Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Carrie Walton

We are a group of three families & long time friends that purchased the house together. Water sports enthusiasts, we can't get enough of Santa Cruz! Santa Cruz is a second home away from our real lives in Silicon Valley.
We are happy to share our beach home with you and your family!

Why they chose this property
We love Sunny Cove beach and the wonderful neighborhood! House is comfortably laid out, many conveniences and attractions close by. House's unique history appealed to us. Named after Ansel Adams as he was one of the friends of the original owner. The two friends worked at a local tannery (making camera cases of course!) and often smoked cigars in the basement. We like to think that Ansel's creative spirit still lives on in the home.
What makes this property unique
Can't beat walking to the beach with young kids and avoiding the traffic on highway 17! Steps away from one of the best (if not THE best!) boogie boarding beach in Santa Cruz.
