About this property

Rustic Modern 1BR in Sunny Seabright

Our place is a unique style duplex with this 1 bedroom ( 633 sq ft) unit located at street level while the other unit sits above and is a 3 bedroom. Both with separate entrance. If there are guest staying above you will hear foot steps and water. We ask those guests to be minful of footfall. The apartment has an open floor plan with newly remodeled kitchen which opens up to the living room area. It is very comfortable for 2 guests, or a family of 4. To accomodate extra guests, there is a folding bed with memory foam pad and/or 18" queen size auto inflate air mattress. New bathroom and tub with grab bars installed. The bedroom has a king size bed, sits at the opposite end of the space, near but not connected to the bathroom. Our beach place has been in our family for over 50 years and although we have always found it cozy, a recent remodel adds extra light and comfort, very enjoyable. We love that you can hear the roar of the Big Dipper Roller Coaster, the shouts from the riders, barking sea lions and the occasional crashing of the surf. Also walk to the Beach and Boardwalk and to our favorite restaurants.

This adorable cottage is well appointed and super clean. Nice king sized bed was comfortable. The location was great within walking distance to the boardwalk and other local attractions. It was the perfect place for our long weekend.

Fantastic

We frequently visit our son who lives in Santa Cruz, and we've typically stayed in hotels. We decided to try a Vrbo this time, and are so glad we did. This home is just lovely. It's beautifully decorated with beach and seashore theme appointments. We just loved the vibe. The home is spotless and has everything you can think of that you might need for a beach vacation. This is a spot that is ideal for a small family. It's a very short walk to both the beach and the boardwalk. You can faintly hear the excitement of the roller coaster! The bed was comfy, and the living room and kitchen area are nicely laid out. There is an very nice outside sitting area that we didn't use because the weather was chilly during our stay, but it would be a nice spot for a glass of wine by the fire pit. Communication with the host was outstanding. I highly recommend this spot. We'll definitely be back.

Seabright Cottage

What a beautiful little apartment! Up-dated with modern amenities and so clean........spotless! The space was perfect for my husband and I as we visited the area - even stayed in one night and had our own little dinner while we watched "The Lost Boys" movie which was filmed nearby. The owner Susan was the perfect host, always staying connected and answered any questions we had via text. The bed and linens were so comfy, even the bathroom had an amazing shower. Never had time to use the little outdoor space, but how relaxing it looks with the mini fire pit and patio lights! Would recommend it for small parties....living room area is very large, but perfect for a couples get away. Thank you so much Susan for sharing your family's legacy and renting to us!

Pristine, cozy and beautiful house

It is a very beautiful cozy house, we loved our 2 day stay and wished we could have booked a longer stay. The property owner was very easy to communicate, she sent emails about the details about the property, check in details and everything regarding other rules. I will definitely recommend this place.

Eager to return

A just about perfect little apartment. Snug, but very comfortable for two—and big enough to accommodate a half dozen relatives who swung by for a couple of hours and a bite to eat. Full of thoughtful and excellent extras. Very quiet neighborhood, very convenient to the main town and boardwalk.

Great location in Santa Cruz

What a fun little place with an easy walk to the Boardwalk! Our teen slept on the pull-out and the two adults had the king bed. Great accommodations and I enjoyed sipping coffee on the outdoor patio. Our host was quick to respond during our stay and the listing is clean with cool modern decor. For the area, a covered carport was a bonus too.

Excellent stay at a lovely apartment

We really enjoyed our stay at Susan's place, which was our last stop on a long California road trip. The apartment was very bright, fresh and modern, with lots of thoughtful touches such as snacks, plenty of towels and a bottle of wine. We also really appreciated the warm welcome from Susan's family members. The place is located very close to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, and within easy walking distance of several beaches. Highly recommended!

Perfect beach getaway with the teens

This beach bungalow is just immaculate, modern while still being cozy and charming, and perfectly situated! The owner is so gracious, and she has thought of every detail to make your stay as comfortable as possible. I took my 16-year-old daughter and her 2 best friends for a Santa Cruz getaway. The kids divided their time equally between the beach and the Boardwalk, all within easy walking distance from the bungalow. They also ubered to downtown Santa Cruz for dining and shopping. I barely had to lift a finger! While the kids were out doing their thing, I read, slept, walked around the Seabright neighborhood, went down to the beach for a view, treated myself to lunch at the Seabright deli and dinner from Tramonti, and sipped wine back at the bungalow. A perfect getaway for mom and kids alike! We all had a wonderful mini-vacay!

Perfect beach/boardwalk location

This was the perfect place for a vacation with my husband and 5 year old son. We were able to walk to 2 beaches and the boardwalk. There are so many other attractions close by as well (a short drive). The place was stocked with toys, books, 2 smart TV’s, beach toys, and plenty of kitchen and bathroom amenities to make our stay super relaxing and comfortable. We will definitely be staying here on our next Santa Cruz visit!!

About the host

Hosted by Susan Bertilacchi Green

Host profile image
I am the one of the 2nd generation of family vacationing in Santa Cruz. First my grandparents who immigrated from Italy came here for their vacations bringing my father and his siblings. Though my grandparents and father are no longer here, the tradition lives on in our children and theirs. We enjoy the place being near the Boardwalk and walking down to Seabright beach. The biggest change in the neighborhood is the addition of some amazing restaurants, Tramonte's, the Brewery,
(now the Seabright Social) Betty's Burgers, Enfar Pizza and La Posta. As a child those did not exist, only Days Market and a hot dog place. (Days is still there!!!) As a teen, my friends who had families that vacationed on the beach in Aptos would always stay at our place because of the easy access to all that the Boardwalk has to offer and because often in the summer there was sunshine in Seabright.

Why they chose this property

Those who have been staying at our place over the years say that they love it because of the location and comfort. They like walking to the various interest points, (wharf, harbor, light houses) restaurants, bars, or getting around on a bike is really fun. They enjoy sitting out on the patio or relaxing inside. The neighborhood is usually pretty quiet unless it is the summer and people are there to vacation then there is a lot of fun energy. We love that we are close to the Boardwalk but not right down next to it. Crossing the newly remodeled train trestle over the San Lorenzo river is a short distance. You can still hear the Big Dipper Roller Coaster, barking of sea lions from the wharf, and when the surf is right, the crashing of the waves.

What makes this property unique

The keyless entry is nice so that you don't have to worry about sharing keys, losing keys. You can park a car off the street or in the carport. Of course again, the location is great being so close to everything fun in Santa Cruz. Since our family also enjoys the place, we try and keep a variety of amenities available that are for your use as well. Our place has been completely remodeled to make it aesthetically pleasing as well as comfortable, with all new furniture, lighting, kitchen, bathroom, flooring.
