About the host

Hosted by Sara Allshouse

Host profile image
Santa Cruz has always been a magical place for me . As a child my family and I came here in the summers with my aunts, uncles and cousins. Memories of the Boardwalk, sandy beaches, and beautiful surroundings is something I've never tired of. I have lived in Santa Cruz for 42 yrs. and counting. I enjoy riding horses, gardening, painting. photography, and walks along the beach with my dog. I do portraits of animals in Pastels, Oils & Acylics.

Why they chose this property

I loved that Magnolia Garden Bungalow is close to many beaches and Capitola Village! The street is very quite, which is great for sleeping in. And if you like to walk to restaurants, there's a choice of just about every style and taste. Along with a nearby brewery and outdoor seating to bring your dog along .

What makes this property unique

The Gardens create a privacy and tranquility with Teak garden furniture and tables. My guests comment that the interior feels like a home away from home. I'm also happy to report many compliments on the mattresses being so comfortable!! I source linen & bedding from luxury brands. It's centrally located near the beach in a quite peaceful neighborhood. Capitola Village is 5 minutes away. The 38th Ave. Surf Sanctuary/Bike path is a great place for a walk along the cliffs on the ocean. Restaurants; EastSide Eatery, NuBo Brewery, Penny Ice Creamery,Verve Coffee Roasting, Cliff Cafe, Whole Foods, TraderJoe's, Theaters,Shopping etc., all a short stroll away.
