Beach Retreat blks to beach Hot tub, Firepit .The BEST Location! 4 bedrooms



You will love this beach house. It's very comfortable and beautifully decorated, plenty of room for all. Full sun facing backyard. After each guest, the home is thoroughly cleaned and sanitized with a very experienced vacation rental cleaning crew. Self check in. it’s located in a quiet neighborhood. It’s not suitable for loud gatherings. Guests must be quiet in the backyard after 10
Entertain your family and friends by barbecuing, relaxing in the hot tub, roasting marshmallows in the gas fire pit while being surrounded by beautiful mature tropical landscaping. Let the good times begin with the large collection of bikes, helmets, Surf and boogie boards, wet suits, beach chairs, coolers, back packs, No need to lug around your baby gear. I have it all at the house. Pack in play, baby gates, booster, two high chairs, training wheel bike, bike kid carrier, child plates and utensils, children's books, dvd's and sand toys.
Very well stocked kitchen with top of the line appliances. Large living room with vaulted ceilings, 8 seat dining table, & huge couch. Very spacious inside. Large H.D. flat screen in the living room and master bedroom. Personal WIFI in house and yard.
Outdoor seating. Game table with games, puzzles and books and gas fireplace in the family room.
The best location in town. 1 1/2 blocks to Natural Bridges State Beach Park. (famous for thousands of monarch butterflies) and a two mile walking/bike path along the ocean called "West Cliff." The "Swift Street Courtyard" is close to the home it's where you’ll find winery tasting rooms, the Santa Cruz Mountain brewery, Humble sea brewery, Venus Sprits distillery, yoga studios, New Leaf Market (a mini-Whole Foods) and plenty of restaurants. (The West End Tap and Kitchen being one of my favorites) The Santa Cruz Boardwalk and wharf is approximately two miles away.
Upstairs is the master bedroom with a king bed, private full bathroom(separate tub and shower), balcony and cable T.V. In Bedroom number two is a King bed. Two twin beds are upstairs in bedroom number 3 with walk in closet. There is a full bathroom in between the two rooms. Downstairs ground level is a bedroom with a queen bed. Next to it is a full bathroom. The couch in the family room pulls out into a twin futon. There is a mattress topper on futon couch for extra comfort. I have one cot, one king blow up bed, two twin blow beds and a pack in play, that can be placed anywhere in the home.
Located in a small quiet court with plenty of parking. The home is safer for children playing out front, affordable and more private than most ocean front homes which have cars and people constantly going by.
The house is very safe with smoke detectors, carbon monoxide alarm, first aid kit and fire extinguisher. Everything in the home is well maintained and up to code.
I personally go to the vacation home between guests to insure it's in top shape. The home includes a host. Susan lives in the neighborhood and can quickly assist with any unforeseen problems that might arise with the home. She will drop by and introduce herself, you can ask her questions about the home or get recommendations on great places to see.
Downtown San Jose and the San Jose Airport are approximately 30 minutes away. The San Francisco Airport is 60 minutes away, as is Carmel, Monterey, and Pebble Beach. Downtown San Francisco is 80 minutes away.

Great family fun
The accommodations were superpb and as promised! The hot tub was especially welcoming, and enjoyable for all ages. The location close to the beach was what drew us to this house. We had a great time at the tide pools! We also enjoyed going to the nearby Boardwalk. All in all this was a stellar stay which we hope to repeat!

Reunion
We loved the ease of checking in and allowing us to arrive an hour early was great. This was a great size space for 8 women in late 70’s. Cons: could be cleaner overall. An earwig was crawling in the downstairs bedroom and nothing felt quite clean in the bathrooms. Partly age was at fault and could use some updates. Upstairs bath tub Fay et leaked constantly so a waste of water. The kitchen sink has a high pitched whine when the water runs so very annoying. Backyard had tons of spider webs on the wooden chairs and no one wanted to sit in them. Would like to say we tried our best to follow all the directions of which there were many. We did think asking us to strip the beds etc was a bit too much since we were also paying a hefty cleaning fee.

Great place for family get together
The location is great. The walk to the beach is a little longer than I thought it would be, but our 5 year old was able to handle it. The common area had enough sitting space for all 7 of us and the bedrooms and bathrooms were comfortable and convenient. There were lots of books and puzzles for the kids. The host responded immediately and helpfully to any problems or questions.

Geoff and Sue were very helpful and communicative. The house is very comfortable, and it is a short walk to the beach. It is also a short drive to get groceries or to downtown. We loved the quiet of this neighborhood and the access to beach and butterfly garden! A great house for our family of 10.

The house was very nice and comfortable. It had everything we needed. A fort and swing for my grandson. Beautiful backyard. It was close to the beach, grocery stores and quant places to eat nearby. Minutes away from boardwalk by car. It actually looked nicer in person than online, usually that just the opposite. Pop pool
