About this property
Charming Beach Front Home on the Island
Unharmed by the recent storms! Stairs to the beach are open.
*I recommend purchasing travelers insurance due to potential shutdowns *
We want you to know that we're doing our part to help our guests stay. Here are some ways we are helping:
-Cleaners wear gloves and masks
-Cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched surfaces before you check in
-All sheets, towels, and pillow cases are washed and bleached between guests
-Duvet covers of all comforters are washed between guests
-Disinfectant cleaning supplies and wipes are provided
Welcome to the perfect family vacation destination! Our charming 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom house is RIGHT on the beach. No walking across the street or driving to get to the beach. You can watch the children play in the sand while you relax and play cards from the deck. We are the only house on the "Island" strip with a gated deck. It's the perfect house for a memorable vacation, family reunion, or just an oceanic escape! The same families have been visiting our home for over 15 years and continue to bring the next generations for a truly memorable family tradition.
This 1930's Greek styled home offers 4 spacious bedrooms that all have views of the ocean, a cozy fireplace to keep you warm during the winter season, a large entertainment deck downstairs, and a more intimate deck upstairs. Included is also a washer/dryer, dishwasher, 2 televisions with DVD players, and free WIFI.
We do not advertise on Craigslist. If you see an advertisement for our home on Craigslist it is a scam.
House Rules: This is not a party house. Quiet hours start at 10pm. It's very important to stay off the public walkway, rock seawall, and neighbors patio.
Rio Del Mar Beach: View the dolphins and seals swimming up and down the ocean during the strolls on the beach. Bring your binoculars for whale watching! Other activities include boogie boarding, surfing, swimming, sea shelling, and building sand castles. It is the perfect playground for everyone!
Walking to shops:Walking distance to the Market, coffee shop, deli, and Venus Restaurant. A short drive to grocery stores and theaters.
Places to visit: Down Town Santa Cruz, local golf course, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Carmel, Monterey Bay Aquarium, Pebble Beach Golf Course, Santa Cruz Harbor
