Allegra Villa Alla Spiaggia - See & Hear Ocean - Luxurious

This luxury second-floor Santa Cruz beach rental located a few houses from the beach exudes Mediterranean charm and offers panoramic ocean views of Monterey Bay. It was selected to appear on the show Sweet Retreats, which airs nationally on the ABC Live Well Network. A spacious living room, dining room and kitchen open onto an expansive rear deck. During your days, a short walk, without crossing any streets, leads to the top of a wood, railed stairway to the beach, and an outdoor shower awaits you upon your return. Spend a romantic evening listening to the waves crashing on the beach or drown them out with the surround sound state-of-the-art home theatre system for DVDs.

Three bedrooms and two baths offer comfortable sleeping in beds for up to seven guests. The master bedroom, which also opens onto the rear deck, includes a gas fireplace, an HDTV, a Blu-ray player and Apple TV. A large walk-in closet provides ample storage for all your travel apparel. Enjoy the wonders of the natural world with stone floors in both bathrooms, granite countertops throughout, and three radiant skylights.

This remodeled Santa Cruz beach house has insulated walls and double-pane windows, which will allow you to sleep peacefully even if the kids are still awake. So that you don’t lose touch with the outside world, high-speed wireless fiber internet and video streaming are provided. Finally, a high-efficiency washer and dryer will ensure that your clothes come home just as clean as they were when you arrived.

Our vacation home is packed with everything you will need to enjoy your escape, including: five beds; hypoallergenic comforter for each bed; two complete baths with granite countertops and stone floors and walls; a 55 inch 1080P LCD TV and 5 speaker in-ceiling surround sound in living room; a 40 inch 1080P LCD TV in master bedroom; Blu-ray Players for each TV, allowing for viewing both Blu-ray Discs and DVDs; Apple TV for each TV; beautiful gas fireplaces in both living room and master bedroom; a smartphone connection to the speakers in living room; a fully stocked kitchen that includes a refrigerator, a dual fuel range, a dishwasher and a microwave; and a dining room that accommodate six people at a table and three at a bar.

We are located 40 minutes south of the San Jose Airport and 1.5 hours south of the San Francisco Airport and 30 minutes north of Carmel and Monterey. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is about a 10 minute drive; ride the historic Big Dipper and enjoy a great family outing. The Santa Cruz harbor is just over a mile to the west, where you can check out the lighthouse and some nice restaurants. Pleasure Point, where you can experience some of the best surfing in the United States, is only a short mile away. Capitola is less than 3 miles to the east; take a walk down the pier or cruise around the local shops.

Unfortunately, there is no access to garage and no indoor storage for bicycles.

We look forward to your escape to our relaxing and beautiful Santa Cruz vacation rental beach house on Monterey Bay.

Annual Girls Trip
This was a great place to stay. Close to all, especially walks to the beach and even to the Farmer’s Market one day. The house was roomy- great kitchen!!! Bedrooms ample size- and the master bedroom really spacious. Ed, the host, was very timely with all communication. Perhaps a few more throw blankets and extra stock of bathroom towels would have been nice. Although there is a washer and dryer in the house. Also a recommendation for more kitchen knives - we cooked a lot of our meals there. Overall, a wonderful stay!! Nice quiet neighborhood.

What a beautiful place to stay!
This house is amazing, with beautiful hardwood floors, a fully stocked kitchen, where we cooked almost every day and lacked for no kitchen tools, good-sized bedrooms, an impressive master suite, and a beautiful 2nd story view of the Pacific ocean. From this convenient location, we were able to walk on the uncrowded beach (even on Memorial Day weekend!) multiple times a day and travel to 3 separate state parks to see the redwood forest and further views of the ocean. Wildlife has included sea lions, sea otters, seals, marmots and innumerable varieties of birds. The homeowner and property manager is experienced, professional, straightforward and very responsive. 5 stars is a rating well-earned for both the details of the stay and the overall visit.

It was a huge and happy surprise to walk in for the first time to a beautiful view of the ocean. We didn't know it was that good. Our family came from various parts of California to spend Thanksgiving here and enjoyed every aspect of being in the house. It has a unique design. The kitchen is well stocked. It's centrally located. And very clean. Well worth it.

Villa Alegria is a great rental! Nice amenities, kitchen very well stocked, main living area and lovely deck with a view of the beach. Hearing the ocean waves is very special! Bring your own beach gear and towels though. Owner is responsive to our requests. This is our second year here, and we’ll be back!

Comfortable with Stunning Views
We really enjoyed our stay here. The layout was perfect for our family, with rooms the kids loved, and a lovely master bedroom. The views from the back deck were stunning - we spent a lot of time relaxing there. Walking to the beach was a breeze, as was getting to Capitola, the Boardwalk, restaurants, etc. Best of all - everyone slept really well, and definitely better than we have anywhere outside our own home.

Our group of 5 had a great stay. The house had everything we needed and the location cannot be beat! Great house for generations staying together. The older folks can sit on the deck and enjoy the view while others hit the beach. The access is just a few houses away. The owner is super responsive and easy to work with. This is our second stay and hope to stay again in the future!
