About this property
Rustic Modern 1BR in Sunny Seabright
Our place is a unique style duplex with this 1 bedroom ( 633 sq ft) unit located at street level while the other unit sits above and is a 3 bedroom. Both with separate entrance. If there are guest staying above you will hear foot steps and water. We ask those guests to be minful of footfall. The apartment has an open floor plan with newly remodeled kitchen which opens up to the living room area. It is very comfortable for 2 guests, or a family of 4. To accomodate extra guests, there is a folding bed with memory foam pad and/or 18" queen size auto inflate air mattress. New bathroom and tub with grab bars installed. The bedroom has a king size bed, sits at the opposite end of the space, near but not connected to the bathroom. Our beach place has been in our family for over 50 years and although we have always found it cozy, a recent remodel adds extra light and comfort, very enjoyable. We love that you can hear the roar of the Big Dipper Roller Coaster, the shouts from the riders, barking sea lions and the occasional crashing of the surf. Also walk to the Beach and Boardwalk and to our favorite restaurants.

This was our 2nd stay at Susan’s place in Seabright and we, again, had a wonderful time. The location is walkable to so many things and the unit is so well appointed, with everything you would need and nice extras like a bottle of wine and snacks for the kids. Susan is easy to get ahold of and very quick to respond. We can’t wait to stay again and hope to make it a tradition. Thank you Susan for sharing your family’s wonderful house!
Very clean and comfortable space that worked great for a ladies weekend. Kitchen was well stocked and the snacks were appreciated! Susan was communicative and helpful. We’d definitely stay here again.
We really enjoyed this condo and its location. It’s a 5 minute walk to the boardwalk and there are good coffee shops and restaurants within walking distance or a short drive.
The check in and out process was easy. We will be looking to stay here again.
This adorable cottage is well appointed and super clean. Nice king sized bed was comfortable. The location was great within walking distance to the boardwalk and other local attractions. It was the perfect place for our long weekend.
Perfect for our little family. Communication with the owners was quick and easy. Great location for us. Walking distance to the boardwalk & restaurants. Would love to stay here again!
Nothing but good things to say about this rental. Susan was a great host, the rental was nice and clean, and the location was great! 10 minutes to the beach and 10 minutes to the boardwalk.
This place is absolutely perfect in every way. I can’t stress enough how great the location was 8 minute walk to the boardwalk, 10 to Seabright beach. Everything we needed was there. Beach chairs, sand toys, parking. The bbq and outdoor area is amazing. We will be back!
Had the family stay here for a quick weekend getaway to Santa Cruz. Great communication with host prior to arrival. Perfect location of the small cozy apartment as it’s a few min. walk to the boardwalk and nearby walking distance to food spots. Definitely will be returning.
It is a very beautiful cozy house, we loved our 2 day stay and wished we could have booked a longer stay. The property owner was very easy to communicate, she sent emails about the details about the property, check in details and everything regarding other rules. I will definitely recommend this place.
What a fun little place with an easy walk to the Boardwalk! Our teen slept on the pull-out and the two adults had the king bed. Great accommodations and I enjoyed sipping coffee on the outdoor patio. Our host was quick to respond during our stay and the listing is clean with cool modern decor. For the area, a covered carport was a bonus too.
We had a great stay. Myself, Husband and 4 year old really enjoyed the space. Has all the amenities you could need and there was complimentary snacks. Perfect location, walking distance to the Boardwalk or a few shops , cafe and corner store. Great communication and check in / check outs. I have nothing but positive things to say.

About the host
Hosted by Susan Bertilacchi Green
I am the one of the 2nd generation of family vacationing in Santa Cruz. First my grandparents who immigrated from Italy came here for their vacations bringing my father and his siblings. Though my grandparents and father are no longer here, the tradition lives on in our children and theirs. We enjoy the place being near the Boardwalk and walking down to Seabright beach. The biggest change in the neighborhood is the addition of some amazing restaurants, Tramonte's, the Brewery, (now the Seabright Social) Betty's Burgers, Enfar Pizza and La Posta. As a child those did not exist, only Days Market and a hot dog place. (Days is still there!!!) As a teen, my friends who had families that vacationed on the beach in Aptos would always stay at our place because of the easy access to all that the Boardwalk has to offer and because often in the summer there was sunshine in Seabright.
Why they chose this property
Those who have been staying at our place over the years say that they love it because of the location and comfort. They like walking to the various interest points, (wharf, harbor, light houses) restaurants, bars, or getting around on a bike is really fun. They enjoy sitting out on the patio or relaxing inside. The neighborhood is usually pretty quiet unless it is the summer and people are there to vacation then there is a lot of fun energy. We love that we are close to the Boardwalk but not right down next to it. Crossing the newly remodeled train trestle over the San Lorenzo river is a short distance. You can still hear the Big Dipper Roller Coaster, barking of sea lions from the wharf, and when the surf is right, the crashing of the waves.
What makes this property unique
The keyless entry is nice so that you don't have to worry about sharing keys, losing keys. You can park a car off the street or in the carport. Of course again, the location is great being so close to everything fun in Santa Cruz. Since our family also enjoys the place, we try and keep a variety of amenities available that are for your use as well. Our place has been completely remodeled to make it aesthetically pleasing as well as comfortable, with all new furniture, lighting, kitchen, bathroom, flooring.
