We LOVE our neighbors, please respect them and quiet down by 9pm. Of course, no events or gatherings of any kind are allowed at any time. Your listed guest count should be the total number of guests in the house. Also please refrain from going onto the roof, the view is spectacular enough without having to do so!

La selva beach

La Selva is a beautiful welcoming community. This house is in a prime location with beach views and easy access along with a park to walk the dogs or just take in the ocean a few yards away. The house is cozy, vintage and has everything you need for a comfortable stay.

Beach Views

We enjoyed our stay at a cozy house with great ocean views from the living room, dining room, kitchen and upper bedroom, as well as a lovely front porch! Open space across the street with a walking path to get a closer ocean view with benches to take it in! Family of adults really enjoyed our stay!

Birthday weekend in LaSelva

We found this property to be a mixed bag of pros and cons. The property does look out right across the street to the Bluff and ocean. The bluff is a great place for the kids to play although it does get a lot of foot traffic from people that want to come look at the ocean and or the beautiful sunsets.. There are a lot of cars that also pull up along the curb of the park/Bluff that looked a little “shady”, ie: teenagers pulled up and got out of their car to smoke some weed. You could smell it. No big deal to us, but to others it might be problematic. The house is old and somewhat very quaint. It is decorated with a beach vibe that we loved. The bedrooms were very comfortable as was the living area. The kitchen has a really cool stove and well stocked with everything you could need to do your own cooking. I will say that I wish their Housekeepers Did a better job of making sure the cookware was clean as we had to rewash many items because they were put away very greasy. The bathrooms were the worst as far as being super old-the showers super small and the water pressure very low. We really enjoyed our time there in spite of these issues. The house is comfortable enough. The beach is an easy walk down a path to Manresa Beach parking lot. This property shows the love of family that have owned it for many years. Imo, it is desperately in need of bathroom and window upgrades. I also think that someone should be checking on the cleaning crew to be sure they’re doing a good job.

Fabulous Family long Weekend

We had such a great experience at this adorable La Selva Beach house. The rooms were all clean and nicely appointed as well as those two HUGE bathrooms! Felt like we were in Italy with all that tile! This place was large enough that our group of 7 adults and a feverish baby could all enjoy our time together. Speaking of the bathrooms, a few light bulbs would brighten up the shower area as there are a few burnt out bulbs. Our son's dog was super thrilled to have a spot of her own as well as THE BEACH! The beach was terrific! We had two days of sunshine and a few days of wind and clouds but was still able to make our time spent together meaningful. Thank you for letting us have great memories at your blue stove home!

Great house with everything you need

We really enjoyed this house, it was minutes from miles long beach. Beds were comfortable, yard was secured and we loved they accepted our dog. Easy to get in and out, had lots of pots and pans to cook and dishes to serve. The oven was super cool looking. Heat was working great as it was cold at night there. Lots of towels and supplies. Very comfortable house and nicely done.

Great find, right on the beach!

I found this property for a trip I planned for the family. It was absolutely delightful! The only reason why I didn't give it a full 5 star rating was the listing said "pet friendly," and then about 2 week before our check in, we were told the dogs had to stay off the furniture and could not go upstairs. Not having any idea of the layout, this stressed me out and I wished I had known the pet rules before paying for the rental. In hindsight, it is actually not as limiting as I thought it would be. The upstairs is just 1 bedroom, and easy to keep your pets on the downstairs level. And the owners are just trying to keep their house in good condition. :) The rooms were all VERY clean and I just felt like we were in a cute cottage! We arrived at night so we were pleasantly surprised when we woke up and saw the gorgeous views of the ocean! It was spectacular! We walked along the beach every month. I highly recommend this property!

Beautiful and convenient

The views of the ocean were excellent with only a few short steps to a lively and popular sea cliff. The backyard was beautifully planted with an array of different color flowers and a nice deck to enjoy breakfast or a book.

Quick weekend at La Selva

House happened to be available for a quick get away. Owner was great to work with, very responsive. Great location, exactly as close to the water as it looks. Bathrooms and Kitchen are fully functional, but a little dated. Not a detractor, but something to know. We’d go back.

Great view

Great view from the expansive front windows, although you might feel like you're in a fish bowl at times. The house is well equipped and a store within walking distance if you some small littles. Wish the bedroom upstairs had a bathroom or at least a toilet room. The bathrooms on the ground are a little dated but functionable. It is a great location if you like to venture into Santa Cruz and relax on the bluffs in La Selva Beach.

About the host

Hosted by Alexia Bunce

Host profile image
This beach house has been in our family for over 30 years. It was originally purchased by our father. We had many family gatherings over the years and made many beautiful memories. Our father spent most his time here making improvements such as new windows, tiling one of the bathrooms and rebuilding the fireplace, complete with a mantel made from one of the old, wooden bleachers from the stadium at Stanford. He was Stanford’s quarterback back in the early 70's (Rose Bowl MVP!) and later became the team doctor as well as an orthopedic surgeon. Our father passed away unexpectedly in 2002. The house was then passed down to our kids - leaving an amazing place for his grandchildren to create more memories. To help with maintenance costs and to potentially help secure their futures, we decided to open it up to vacationers to allow us to keep the home and continue to go there with our families. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
