About this house rental

Ocean front on the West side of Santa Cruz, also known as “the new hip side” and the “heart of Santa Cruz surf culture”, this home captures the magical essence of all of Santa Cruz right in one place. The location and views of the Monterey Bay are extraordinary. Ocean views from several rooms, new hot tub w/ ocean views, fire pit, private outdoor shower and an unforgettable night view of beautiful lights from the Santa Cruz Wharf and the historic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, both a short stroll away. The Wharf is known for dining, nightlife, viewing sea lions, gift shops, fishing and boat tours.
Cowell’s Beach/Cove, just below the home to the left, is great for surfing (beginner-novice), boogie boarding, paddle-boarding, swimming, or just relaxing.
Just to the right is the world- class surf spot Steamer Lane (for the advanced surfer) and the nostalgic Santa Cruz Surf Museum at Light House Point. Steamer Lane for decades now has been the host of many surf contests including the Coldwater Classic. Enjoy a jog, bike or stroll waterfront down the 2 mile path of West Cliff Dr. that stretches from the Wharf to Natural Bridges State Park. Natural Bridges is a hot spot for Monarch Butterflies and tide pools.

The outdoor enthusiast can also enjoy land sports such as mountain biking, hiking, skateboard parks, Segway rentals, tennis, basketball and pump tracks! The Santa Cruz Harbor is only 5 min away for a fun filled day of sport fishing or sailing. Take a private or public sailing excursion aboard the large Chardonnay 2. The Chardonnay 2 offers different types of charters including a Sunset Charter, Champagne Brunch Charter, Ecology & Whale Watching Charter and many more.

Golfers can enjoy the nearby DeLaveaga or Pasatiempo Golf Course.

The nearby unique Downtown Santa Cruz is known for it’s one-of-a-kind shops, yoga classes, spas, restaurants, music scene, art tours, cinemas and one of the most eclectic farmer’s markets in the area. People watching is at it’s best!

The West side of town boasts many restaurants, breweries, wineries, great bakeries, farmer’s market and lots of sunshine! A great location for the whole family to enjoy and downtown is only a few minutes away as well!

The home itself is very spacious with plenty of room for everyone to relax or dine. The garage made fun room is great for the kids while adults get time to themselves..Enjoy an evening fire with a glass of wine on the cozy sofa or cuddle chair, a BBQ at sunset on the side porch, or morning coffee on the front patio!

We introduced our grandchildren to Santa Cruz! Our children came here as littles and we hit all the sights! From the aquarium, golfing, the boardwalk, Capitola beach and just relaxing on the porch! We love staying on West Cliff for the fabulous location, the views and convenience! We will definitely be back next year!

This house is in a great location with an amazing view!! We loved the fire pit at night and enjoyed how comfortable the living area is. The game room was fun too. However, the house and appliances are all outdated and though we enjoyed ourselves, we probably would not stay there again unless they lowered the rental price. For that price point the house should be more updated. Also, the bathroom toilet off the kitchen kept running just FYI.
