There is a kids' Radio Flyer wagon, and couple of bikes with helmets and fluorescent yellow vests, a couple of boogie boards--and, of course, Seabright Beach, voted the Best Beach in Santa Cruz by the Good Times.
Other Things to Note:
1. The listed weekly rate does not apply from June 12, 2021 through August 14, 2021 and there is a minimum weekly rental during those dates, on a Saturday to Saturday basis. The rate for a week during that period is $3,250.
2. There is also an 11% City of Santa Cruz Tax calculated on the total of the rent plus the cleaning fee. Airbnb does not have a line item for this in their listing pricing so it has to be paid for separately.
Interaction with Guests:
We do not live at the property so contact with us is usually only by email or phone contact. If, during your stay, there is an issue with something not working please contact Courtney via cell phone, call or text, and I will make sure that the appropriate trades person comes as soon as possible to see what is the problem and make any necessary repair.

The perfect place, that’s all I’m gonna say I don’t wanna leave any details as I want to be able to book this over and over and over again and not have somebody else grab it!
Great place… best appointed kitchen we ever had. Perfect location. Wonderful art, nicely decorated, comfortable beds, bathrooms nice, great gas grill, views of ocean and quick walk to beach. The house was GREAT! Would recommend.
We had a wonderful time at this beautiful home. All the beds were comfortable. The towels were amazingly fluffy. There was plenty of shampoo etc. The kitchen had everything we needed and we were able to walk to the Boardwalk. We highly recommend this home for any vacation.
Very comfortable and clean home close to the beach. Our family loved staying here!

I am very glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay in our house. I appreciate that you took good care of it, and that you were very easy to communicate with. You're welcome back anytime!
This is an ideal property for spending a few days on the coast, well furnished with everything we needed, and in a perfect location to enjoy our favorite seaside city. It was roomy, spotlessly clean, and perfect for us.
Wonderful location close to the beach and Boardwalk. Well maintained and comfortable home with lots of space and a beautiful deck with a view. Great choice for a family trip or a quiet getaway.
This is our 12th year and 13th trip to Santa Cruz for a getaway with family! We love the beach and my grandsons can’t get enough of the sunshine and sea air! We are close to the restaurants and shops we like to go to. The beautiful Holy Cross Church is always in the plan on Sunday! The people are friendly and Surf City Is very attentive! Thank you for another wonderful stay at your home!Carole Kraftschik and Family
This home was the perfect location for a vacation in Santa Cruz! I loved how close it was to the beach and the view from the deck. The home was very cozy but spacious.
Lovely, well-appointed home in a charming neighborhood and just steps from the beach. All the comforts of home plus an ocean that you can gaze at through the window. Easy communication with Host. Easy entrance to the property. No complaints. Would definitely stay here again. Absolutely recommend.
This was such an amazing rental -- beautiful, cozy, thoughtful, well stocked and just a block walk to the beach. We were a group of 5 adults and were more than comfortable here. Highly recommend!
My husband and our 3 adult daughters stayed and loved this place! Plenty of space to spread out, a nice view of the ocean from the deck and living room, quiet and beautiful neighborhood. Right between the harbor in one direction and the beach boardwalk in the other direction - both totally walkable; and the beach is SO close. We used all of the beach gear, bikes, and loved the fully loaded kitchen! Will definitely stay here again!
Our family of nine, adult kids and grandkids, stayed for a week. The home and location was perfect! Everything needed for the beach was provided; towels, boogies boards, wagon, chairs, etc. The kitchen was great and had everything you needed and the living area was very comfortable. The two car garage with openers was a definite plus. Hope to stay there again!
