Pleasure Point

We had a wonderful stay for two weeks. This spacious house was comfortable, well equipped with a great fenced in back yard and outdoor hot tub. The house manager couldn’t have been more helpful and attentive. Great location about 7 minutes walk to the beach

This is the 2nd time we've stayed here for a guys trip to go mountain biking up in the Santa Cruz woods, and it has everything we need. The beds are comfy, the kitchen is well stocked, the couches are roomy enough for the 4 of us, and there's an amazing hot tub that hits all the spots you need after beating yourself up all day.It's close enough to walk or ride to dinner spots, to watch the surf, or get back on the road, but on a quiet dead end street which keeps the noise and rifraf down.See you again next fall!

Wonderful home

Great location in Pleasure Point. Beautiful landscaping; well-maintained. Quiet; calm, tranquil. It keeps eternal whisperings around Desolate shores, and with its mighty swell Guts twice ten thousand caverns until the spell Of Hecate leaves them their old shadowy sound. Often tis in such gentle temper found That scarcely will the very smallest shell Be moved for days from whence it sometime fell When last the winds of heaven were unbound. Oh ye, who have your eyeballs vexed and tired, Feast them upon the wideness of the sea. Oh ye, whose ears are dinned with uproar rude, Or fed too much with cloying melody, Sit ye near some old cavern's mouth, and brood Until ye start, as if the sea nymphs quired!

Great location, quirky property

Good location by a small beach, it’s more a surf beach then one small kids can swim at. Overall house was good but kitchen and dining room were lacking if you’re going to cook while there. Comfy beds and couch. Nice hot tub.
