Beach getaway

Diane left no detail out to assure a comfortable stay at her well appointed, level in condo at Seascape Resort. She anticipated every need, including snacks to enjoy. The accessibility to both the beach and swimming pool, as well as to the grass area, made my 4 & 7 yr old grandsons & their parents very happy! I definitely recommend this rental without any hesitation.

Wonderful accommodations for elderly parent

We had a short stay at Rio Del Mar, but our accommodations were perfect for 3 sisters and our elderly mother. The ground floor, one-level condo with a handicap shower and handicapped parking out front was ideal. The unit is tastefully decorated, and Diane’s thoughtful touches with toiletries, condiments, spices, and snacks was much appreciated. We lost power on our second day, and several flashlights in the unit helped us immensely. Diane was also accommodating of our need for an alternate checkout arrangement. While we had neither the weather nor the time to properly enjoy the Seascape resort, I would not hesitate to return to Rio Del Mar.

Great place for my elderly parents

Clean and quiet space, very comfortable and spacious. Well-stocked kitchen. Beautiful location with ocean views and deer wandering up the patio. The ADA features were perfect for my elderly father who was visiting - something that is really hard to find in rentals. A great find! Responsive host.

Wonderful Condo

My father wanted to celebrate his 80th birthday in Santa Cruz. Since 3 out of 4 of us have mobility issues, finding a place that was ADA accessible was our main goal. The condo was wonderful. And it had a lovely view of the ocean. The location was great. Just a few minutes to our goal of the Boardwalk Thanks to Diane who answered all my questions and texts. Hope to come back in the future at some point.

family love and a wonderful place to honor our son

We had a wonderful time. Our 2 year old granddaughter had a blast peeking out the back door at the deer who frequented our patio. The communication with the owner was over the top-even when I had to change our reservation. The place was clean, spacious, and peacefully decorated. The first floor, one-story end unit, was great for a busy toddler. We appreciated the snacks and basic items we sometimes forget while traveling. Thank you, We will return! Carole

Great location, clean, very relaxing

We would definitely return to this property. It’s a short, fun walk to the beach and having a spa and pool were great for our kids. The host clearly takes care of the condo and we had no problems whatsoever. She is very thoughtful in having it stocked with everything we needed. It was clean, had a great view, and was definitely big enough for four of us. We highly recommend this place for a relaxing break.

About the host

Hosted by Diane LoVerde

Host profile image
My family and I live approximately 45 minutes from Seascape Resort. I am a Real Estate and Loan Broker with vast experience in long term and short term rentals. I have owned and managed many properties including Vacation rentals. We purchased this unit because we fell in love with the location near the end of the building away from all the noise. We really likes that it has no stairs and 3 patios to the greenbelt space. Our unit also is next to the beach trail which takes us down to miles and miles of beaches. The unit is remodeled and has ADA attributes.

Why they chose this property

This property is spacious end unit with no stairs and offers 3 patios. Plus the beach path is right next to our unit. We have a family of deer that like to munch on the vegetation right out side our unit. It's is perfect for a weekend getaway, week long family trip or a romantic escape.

What makes this property unique

ADA unit with no stairs. Away from the noise of the pool. End unit. 3 patios to enjoy the ocean view. Ocean views from every patio, living room and bedrooms.
