Perfect beach house

We were able to gather family from nearby and far away over the course of a week. We came to appreciate the floor plan because it provided nice spaces for privacy and spaces to gather for football or kid TV. Hope we can return.

Fantastic location, great communication

You really cant get a better location in terms of walkability to beach, harbor, etc. Great set up for extended family with a floor separating aleeping areas, making it ideal for mix of older family and kids. Host has a garage full of bikes, toys, wetsuits, boogie boards and they are in good repair. Host was also a great commjnicator. She was friendly, professional and flexible. I highly recommend the place.

Seabright Reunion

Location is awesome! Easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants, even with a 2 year old and 4 year old in tow. If you choose to cook at home, kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed and there is even an outdoor grill. Accommodations were comfortable for 6 adults and 2 toddlers. Communications with owner were great. Excellent rental!

Perfect Get-Away close to the beach!

The communication with the home owner was fantastic! He got right back to us with the questions we had and was an overall really nice person. The home is on a quite street, not many cars. Its an easy 3 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to the Boardwalk. The house is very clean and comfortable. Kitchen has everything needed to cook dinners in and having a BBQ was a huge plus! Can't say enough about this place its simply a fantastic place to say and we look forward to going back!

Great beach house

It is a great beach house. They supplied everything you need for the beach and more. Wet suits, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys. Very nice kitchen and very well stocked! Bathrooms were nice. The downstairs TV area is dark and the bedrooms are dark and small. But the beds we’re comfortable. There was laundry facilities. The location couldn’t have been better!!! I highly recommend it!

About the host

Hosted by Glenn Aby

As a child we would get in the station wagon and head to Santa Cruz. We loved those trips. When I met the woman I wanted to marry we often went to the beach, and enjoyed it together. We liked it so much we made it part of our wedding weekend and invited the guests to a bonfire at the beach near this home. Our family has made the drive over the hill numerous times to spend many special days at the beach.

Why they chose this property

We looked for almost a year to find a beach house that met all our desires. We now know Santa Cruz neighborhoods well. The neighborhood is great and everything is so close. It does one's soul good to come to Santa Cruz.

What makes this property unique

If you have an electric car we have a 240 volt charger. The charger has a J1772 connection.
