Some small issues (e.g. damaged faucet/microwave), but overall the home was beautiful and the host was amazing! She was extremely prompt in helping us address the wifi issues, and the small details (e.g. snacks, beach towels, extra toothbrushes) were greatly appreciated. The home is beautiful!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Vrbo! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable family vacation. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were super cozy, and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax. We especially loved [insert a highlight—e.g., the stunning view from the porch / the cozy fireplace / the proximity to the beach. The location was perfect—close to restaurants, but still peaceful and private. Our host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and made sure every detail was just right.We truly felt at home here and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!

About the host

Hosted by Kristen

Host profile image
Hi, I’m Kristen! I’m from Santa Cruz and love being near the ocean — morning beach walks, good coffee, and spending time with friends are a few of my favorite things.

I started hosting to create comfortable, easy spaces where people can relax, recharge, and enjoy everything this area has to offer. Whether you’re here to surf, work remotely, or just take a break, I’m happy to share a few local favorites and help make your stay as smooth as possible.

Why they chose this property

I chose this neighborhood because it’s the perfect mix of laid-back and convenient. You’re close to the beach, great coffee shops, local restaurants, and everything on 41st Ave — but still in a quiet, easygoing part of town. It has that classic Santa Cruz vibe, where you can surf in the morning, grab lunch nearby, and unwind without ever needing to get in the car.

What makes this property unique

What makes this home unique is the blend of space, comfort, and location. You get a 3-bedroom main house plus a detached cottage — perfect for extra privacy or spreading out as a group. The private backyard with a hot tub and gas fire pit adds that special touch for relaxing after a beach day. It’s tucked away on a quiet street, but you’re still just a short walk to Pleasure Point surf, coastal trails, and great local spots. It’s a peaceful, laid-back place to truly enjoy the Santa Cruz vibe.
