One of those homes you dream about buying one day

We had the most lovely time in this house. 9 of us in total and there was more than enough space for us all to spread out. We never left the house other than to visit the beach. The kitchen was ready to cook for a crowd. We BBQ’d, snuggled up for movies and talked about how we wished we lived there. Our host was so accommodating and her communication was 12/10. We will most definitely return to make more memories.

We live in Santa Cruz and had the best staycation at Gabriela's house. From 5 years to 65 years we all didn’t want to leave. Everything from check in to check out 5 stars and more. Thank you!

The best house on the best beach got even better

If you are going to Santa Cruz, Seabright Beach is the best - a great vibe and easy access to everything. No place else can you wake up to the sea lions, walk to the harbor, lunch on the pier, and enjoy the Boardwalk - all in the same day without taking your car out of the garage. If you are going to Seabright Beach, this is the best house period. We have rented four different homes in Seabright over the years, three multiple times (including here) and they are all great in their own way. But Gabriela's house is GREAT.

Best time ever

Best time ever as you know Gabrielle this house has meant so much to our family for the many vacations we’ve had there. It felt like home walking into the house such a wonderful feeling and feeling all of the memories of the past. We made some new memories that we won’t forget and thank you for always being the perfect hostess Gabriella hello if they find a pair of glasses reading glasses that are Gucci my daughter left them there and we would be willing to pay for them to send them to us if you could have the housekeepers check that would be wonderful thank you

Just wonderful!

I can't say enough good things about Vistamar! Everyone in our group (3 generations in all) enjoyed every aspect of the experience. We cannot thank Gabriela enough for allowing us the opportunity to stay in this historic, charming, large, sun-filled, unique, amenity-filled, home. We all had a blast!

The property at Seabright Beach was spectacular!

Our family enjoys an annual rental and this was a perfect location and home to accommodate our family needs. Peaceful place with lots of room for everyone. Gorgeous views and expansive home with comfortable beach themed decor. Gabriella was always available responding to questions! Our family loved just hanging at the house with every imaginable activity available for the various age ranges. We especially enjoyed the hot tub, was cleaned every two days and the game room top notch. Various bikes and beach toys and chairs readily available. We would definitely rent this property again!!

"Best place we ever stayed!"

That is a quote from one of our grandchildren, whom we have hosted for 17 years at "Camp Grampies". Most of them are grown now, but the tradition lives on. They love the beach, surfing, volleyball, shopping, especially in surf shops, and being together. This property was perfect for all that and more. We had a wonderful time, and kept discovering new things in the house, like lots of games to play, the fire pole, the outdoor bathroom, plus the fire rings on the beach were perfect for s'mores. A fabulous place!

As everyone states the location Is the absolute best and the house was a beautiful beach house. The only negatives were the BBQ is in really bad shape and one of the boogie boards was falling apart.
