Perfect
Three day surf stay with our kids. Very comfortable and inviting home. Fantastic location within a short walk to Pleasure Point. Quiet neighborhood. Spotless home with outfitted kitchen, games, boards, scooters, beach bikes, etc (we used it all). Short drive to quality restaurants and market (New Leaf!!) and barber (Waves and Fades) on 41st Ave. Hope to return soon! Oh, and the breakfast burritos at Point Market are killlller!!!!

Such a gem!
Our group of friends that have been together for 20+ years gathered here for the weekend and had a blast! The location is perfect. 5 minute walk to the beach and even shorter walk to a cute general store. The house is warm and inviting and stocked like a mix of a house and a hotel. The owner was super kind and helpful with recommendations. The hot tub was perfect for the rainy day that we had. The master bedroom is giant and super comfortable! I have saved this listing to use it again in the future and highly recommend it to anyone wanting a nice relaxing time in a welcoming environment.

Location 💚
I've been to the Capitola/ Cruz area for years for disc golf. (Delaveaga is the mecca) but ive never stayed in this neighborhood. Steve's place is sweet, neighbors are cool and the beach is a skip away, hot tub in the back and i didnt even have to log in to any of my accts for streaming ufc. Bicycles and surf stuff available also. Sweet spot

I enjoyed my visit to Steve's property. Very clean. I wasn't able to enjoy all of the nice amenities due to health issues, but this property is perfectly set up to enjoy our California coast. I wish the downstairs tv was set up. That's just me though. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for being a great host. Sincerely, Chris

Perfection for our small, young family.
We walked to the beach, rode bikes to ice cream, soaked after surfing. We had a memory-making holiday with absolutely no complaints. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us.

About the host

Hosted by Steve Clarence

Host profile image
Steve grew up together in Southern California and missed the beaches and surfing. Thirty years later they found a bit of paradise for our families to enjoy in Pleasure Point which is the banana belt of the Santa Cruz area. We all fell in love with Pleasure Point as it is less than an hour drive from our homes. We love to surf and enjoy the nearby walking path to Capitola and the fun local restaurants.

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy this home because it is everything we wanted and less than an hour's drive from Silicon Valley and Pleasure Point has an amazing Banana belt of nice weather.

When we walk in the door we feel as though we are miles away.

We wanted a home that has easy walking access to beaches, shops and restaurants.

There is so much to do in this beautiful area including: the amusement park, Capitola Village, UC Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz wineries, Elkhorn Slough for kyaking with sea otters, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Annie Glass outlet, bike riding, fishing, birding, Pacific Grove Mall, whale watching, ...

What makes this property unique

We enjoy walking or biking to shops and restaurants. I like the 30 minute stroll along the coast to Capitola for lunch at my favorite Paradise Beach cafe. We can surf or read on the sunny deck. Bonfires in the soft sand only a half block away.
