Boardwalk Dream

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Look out over the popular and vibrant Beach Boardwalk when you stay at this contemporary and stylish, two-bedroom Santa Cruz vacation rental! With ocean views of both the boardwalk and the wharf, free WiFi, and even a Blu-ray player, this Boardwalk Dream promises all the comforts of home in an unbeatable location!

In the very desirable Beach Hill neighborhood, you'll be right in the heart of this iconic California coastal town. Just three blocks from the well-known Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the sand itself, you'll have easy access to restaurants, museums, galleries, and more just steps away. Attractions like the Roaring Camp Steam Engine, Pasatiempo Golf Course, and Natural Bridges State Park are also just a short drive from this gorgeous Santa Cruz retreat.

Spacious and bright with tall ceilings, this Santa Cruz condo will allow your whole group to spread out with a large, open floor plan. The well-designed kitchen is fully-stocked with all the major appliances that you would expect, including a dishwasher. Counter top gadgets include a coffee grinder, blender, toaster, and a microwave. Everything from lazy weekend brunches to multi-course dinners will be no problem here!

The dining room table will seat up to six, and in the adjacent living room you can curl up on the couch for some DVDs on the Blu-ray player or cable on the wall-mounted, flatscreen TV.

This home offers a private washer and dryer for guest use.

During your stay, be sure to walk the five minutes to the nearby San Lorenzo River path, right to the vibrant downtown area for unique shops, cafes, bars, and galleries. Main Beach is only two blocks away, a popular family beach for many in the San Francisco Bay area. And the awesome Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, one of the oldest amusement parks in California, offers an historic wood roller coaster, other rides, games, and even free live music in the summer - an easy walk right from your front door!

Visit Municipal Wharf and listen to the calls of the sea lions, rent surf boards and hit Cowell's Beach in search of the perfect wave, or rent some bikes and explore some of the nearby paved trails. Other attractions include the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, a day trip to San Francisco, just under an hour and a half north or the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, only 43 miles south.

Perfect for two couples traveling together with kids or a family getaway, this Central California Coast vacation rental will have everyone enjoying a sunny and adventure-filled Santa Cruz getaway!

Boardwalk Dreams for family of five.
Pros: perfect location, beautiful property, fun town Cons: internet connection weak, TVs hard to figure out, master mattress not soft enough (but I know how hard to it to ease everyone here) Hard to watch little kids over three floors.

Great location and view!
Enjoyed the stay, nice quiet neighborhood 5 minutes from the wharf. Many stairs but there is a dumbwaiter. Needs a little polishing but otherwise a gem.

Great location and amenities
The location was perfect. 2 block walk to the beach, 4 blocks to the boardwalk. Less expensive than hotels. Bathrooms were very clean. Nice view from the balcony. Kitchen amenities worked well and there was plenty of parking. Thank you so much. Would stay here again.

Great spot
Nicely decorated townhouse centrally located to the boardwalk etc Lots of stairs but manageable. Good sized rooms and full kitchen. Bed in master could be replaced as not so comfortable and needs more blankets. Would stay again.
