A Touch of Zen
If I could dream of a home near the beach, this would check all the boxes. You are welcomed through the garden gate with a beautiful flowers and a garden filled with hummingbirds and butterflies. The home is warmly decorated in a beach theme and appointed with everything you need for your stay. Cathy thought of everything! There is a big updated kitchen, wood burning fire place and firepit on the patio. Bikes, wetsuits and board games in the garage. Each room had amazing plants or fresh flowers, that added a touch of zen. A short walk down the block and you are at the stairs to the beach, the first day we spotted whales, seals and an otter. A friendly neighborhood with an established quiet zone starting at 10 p.m. We were very relaxed and slept soundly during the quiet nights. Cathy provided helpful communications and updates as needed. The location is a short distance to the Boardwalk, Seabright, Twin Lakes, Pleasure Point and Capitola, where we attended the Arts & Wine Festival. We look forward to returning for another relaxing weekend or with our kids and grandkids to explore more!

Another excellent stay!
We've stayed here I think 4 or 5 times in the last several years. Cathy and Andre are amazing hosts. Great communication. Never any issues. Perfect location to get to the beach, especially since you do not have to drive and deal with parking. Would definitely recommend to absolutely everyone! Looking forward to our next visit!

Perfect home away from home
From the moment you drive up you feel at home. It. Is so welcoming…,the white picket fence and the beautiful flowers. The home is equipped with everything you need and more. It is within walking distance of the 26th Ave beach. This is an especially special location as my husband lived on 26th Ave as a child. We enjoyed our week and plan to return!!! Thank you Andre and Cathy for a perfect getaway.

Great couple days
We enjoyed the couple nights we spent here. Home was clean and had all we needed for cooking meals. Home was very inviting and beautiful with all the flowers. Very well maintained. Cathy was very easy to work with and very responsive to everything. Felt a little overwhelmed initially reading all the rules (e.g. seemed to imply we had to have all dishes cleaned and put away before we left), but quick confirmation with Cathy reassured us we just needed to load the dishwasher. Proximity to Target and coffee shops was nice. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay here again!

Wonderful stay
Great location and very well maintained property. Plenty of real green plants and flowers that make you feel at home. I am most impressed by the flower pot found on the kitchen counter top, first I thought they were fake flowers, then I realized they were beautifully arranged bunch of fresh herbs, it has rosemary, mint, thyme, basil and others that I can't name of. They are all fresh! It is simply amazing. To top it off, the flower pot is painted with some of the herbs, how approporicate!

Bright Beach Cottage with beautiful yard
Stayed at Cathy's place for Spring Break with my sister and two nieces. The house is lovely and clean with a beautiful backyard and front yard full of flowers. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor shower as well as the beach bikes. Fresh flowers, herbs and lemons were a special touch in the house! Cathy was wondering to work with and the neighborhood is close to Pleasure Poknt area.

Best Week Ever!
This home gave us all the comfort and rest we needed. I love to cook, and the kitchen was fabulous. All the beautiful flowers and plants, bird feeders, hot tub, hammock were so comforting. Thank you thank you for all of the love, care and work you put into your home and for sharing it with other people. Could you please double check that the directions address says 354 because I think it says 350. Marcus went in your driveway at first.

Christmas with Family
Our son, his wife and baby daughter live in Capitola. Our younger son and his fiancée flew down from Oregon to join us (we flew in from Texas) The house was beautifully decorated for Christmas which delighted us and our granddaughter. We were able to prepare and serve family meals so the family members living in Capitola could join us as well. The house worked perfectly for our needs - sleeps 4 people but accommodates 6 adults plus a baby for meals and family time. We were very pleasantly surprised that there was a highchair stored in the garage. While it’s one bath, there’s a pocket door between the shower and toilet; this allows other family members t use the sink and mirror as needed The owners were Very responsive and while there were a few requests concerning the use of the house, there weren’t as many as we’ve experienced elsewhere.

Comfortable with all the modern amenities
This property was a really great stay for our family. We were traveling with an 18 month old and it had everything and more to keep her safe and entertained with special toys. The place was spotless- so clean and very comfortable. The kitchen is great if you are looking to do some cooking. It is fully stocked with every possible piece of kitchen equipment you can imagine. Overall, the place was very cozy and comfortable. We were able to relax and the neighborhood was walkable and safe. Great coffee shops just up the street (cat and cloud).

About the host

Hosted by Cathy Pieratt

Host profile image
Andre has lived in Santa Cruz most of his life and I have lived here since 1987. We enjoy living in this area because there is so much to offer. We go to the beach as often as possible. We also have fun riding our bikes around town to the many wonderful places to see. Water sports are definitely in the mix of our daily lives. Surfing, sailing, outrigger paddling and stand up paddling in Santa Cruz are popular things to do.

Why they chose this property

We built the house for ourselves to live in and lived there for eight years until we grew out of it when our kids needed their own rooms.The house is perfectly set up for small families or a couple. We thought it would be a great vacation house and it has worked out nicely for our guests. Many of them return year after year and it is fun see their families grow.

What makes this property unique

The house is located a block up from one of the best beaches in Santa Cruz. Our neighborhood is unique and close knit. Most of the neighbors know each other and we gather for sunsets almost every night. It is close to stores, restaurants, coffee spots and shopping. Our beach is a popular surf spot when the swell is up. We have many varieties of animal and sea life right off and on the shore.
It has a deluxe Dimension One spa, outdoor shower, hammock, beautifully landscaped yard, privacy plantings surrounding the property, bikes and boogie boards, wetsuits and lots of kid sand toys.
