Nice Getaway in Santa Cruz
My family and I enjoyed staying at this property. Our girls loved the bunnies and spending time at the outdoor pool and jacuzzi. The location was great, close to everything, including the boardwalk, groceries and the Marine Discovery Center. The house is within a few min walk to the shoreline and we walked to the Natural Bridges beach and had a great time there. Vik was super responsive and accommodating. The house was spacious and had everything we needed.

Family reunion
Loved the rabbits snd especially the therapeutic swim pool. The kids loved being outside snd so did we. Perfect distance from the ocean. Loads of sitting areas to enjoy with the one with the big screen most popular. I would definitely recommend it.

Four paws up
We stayed for a week with 4 adults, a 4-year-old, and a dog. The house was super clean, and beautifully appointed on the inside. We spent a lot of time in the back yard, which is a very nice deck with various seating spots, and a small pool (was perfect for our 4-year-old to play in). The home is a walk away from a couple beaches, and a short drive away from the Santa Cruz boardwalk and wharf (and a bunch more beaches). The owner was responsive and flexible with questions that we had. Everybody had a good time. Would stay again!

Stellar Stay! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We stayed at Victoria’s lovely, stylish, well-appointed home for 16 nights due to home repairs. So nice to come back from working on our own house to a hot tub and swim spa. We all loved our “staycation”… especially since we also live on the Westside. So convenient. Thanks again! ✌️

About the host

Hosted by Victoria Forshaw

Host profile image
We are an Australian/English family now living in Santa Cruz, California. We are a family of 4 - 2 boys aged 13 and 15 plus our 6 yr old Australian Shepherd "Buddha" and his little sister, "Winter" - a 2 year old Bernese Mountain Dog. The property also has 2 beautiful Dwarf Bunnies which reside in their own Rabbit house at the side of the front door. *The Bunnies will remain on property and be tended by a carer unless you prefer they are removed during your stay. We are from the Northern Beaches of Sydney, Australia although I was born and grew up in United Kingdom. We are beach and mountain people who love the sea, sand and snow. Santa Cruz has so much to offer. Steps from our front door is West Cliff Drive and a walk/bike path takes you passed beaches like the one my family is having fun on in the picture. We have another home in Whistler, British Columbia which we spend most school holidays. We began renting our Santa Cruz home out in 2010. Our house is beautifully decorated and constantly being renovated and decorated (interior design being a Love of mine!), but it is also our home and as such we want you to feel "at home" here. We are big travellers and nearly always stay in VRBO homes and thus I know the importance of having a beautiful place to stay with all the ameneties of your own home!

Why they chose this property

We had travelled to Santa Cruz a few times for work and found it to be a place we could call "home from home" and feel there is a lot of similarities between Sydney and Santa Cruz with so much to do so close to home. If you stand at our front gate and look left you see the Ocean and to the right you look up into the Santa Cruz Hills. There are bike trails and walking trails aplenty. The home is literally minutes away from beaches, boardwalk, town, wineries, restaurants, parks etc. Something for everyone of all ages!

What makes this property unique

We love being so close to the ocean, beaches and great surf spots plus the mountains for hiking and biking with Tahoe just a 4 hour drive away for skiing in Winter and Lakes and biking in Summer. We own another home in Whistler BC, Canada which is just a 2 hour flight away or a 2 day drive!!
(our dogs are the reason we drive!!) making Santa Cruz the ideal location for us.
Down town Santa Cruz is a fun, interesting, lively town with plenty of shops and cafes and restaurants. We love having the beaches steps away from our house so the kids can boogie board, surf or simply just hang out on the beach with the dogs or friends. The Boardwalk and Funfair is a favorite spot along with great bike paths and trails along the coast and up into the hills. The steam train and Redwoods being a 15 minute drive away. The abundance of great restaurants and wineries are a great bonus for those of us who like to wine and dine. Up the road from our house there are a number of local "Wineries" and "Breweries" with fabulous locally grown wines, beers etc if you fancy a relaxed and friendly atmosphere sampling some great wines and beers produced in Santa Cruz. There is also a french bakery, restaurants and a couple of great little boutiques all just a few blocks away from our house. AND that is if you don't want to go down town to sample the fares on offer down there!! All in all - fabulous location for all ages!
