The house is equipped with bikes, beach chairs, sand toys and beach towels. West Cliff Drive offers white water views of boats, whales, dolphins, sea otters, pelicans and other wildlife. If you enjoy watching surfers catch the ultimate wave head to Steamers Lane near Lighthouse field. In the fall you will see 1000's of Monarch Butterflies during their annual migration. Walk or bike to westside cafes and restaurants, the Lighthouse, Natural Bridges, downtown, the wharf, bakeries and excellent breweries, wineries are a 10-minute bike ride away. Art openings in the neighborhood and a farmer's market each Saturday just .5 miles away. The downtown farmer's market is on Wednesdays. Santa Cruz is the ultimate place to find fresh organic produce. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is an 8 min drive or 2.4 miles down Delaware Ave.
The neighborhood has a few other vacation rentals mixed long term residents. It is a fairly quiet respectable neighborhood. Nice and clean in one of Santa Cruz's sought after neighborhoods. We ask our guest to follow the Santa Cruz noise ordinance of - No person shall between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m. make, cause, suffer or permit to be made any offensive noise (1) which is made within one hundred feet of any building or place regularly used for sleeping purposes, or (2) which disturbs, or would tend to disturb, any person within hearing distance of such noise.
Getting Around:
Uber, LIFT, city transportation and taxis, walking, and biking, JUMP Bike is just around the corner.
Other Things to Note:
Summer! Is a lot of fun in Santa Cruz. There is so much to do! It's a great time to go whale watching or stand up paddleboarding, go for a long bike ride along West Cliff Drive or take a surfing lesson. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk also has great specials during the week that will save you a lot of money without the crowds.
Fall is upon us this means that the beaches aren't packed with people and yet the weather is still warm and beautiful. Humpbacks are still in our bay and you may spot one breaching offshore or get on one of our local Whale Watching tours and you will see so much sea life. This is the season to enjoy watching Grey Whales from the shore as they migrate to Mexico with their calves. There are also many Monarch butterflies across the street at Natural Bridges State Park. You may also spot a few in our backyard.

We provide self check in and can be reached 24/7 for any questions or concerns. I live locally am happy to offer recommendations.

After walking from Natural Arches to Steamer Lane Supply for coffee and donuts, we investigated the area closer to our home base. We discovered Ferrell's Donuts, Cat and Cloud coffee, Fonda Feliz coffee and pastries and lots of interesting shops and restaurants. Three couoples had a great time sharing the home and the neighborhood and will return.
This was an excellent place to stay. It was clean and the host was quick to communicate Just a few minute walk to the beach was wonderful. My son in law also used to bike to get down to beach which was a nice option. It was refreshing and cozy.
Nice clean house. Plenty of room. Just steps to the ocean and park. Restaurants nearby. Easy communication. This house was great for what we needed.

Comfortable spacious rental
We enjoyed our stay with our family in Santa Cruz for a wedding. Not many true 4 bedroom homes for rent with 3 baths available in town. The property is well maintained, good wifi, tv, and the kitchen is well supplied with utensils. Janiece, the property manager, quickly responded to our questions and checked in with us to make sure everything was ok.
Perfect for a quick drive to Natural Bridges stare park to either watch for Monarch butterflies or play on the beach. Also great to get to West Cliff drive for a beautiful stroll along the coast.
The house was great. The kids' room is adorable, and we appreciated all of the bikes and toys left for us to enjoy. Great proximity to the beach, with a free State Park pass - thanks! The garbage was really full, and we didn't know whether to put the bins out on garbage day. We didn't know it was garbage day until we heard the trucks the next morning, so we left them even more full. It would have been nice to know about that. Also, The manager wasn't there upon arrival, as expected, to give me the new entry code. If the housekeepers hadn't still been there when we arrived, we would not have known how to get in the house.
Beds and bedding were comfortable, Lots of towels, liked all the beach stuff, and fire pit.
Couldn’t seem to get lamps in some bedrooms to work, ants in master bathroom, and some kitchen pans were old and rusty.
A nice location close to a small beach and nature area and only minutes from the Boardwalk area. The home is well equipped for a full family of both adults and children. The jogging stroller was particularly helpful and the bikes and beach toys welcome. We made good use of both the full kitchen and the gas BBQ. I expect that we will be back.
This house worked great for extended family - 4 bedrooms! Everything worked well and we loved the bikes! Janiece, our manager was super great to work with - she responded immediately to any questions. We totally enjoyed this house! Thank you!

Good Location--But.....
The location of this house is its greatest advantage. Unfortunately, the promised pass to Natural Bridges State Park was not honored. The existing pass had expired, and when we contacted the property manager, she promised she would deliver a current pass but that did not occcur. I would never rent a property again that did not allow you to wear shoes in the house which is the case with this property. The house could use some upgrades (plumbing is very noisy and the icemaker doesn't work).
Overall great experience.
Really enjoyed the area. House was very nice and clean. Would rent this property again

Wedding Weekend
We had a great time. The spacious house was everything I imagined it would be. My son's wedding was the center attraction. Wish I had more time to visit and enjoy the area. We especially enjoyed the fire pit in the evening.
