Family reunion
My family gather together annually in March to celebrate birthdays, update our busy lives and reconnect by sharing joyful memories while making new ones. We love to explore various areas of the west coast from Washington State down through the California coast and discovered the Santa Cruz beaches. This VRBO has been a superb location for running or walking along the coast and discovered great coffee houses, restaurants and bakeries in the neighborhood. We were impressed with the comfortable, clean and organized accommodations that included a hot tub, fire places, a grill on the upper deck with the view of the ocean and had the best sleep. It was absolutely a wonderful weekend. Thank you!

Fantastic property
We had an incredible time during our visit! The house was in a beautiful and safe neighborhood, close to the beach, and restaurants/ coffee/ the boardwalk. Lots of street parking. The house was very clean, well stocked, and well set up to spend lots of time together with family or friends. The only issue we had was that the keys were not inside the lockbox at check in, but there were alternate ways to get inside the house - all listed in the check in instructions - and the property manager was very responsive. I would gladly stay there again!

We made it work
There were six adults & we made it work. The view was BEAUTIFUL, the deck was nice, the fridge ice & water didn't work, rain came in ON THE FUTON in the master bedroom, blinds in master wouldn't close on one side so people could see in, you need young healthy people to use the master bedroom (15 steep stairs). No face towels in the house and FEW bath towels; we had to go to the store and buy some. No iron, the ironing board was rusted & took two people and 10 minutes to collapse, blinds downstairs were dirty. Living area was TIGHT, dining table is only for 4 & space SUPER TIGHT, showers in both bathrooms were updated but challenging to operate for some. Lockbox is old & I had to put the combination in 6-8 times before it opened, and the same with closing when I returned the keys.

Cute, cozy, well-appointed home in a great neighborhood
The house is comfortable and cozy with a well-appointed kitchen and bathrooms with some nice luxury fixtures. Fabulous location just a couple short blocks from the beach and Seabright neighborhood. There is a generous amount of gear and beach supplies for use---beach cruisers, umbrellas, chairs, paddle boards, kids sand toys etc etc. We had no trouble parking three vehicles. While not huge, the place comfortably accommodated our group of 5 ladies enjoying a long girls weekend. Check in and check out were easy. While we had no major issues/need to contact the owner during our stay, we all agreed that some minor attention to detail could have improved our stay, for example, the hot tub makes a funny/distracting chirping noise and some of the closets and shelving were a bit cluttered. The neighborhood was quiet and felt safe, but because there isn't any private yard space, you can feel somewhat 'exposed' ie the front porch is pretty close to the sidewalk and some of the downstairs windows open up to the street. Overall a great stay.

Lily, the owner was very responsive to any of our questions. I had to change the dates of our stay and Lily was very gracious in accommodating the change.

Wonderful beach week!
This house is just as lovely in person as the pictures show. And the owners are amazing people that made a personal visit to make sure we had a working ceiling fan; above and beyond for sure! The house was surface area clean, but the couch and throw pillows could use a cleaning (maybe it is end of summer smell). The proximity to the beach is absolutely amazing. The neighborhood is very cute, but not as quiet as we hoped. There was a lot of foot traffic late at night and the people all seemed to be shouting. But we are cranky homebodies so it could just be an “us” problem. The hot tub was sparkling clean and lovely. Everything you need to hit the beach or enjoy the neighborhood is in the garage. I really enjoyed this house and would rent here again.

Great home and location
When we arrived the house hadn’t been cleaned yet so we contacted Lily and she took care of it right away. I appreciate her responding quickly and making it right. The house is beautiful and in walking distance to Seabright beach. We enjoyed hanging out and eating meals on the deck. The house had a lot of equipment from the kitchen to the beach toys. The bikes were on the larger size for my kids (7, 10, 12) but we were able to use other supplies like the beach chairs and ladder ball game at the beach. It was walking distance to boardwalk and amusement area. We enjoyed our stay and would book again.

About the host

Hosted by Lily

Host profile image
My husband and I both grew up along the coast of Southern California and we both love everything that a quaint beach town has to offer. As soon as we found the SEABRIGHT beach area, we fell in love.. It is so bright and sunny, and we just loved the fresh air, the sound of the crashing ocean waves, the casual attitude, the friendly environment, and the vacation like feel. With the beach just a few steps away, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, many restaurants, and the harbor, all within such a short walking distance, it seemed like a perfect place for our family to build many, delightful and fantastic memories. So far it has been a perfect vacation place for us and such a great location and we hope you and your family enjoy this house and it's location as much as we have!

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy a house in the Seabright area because it is one of the nicest, sunniest areas in Santa Cruz. This little town is very well cared for and has such cute Victorian beach cottage homes. The beach has bathrooms and showers and a little ice cream stand and there are also lifeguard stations all along the beach making it a very safe and family friendly beach. Seabright beach also allows bonfires in the evening and this makes the beach a unique place. Also what made this location ideal for us is that the Santa Cruz beach boardwalk is only a short walking distance from the house as well as numerous restaurants and the harbor. There are lots of beautiful trails and walks from the house along the ocean front and the neighborhood is very friendly.

What makes this property unique

The location of this house is ideal! It is nicely situated between both the boardwalk and the harbor. The beach entrance is right at the bottom of our street, the boardwalk and the harbor are both only about a 5 minute walk away,. So, you have the beach, the harbor, AND an amusement area so close! It is such a special place and nested within a nice, clean and quiet neighborhood. The beach at the bottom of the street is a special beach. It is never a crowded or busy area because of where we are situated. Another thing that makes this particular area special is that Seabright beach allows bonfires at night. It is a special and neat experience to walk right down, to the beach, have a nice bonfire, roast hot dogs, or smores and chat with family and/or friends and then walk right home.

Another fun thing to do is to walk along the ocean front as you make your way to the harbor. Aldo's is a great restaraunt on the harbor to eat and/or have drinks and enjoy the beautiful scenery while watching the boats sailing in and out of the harbor. There are seals and pelicans and you can even take a walk all the way out to the lighthouse or rent boats or kayaks if you are feeling adventurous.

A museum is also at the bottom of the street with a large whale out front that is as fun spot for kids to climb and play.

One of our favorite things to do when we are there is to wake up, sit on the deck and to listen for the ocean. Then, go for nice little walk to a local coffee shop with our children. We grab coffee and breakfast and then head down to the beach. With our eldest son on his bike, and youngest in the wagon, we head over to the harbor and let the kids run down to the light house. As we make our way back we head to the beach, the kids romp and play in the sand and waves and we head back to the house for lunch. We end our day roasting hot dogs and marshmallows with a bonfire on the beach or a barbeque on the deck upstairs!
