the best of it and had an amazing time and would definitely come back.

Upstairs room was quite a few stairs. Walk to the beach was ok going down but my back and knees didn’t make it up, husband gave me a ride. Love the house, location, views.

Small 3 generation family together. Incredible Ocean View from family room, kitchen and upstairs bedroom (with outside deck). Wood burning fireplace. It was so much better than anticipated. It poured rain and hale then it was vivid blue skies each day. It was perfect. Very well equipped kitchen and great linens. Enclosed, secure back yard for dogs or children.

This was my second stay at this house. It is clean, spacious, and comfortable! The oceanfront views are unbelievably awesome. The Host is very responsive. Great family home and my puppy Sofie thinks it’s our second house now. We’ll be back! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us!

Great rental for a beach trip without the tourist city to deal with. Older house that isn't perfect but holding up well. Awesome location and views to enjoy. Has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

We had a lovely stay at this sweet beach house. Amazing views and location. Clean house, comfortable furnishings. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

The house is nice, but the floors and furnishings are quite worn, and the kitchen and baths all need an update.

We enjoyed our stay, we had a little hiccups, property owner/manager was quick to response and very helpful. I was sad to learn that the private beach entry is no longer allowed to be used by renters. Enjoyed our stay!

We three adults were very comfortable in the house. Excellent beds and towels, quiet, pleasant neighborhood with ocean view from the house and easy walk to the beach. Plenty of kitchen essentials, though we would have appreciated a small hand mixer or even egg beater. The handle on the French door needs to be tightened and reflective strips put on the stairs going to the driveway. A mirror over the dresser in the kids room would be nice. These are minor things. We'd definitely come again!

Incredible view! Home is old but well maintained. Everything works.

IF the mattresses in the upstairs and spare room were to be upgraded, then the whole visit would be 5+ stars and we would re-book in a heartbeat!. We also used the pullout sofa but only found a top sheet which we came across by accident but we never received a response as to where the rest of the bed linen was. For such a quiet area I was surprised that in the wee hours of an early morning there was a large loud group of young people throwing things at each other across the street on the bluff (turned out to be large candy bars). A Neighbor called authorities and ~20 mins later 5 Sheriff’s vehicles came and placed the violators in handcuffs and then took some of them away. Having shared that, during the entire visit we did see a private patrol service making regular rounds which was nice to have a sense of security. The next night, there was a quiet pop up wedding across from the house on the bluff. When the Bride and Groom got ready to leave their car wouldn’t start. Luckily we had a portable jumper with us and we were able to get them going on their way😇. Bottom line, let me know when you upgrade the other mattresses so we can come back for another family reunion, then everyone can get a restful night sleep, not just the occupant in the master bedroom (green room)🙏

Perfect location for a family getaway. Quick walk to the beach, about 6 minutes, and a short drive to the Monterey Aquarium or the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
We had kids with us on our stay and we’re pleasantly surprised by the kids toys in one of the rooms in a basket for them to play with.
Please keep in mind this is an older home so don’t expect it to be completely modern and updated. It was a perfect beach home with a lot of charm.
The host Alexia is super responsive and very sweet!
Will definitely be staying again!

Amazing beach views and lots of space!

We absolutely loved this property; the location is priceless. When we weren't on the beach, we spent every waking moment on the porch watching the ocean and the comings and goings of people walking the bluff with their dogs. Our little dogs loved the enclosed backyard too. The neighbors were really friendly which was a bonus! We will definitely be back!

This house was everything we hoped it would be: comfortable, overlooking the ocean, a nice walk to the beach, comfortable accomodations for all of us. The kitchen was well equipped and roomy enough to work together on meals. We loved having dinner outside on the upstairs balcony!

Great location, friendly neighbors, clean house, comfortable beds and accommodating well stocked kitchen. We all relaxed after visiting the aquarium and running the Wharf to Wharf race.
Will definitely be back. Thanks again for a enjoyable visit.

This house is spacious and well located for bluff views of the ocean, though beach access itself is a block away, down a hill, across the rail tracks, a problem if accessibility is an issue. House furnishings have a cute, beachy charm, very Northern Cali, but the house is in serious need of an update re sparky electrical sockets, broken floorboards in bedroom and rust in the very retro bathrooms (ugh, closed-in dark showers with plastic hoses). It feels like you are staying at an older relative's beach house which can be fun/charming but the price point is too high for the standard of the house ($400+ a night in summer). The request to strip beds but also to stay out of the garage was confusing. The town is off the beaten track and has ONE convenience store, so plan ahead. Strangely for such a quiet place it was quite busy as many cars pulled in and out all day and evening to visit the small bluff park across from the house.
