5bdr + Kids Game Room, Walk to Beach, Hot Tub!

Welcome to paradise! You are renting a great beach house in the Pleasure Point area of Santa Cruz, CA, the famous surfing and hanging-out beach. The house is a 5min walk to the beach. I purchased this house so visitors with kids (or just kids at heart) would have a fun relaxing time. The amenities include a large backyard (for the beach) with a game room (includes 42" TV, Ms. PAC-MAN / Galaga Arcade game, and a foosball table). On the back patio, we have an outdoor dining set, large stainless BBQ, ping-pong table, deck, and of course... a large HOT TUB! In the garage, the fun continues with surfboards (beginner and experienced riders), boogie boards, wetsuits, beach chairs, umbrella, kids beach toys, beach cruisers etc. All for your entertainment and entertaining.

The house has 5 bedrooms. (We have an 8 adult max)
1) The 'master' bedroom with a King Bed and private bathroom.
2) The 'guest' bedroom with a Queen Bed
3) The 'kids' bedroom with a Twin over Full bunk bed
4) The 'breezeway' bedroom with a pull-out/pop-up trundle daybed (two twins )
5) The 'office' bedroom with a pull-out/pop-up trundle daybed (two twins ) and a desk for wired/wireless internet

The house has full 2 bathrooms
1) The 'master' bathroom has two sinks, shower/tub, toilet, and skylight
2) The 'hallway' bathroom has a one sink, shower/tub and toilet

The kitchen is loaded with stainless steel appliances and fully stocked with cookware.

The house sits on a private road. No parking passes required. In addition, the house is on a cul-de-sac which leads to low traffic for a beach house. Safe for playing in the street.

House Details
The house is 1500 Sq Ft and a flat roof (which means lower than normal ceilings in the back 2 bedrooms) 7ft guests not recommended.

Check out our get-away in the mountains near Bear Valley Ski resort. Also great in the summer sitting on a private lake in Arnold. vrbo #474196

Great location, terrific venue with all the necessities to enjoy a vacation for all ages. A+
Very clean and well maintained property, even while occupying the location. A strong wind occurred overnight and we left the spa cover off. The next morning we discovered a lot of debris fell into it and was not in any condition to be used. However, we left to grab lunch, and when we checked the spa again, it was all clear and cleaned up! Was very happy to once again use the spa. A++

Great House, location, ammenities
Lots of room to relax or hang out in groups. Great location, near beach, dog park and great local shops, all within walking distance. Bedrooms have backyard access which helped early risers and late night relaxing by the fire. Heated outdoor shower was great when returning from the beach. Landlord very responsive. Would stay again.

Great Family Getaway
The house and grounds were perfect for a family getaway. The game room was used, as well as the outdoor spa. Even though the weekend was a bit rainy in January, the block and a half walk to the beach and bluff was amazing. We also walked down the hill to Capitola by the Sea. The home was easy to use for our multi-generational weekend!

Nice place, not as clean but enjoyed our stay
Nice area, spacious, very well stocked with lots of items. Not as clean as I hoped. Probably because of pets. But overall enjoy the place. No doggie door cover in the bedroom by the laundry room very cold and drafty. Main Heater was not lit up when we got there, needed to work on getting the spark going a few times. Loved the hot tub and the fire pit.

BEST IN ALL OF SANTA CRUZ AREA
Pictures do not do this house justice. I have stayed in many vrbo/airb&b's and this was hands down my FAVORITE! Not only close to the beach but to shopping and restaurants also. This house has EVERYTHING & feels like home! Truly a hidden secret. Me, my kids & grandkids had plenty of space. The rooms are big & spacious. We had 4 adults, 2 kids & 1 toddler & 1 infant (who stayed at the house) plus my sister who lives in Santa Cruz plus her kids & grandkids visited & that was 5 more adults and 2 more toddlers and we had room to cook & eat & hang out. The backyard is huge and the game room & spa was awesome also. I can not say enough AMAZING things about this house and look forward to staying here again. One one last thing is communication with the host was wonderful! I hope you enjoy your stay as much as i did and I'm looking forward to more memories in this house. 💗

Great Home Base for Exploring
This is a great house in the Pleasure Point area. Everything was just as listed and we could have spent several days just in the backyard and walking down the street to the ocean. As it was, this was also a good location for us to use as a home base while we visited the San Jose area, Monterey area, Felton, and the more touristy side of Santa Cruz while having a quieter feel like home. Our 3 generations of visitors and dogs really enjoyed it. The street is very quiet in general and I slept better there than at home, wish is saying something. The neighborhood feels very safe and everyone I met in the area treated me like a local, which I appreciate when I travel. One tip for future visitors: unlike a lot of rentals I've used, there were no condiments in the refrigerator and very few spices so make sure to bring your own.

Floral Court
This property accommodates large groups quite well. We enjoyed the hot tub & outdoor areas in particular. A few concerns ; The property manager neglected to alert us to the fact that groundskeepers would be there to service the hot tub & move garbage cans out for collection (after ten pm). The five year old in our family alerted us to a “stranger” being in the backyard. These were both huge security and communication lapses. I think you should have enough linens and towels to turn over the house without inconveniencing your guests.

A welcome surprise
We were concerned about a previous review we read. When we arrived everything was clean and tidy . All appliances and tv's were in working order, beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well outfitted, the wall heater kept us warm. The owner quickly responded to our requests. He even suggested places to visits on our rain drenched days. The kids enjoyed the playhouse in the backyard. The garage had all kinds of beach apparatus . Lovely big back yard with great ping pong table and outdoor fire pit. We would definitely come back again.
