The house is a 1.5 minute walk to Seabright Beach for body surfing, boogie boarding, relaxing, etc. Walk to La Posta restaurant or several others on Seabright Avenue, or walk or drive to Johnny's Harborside or Crow's Nest Restaurant on the harbor. It is a 10 minute drive to world class surf at Pleasure Point beaches or Steamer's Lane. It is a 10 minute walk to the Boardwalk and 15 minutes to the Santa Cruz wharf, or you can drive if you like. Shoppers' Corner, Whole Foods and Safeway are a 5-7 minute drive away. Go for a swim or lounge at the beach and come back and relax or cook up a fantastic meal in the large and functional kitchen. There is a Weber Genesis natural gas BBQ on the slate deck outside the living room for those of you who love to cook on the grill. Or dine at one of the aforementioned restaurants, or drive 10 minutes to downtown Santa Cruz and enjoy some wonderful dining at Oswald's, Soif, Bantam (on the Westside), El Palomar on Pacific Avenue, or many others. Bring your kayaks, bikes, surf boards, etc. There is some extra room in the 2 car garage to keep them indoors.

There is a laundry area in the garage with washer and dryer which are there for your use. Best to bring your own laundry detergent.

There is a kids' Radio Flyer wagon, and couple of bikes with helmets and fluorescent yellow vests, a couple of boogie boards--and, of course, Seabright Beach, voted the Best Beach in Santa Cruz by the Good Times.

Other Things to Note:
1. The listed weekly rate does not apply from June 12, 2021 through August 14, 2021 and there is a minimum weekly rental during those dates, on a Saturday to Saturday basis. The rate for a week during that period is $3,250.
2. There is also an 11% City of Santa Cruz Tax calculated on the total of the rent plus the cleaning fee. Airbnb does not have a line item for this in their listing pricing so it has to be paid for separately.

Interaction with Guests:
We do not live at the property so contact with us is usually only by email or phone contact. If, during your stay, there is an issue with something not working please contact Courtney via cell phone, call or text, and I will make sure that the appropriate trades person comes as soon as possible to see what is the problem and make any necessary repair.

Great family Christmas gathering

Our 2nd time here. Great location near the beach. Well-stocked house with good quality amenities (except for carving knives). However we did have a ceiling leak when it rained. Roofer responded quickly but needs fixing. We had a great time and great view of the of the collapsed pier debris

Our Favorite Beach House!

This is our tenth year celebrating the week before Thanksgiving in Santa Cruz with our families and their children! We are making lasting memories in a beautiful ocean setting in a comfortable home. We have everything we need at the 3rd Ave home! Is just a short walk to the beach and close to many restaurants, grocery stores, the Boardwalk and church. Come stay for a while and feel the healing power of Santa Cruz!

Family reunion

Getting the family all together is getting more difficult, but the invitation to this location was worth clearing the calendars. So close to the beach and Boardwalk made this location more than ideal. Cool mornings on the upper deck enjoying coffee with the ocean view was terrific. The house had everything we needed to enjoy the week. I've already told friends about this lovely home.

Home away from home

This was our third year staying at this rental. As advertise, it’s an easy walk to the beach, boardwalk and down to the harbor. The house is very roomy, and everything could possibly need in the kitchen. Will be coming back for our fourth year here. Jesse and family

Seabright Gem

We loved the location and the house itself. Kitchen was the best equipped VRBO ever and we do cook. Was roomy and had a nice ocean view from the deck. Just one thing was disappointing--two bedrooms had no dressers. When you are in a nice home you do not want to live out of a suitcase. Would definitely rent property again.

Great Location!

Some friends and I rented this house to celebrate a special birthday. The house was the perfect choice because it's spacious, well-equipped, has garage parking, and very close to the beach! The view of the water from the living room and deck was very enjoyable. I would definitely rent this house again! It feels like a home.

Almost Perfect

This house is perfect. Big, clean, and great location. Includes beach chairs, wagons, bikes, corn hole, and more! The only thing I wasn’t aware of is the other space underneath the house that others were staying in. I couldn’t figure out who was talking all morning since my group was sleeping! Wasn’t bad, especially since I was the only one that heard it. Don’t let that stop you from renting. It was fabulous!

Pre-Thanksgiving get together.

Our family has been getting together in Santa Cruz every year since 2014. We thoroughly enjoy this location as it fits all our needs and is so close to the beach! It has all of the amenities we could want. The garage parking Is a big plus! We hope to stay here again next year and very much appreciate the owners sharing their home with us! Gratefully, Carole and Family!

Santa Cruz Wedding Trip

We were in SC for a family wedding. This place was perfect for our group of 6 (two couples and two singles). Everyone had a private space, the bedrooms except for the loft had generous closets and great bathrooms, the common rooms were spacious and comfortable with a glimpse of the ocean a bonus! Plus we could hear the waves crashing and the sea lions bark! It was great to have the two-car garage so no worries about parking. Some of our group used the beach chairs and towels for an afternoon at the beach. The kitchen was well supplied, convenient and open to the other common areas. The location was perfect for our event - we could walk to almost all of our functions. And the downtown was a short drive away. We found good local eating: breakfast at Linda's Seabreeze Cafe, lunch at the Seabright Deli, dinner at La Posta! It was perfect!

Family Reunion/Wedding

We absolutely enjoyed the Seabright Beach property. We could see the ocean from our window and watch the pelicans fly over the ocean. We used to live in Santa Cruz so this was like coming back home. The house was clean, the kitchen was well stocked so we cooked and even baked a pie using the wonderful glass pie dishes. Every couple had a queen bed and the 3 bathrooms were perfect. We all agreed that we would come back to this place. The only negative is that the master bedroom and lower floor bedroom had beds that were so old we felt like we were sleeping on a hill. Otherwise, love this place. Thank you!

Perfect all around

Spent my 30th birthday weekend here. Although we never partied in the house (per the house rules), the location is perfectly close to everything. The house is located on a court and that court ends on the beach! Walking distance to Betty’s burgers and some town bars. We also spent most time on pier and boardwalk, which that distance is too long to walk but such a short drive. Highly recommend this place and would definitely stay again.
