About this house rental
Our Pleasure Point beach house is conveniently located halfway between the famous Santa Cruz boardwalk and the quaint village of Capitola. We are located three blocks from the ocean cliffs, with access to some of the best surfing and more private beaches in Santa Cruz. We are also a short walk to the cafes, restaurants, and surf shops on 41st Ave. Relax in our sunny and very private backyard. Enjoy the Adirondack chairs, outdoor shower, outdoor gas grill, dining on the patio, and soaking in the 6-person hot tub.
We continually refurbish our beach house inside and out, while keeping its original bungalow charm. We have top of the line appliances (LG fridge, front loader washer/dryer), an indoor/outdoor Bose stereo system, and we have high speed internet, local HDTV, and Netflix. There is room for 4 people to sleep on beds, and in addition, we have space for 1 adult on the couch, portable crib, and an aero bed. Our home is super family and kid friendly, and equipped with a lot of what you would want for a family vacation at the beach such as cruiser bikes, kids bikes, helmets, a red wagon, boogie boards, beginner surf boards, beach chairs/umbrella, plus hammock in the backyard.
Pleasure Point is our favorite place on the California Central Coast to enjoy the beach and the beautiful surrounding areas, from redwood forests to wine country. We look forward to sharing our beach house with you!

We’ve been coming for years and it’s always the best place! Highly recommend!

This is the perfect location in my honest opinion- it’s the best neighborhood in Santa Cruz! The house is welcoming and stocked with everything you need. Eric and Carol are excellent hosts and quick to respond with anything we needed. Our dog loved the yard and her daily walks to the beach and it was such a treat to have her with us. Vacationing with your dog is the best!

The house is beautiful in a great location in Pleasure point neighborhood! It has everything you could want for entertaining: hot tub, gas grill, Traeger smoker, fireplace, great living room, outdoor dining. Open space fenced in is perfect for dogs.
The pictures are accurate, but it’s better in person.
Owner was extremely kind and responsive.
Thank you for an amazing stay, it’s one my family will remember!

I stayed here with my 20 year old daughter for a week while we moved her into an apartment downtown. We came from across country and after a long travel day did not enjoy having to track down the property manager for the door code, which we got after the 3:00 check in time. This is u professional. A couple of things about the home: all of the windows were unlocked when we arrived. Additionally the door from the master to the backyard was broken. It did not lock and the indoor handle fell completely off when touched. Both of these things made me question the safety. Finally, there was an ant problem in the bathroom- luckily owner had ant spray available which I used several times. There were cobwebs in corners inside - made me wonder how clean it was. The home is old and while everything works, some areas are in clear need of replacing.
With that out of the way, lots of good too! House felt spacious and beds were comfy. Awesome to have driveway parking! The yard is amazing. I have stayed in Santa Cruz several times and this house by far has the most “amenities”. The hot tub was clean and spacious. There were loads of bikes and boards. Nice clean laundry room with full sized appliances. Great water pressure in shower. Location cannot be beat. Super quiet and private due to the thoughtful fencing and landscaping.
While I loved the location and yard, I likely would not stay here again. Solid communication and property ate a must for me.

We instantly felt at home and relaxed when we got to Camp Oso! Great location and stocked with everything we needed. We are a family of 5 and there was plenty of room to spread out. The hot tub was lovely and super clean. The hammock and porch swing added to the relaxed vibe and the lawn games were great for some family fun. Nightly walks with our dog along the cliffs was a highlight along with surfing down in Capitola. Some of our favorite restaurants were in walking distance and shopping is always fantastic along 41st street. We can’t wait to come back to Camp Oso!

Pleasure Point perfection
Location, location, location! This great little beach shack is located within easy walking distance of East Cliff walkway, beaches, surfing, coffee, food, shops, fitness and more. We loved being able to get to everything by foot or by the bikes provided on site. The beach house is small, charming and homey. We enjoyed the outdoor shower and clean hot tub. Any questions we had were quickly and patiently answered. We hope to retire to the beach life someday and this gave us a perfect taste of what that would be like. And yes, it was perfection!

We loved everything about this house. The owner is awesome, the neighborhood is so darling with lots of kids and super close beach access, and it's very close to lots of great dining and the Capitola Village shops. Can't wait to stay again!

We love this bungalow for our annual surf vacation
We’re a surfing family of 5 and this bungalow has everything we need — a hot outdoor shower, hot tub and close proximity to our favorite surf breaks. We also love having access to the beach cruisers so we can tool around town like locals. We look forward to coming back!

Wonderful location!
The backyard is amazing with an outdoor shower, hot tub and hammock. It’s a dream! And everything you could need for the beach with bikes, surf boards, beach equipment, etc. This house had very comfortable beds! The master felt more like a full bed than a queen, but still very comfy! We never used the indoor shower, looked very small and we’re 6ft so we would have had to bend to get our heads to get wet, but pretty typical for beach houses in this area. Location is amazing, quick walk to watch the surfers at pleasure point and great coffee shops. Love the fenced in yard (front and back) especially with our dog and toddler. Would love to come back!
The owner was very nice, but check in was a little confusing. The property manager said to text for the front door code (not sure why they wouldn’t just give it to us), and then we couldn’t get a hold of her and it was past check in time. Overall great stay!

Fantastic.
My wife and I loved this place. There are lots of bikes and surfboards and an out door shower for when you come back from surfing... but to be honest- we loved the hot tub. The house is cozy and has everything you want. Couple blocks from great coffee, couple of blocks from Pleasure Point. It's in a terrific and quiet neighborhood that is amazing to walk around.

Violas birthday holiday
Very nice outdoor accommodations with front yard and backyard usable for young children. Outdoor seating for eating was very comfortable. son-in-law and father-in-law relaxed in the hot tub. Tons of toys for the young kids to play with. Kitchen, living room and bedrooms worked perfect for our family size. Close to coffee shops and the surf, beaches, science, center walking distance to tacos that were delicious. Very enjoyable would love to come back and make this an annual trip.

Our family enjoyed the outside shower/the spa. Loved all UC Bear trinkets.
We enjoyed our stay extremely, just to let you know of a few things:
The house had a slight gas smell, when we arrived and the stove was warm like if it was left on, texted management they said it was checked by PG&E so we were fine after knowing that.
The hammock was torn from one side we didn’t get to enjoy it, afraid if we sat on it the hammock would tear completely off.
The stove top filter, should be replace or cleaned, it in bad shape. A lot of build up lint, dirt and grease. Pretty gross... I did let management know about the above issues.
The bunk beds are not comfortable at all, too hard for teens, kids preferred to sleep on the couch.
Could not get the outside speakers to work either. Not a big deal but it would have been fun to have the music playing thru the house.
These are minor details that are easily fixed. I would love to stay here again. We did have a blast!

Fantastic beach house for surfers
My family of 5 stayed here for 5 wonderful nights and we can't wait to return. My 3 kids (ages 12, 10 and 8) absolutely loved this bungalow. We walked to our favorite surf break every morning, and returned to the wonderful hot shower and hot tub every afternoon. Now we can't have it any other way! The house had beach cruisers for all 5 of us, and we felt like locals riding along the coast and to the nearby coffee shops. We had everything we could ever want for our surf vacation. The owner very thoughtfully placed notes and instructions throughout the house, which made it easy to navigate. It was comfortable, clean and perfect for a family surf vacation. We will book it again next year.

Great family getaway
Our family really enjoyed our stay here. Lots of fun was had in the yard, relaxing in the hammock or hot tub, listening to tunes, and we loved the close location to awesome cafes, restaurants and fun attractions nearby.
The only downsides were that we had to give up cooking with the super cool stove due to how long it took to heat things up (we have 3 very hungry, anxious little ones), and the grill that we were looking forward to using was not in a useable state. The shower is also tiny, which was challenging with little ones. Otherwise, we had a really wonderful time! The owner and property manager were super friendly and communicative, as was the hot tub maintenance guy.

Graduation Weekend
This property had something for everyone.
My teenage daughters enjoyed the beach cruisers, it’s proximity to the beach, the hot tub. The grandparents enjoyed the beautiful bedroom with the French doors that led out to the backyard. The fact that it could accommodate us all, without the need to climb stairs. As well as the quiet neighborhood. My wife and I enjoyed its location, the kitchen, the amenities. We’re looking forward to our next trip to Santa Cruz. ( Even if our daughter will no longer be attending the university)

Great location & amenities!
We chose this property because of the location to the beach and boardwalk, along with the enclosed back and front yards since we have 2 small children. The beach was in walking distance but not much area for "sand play" (but still beautiful) and boardwalk was a short drive. The front and back yards are immaculate and we spent most of our time outdoors enjoying the grass and hot tub!

Cute bungalow with excellent location
We were a party of four adults and a dog. The house is very well situated, just a few blocks from the beach. It has a nice driveway that fits two cars. The hot tub was a nice treat at the end of the day. I was concerned upon arrival when I saw the beautiful antique stove, but it worked perfectly! We had a nice thanksgiving weekend here and we look forward to returning in the future.

Great for family!!
Great location, minutes walk to the beach. Restaurants and shopping near by. My whole family enjoyed the bike rides to the beach and around the neighbors. Hot tub was great after beach time or just to relax. Bungalow is very private front and back. Would defiantly like to come back.
