Plenty of Room for the Family

Great location. The washer and dryer were convenient. We were able to walk to the beach. There are a few things that could be better. The dishes are old and chipped. There were ants all over the countertops. The master shower needs to be power washed. The dishwasher had problems. The lighting in the kitchen and dining area was too dark.

Quirky House Pet Friendly Dirty

The house is fun, neighborhood great. Lots of cleanliness issues - dirty toothbrush in one of the beds, filthy bath nonslip mat in downstairs bathroom, dirty skillet in cabinet, dirty knife in knife block and completely unresponsive host. VRBO even tried to reach her wo success and then said it was just an advertising service and could not do more. Ridiculous.

Annual Santa Cruz Family trip

We have stayed at this property on previous occasions. This is an annual trip for many years and generations. We tend to stay in the same area and are trying to find a new annual location. While we like the property, the beds have significantly gone down hill. The larger beds are no longer acceptable as it feels as though you are hitting box springs. Mold around the facets especially lower bathroom is not acceptable. The barbeque as in previous stay was really gross and unclean. Given the price per night, better mattresses and cleaner bathrooms, etc. are expected.

4th of July week

Everything was great, kids loved the house, location was perfect and the host was on point. My only feedback would be the bed in the Master bedroom was hard as a rock and after a week my wife and I felt like Fred and Wilma Flintstone which is the only reason why I didn’t give it 5 stars all around.

More time on the ocean

The house location is ideal for walking, biking to different beaches. Short bike ride to East Cliff pleasure point for surfing. House is fantastically uniquely Santa Cruz with contemporary amenities. We loved every day of our week stay!

Homey large home by the Sea

We enjoyed our visit in this spacious home with our daughter, son in law and teen age sons. It was also perfect for our Jack Russell. It has a large back yard, several porches, all with plenty of places to sit. Also a well stocked kitchen and big dining room table.

Perfect for dog owners

We go to Santa Cruz at the end of summer every year. This was my favorite property so far. The house is well stocked. Plenty of towels, the kitchen has all you need. There are 2 balconies that are lovely for morning coffee or evening wine. Wagon and beach toys in the garage. The house has multiple levels and stairs, but we appreciated some separation from our noisy boys. The beach is only 5 or so houses down. This is a very dog friendly beach, and our dogs loved it! The location is absolutely perfect. My only complaint is the bed in the master was a little firm for my taste. Overall, this is a large house with lots of room, and the location combined with being pet friendly is awesome!

Great Stay Christmas 2018.

Great location! Steps away from cliff views and close to walk on beaches. We spent Christmas with our family of 6 plus 2 kids. Plenty of beds and parking for our 3 vehicles. There are lots of stairs, which allows a nice view from the loft, but can be a challenge for older guests or babies. Great kitchen for cooking meals together. Would definitely return!

A wonderful place for our family to share, roomy, equipped, and welcoming

There were so many great surprises to this great home, such as being a stone's throw from the ocean, having a wet suit available, wood for an evening around the firepit, and a kitchen fit for baking a wedding cake. The beds were very comfortable, there were plenty of towels, and the house was very clean. There was one problem with the bottom drawer of the dishwasher that did not run smoothly. Thank you for a great stay. We would love to come back.

Very clean and comfortable home. With a responsive and flexible host!

My family and I stayed in Lisa's home for my sister Melanie's wedding. It was such a nice place to stay with easy access to the beach on a nice quiet street. Lisa was quick to respond to any questions I had and gave me all the info we needed to access the keys and home in general. Would highly recommend this as a vacation rental for other people looking for a nice place to stay in Santa Cruz.

About the host

Hosted by Lia Paradiso

Host profile image
I am an artist and after-school counselor living in San Francisco. My husband and I are starting to rent out this property. After growing up in Santa Cruz and San Jose I have now made SF my home. I have so many wonderful memories of Santa Cruz....the boardwalk, surfing, hanging out on the beach. To this day we still make frequent visits to Santa Cruz.

Why they chose this property

This house has been in my family since 1993, with the grandparents buying it as a vacation home. I spent a good part of my childhood at this house, but we eventually moved to San Jose. The house is not a permanent residence although we do stay there a couple times a year. Being this close to the beach is absolutely amazing. Taking morning or evening walks along the beach is a magical experience. The house is truly unique, being built in the 1970s and having cedar paneling throughout the house. It is a great house for families, friends or just a romantic couple's getaway. We try to keep with the original architect's design when updating the house and love the simple, clean design of the mid-century architecture. The decks are amazing to hang out on to bbq and watch the sunset and the garden is an oasis. Please note that if you are bringing a pet with you this needs to be approved in advance and there is a $100 pet fee. We welcome your furry companion.

What makes this property unique

The high ceilings, steep roofline, cedar paneling, open floor plan and midcentury design make this house so open and inviting. It just begs for you to relax and decompress. You can hear the ocean as you fall asleep! Just steps from the beach, you'll want to stay forever after you come back from the beach and use the outdoor shower, have a drink next to the outdoor fire pit on one of the two decks, cook dinner in the remodeled kitchen and cozy up next to the fireplace. Extensive movie and music collection, flat screen Tv in all three bedrooms. There are games a bike and even a long board to borrow. You can see the ocean and lights from the boardwalk from the front deck and loft area! This house has a great vibe and is tons of fun. the activetes you can do from this location are endless
