5bdr + Kids Game Room, Walk to Beach, Hot Tub!

Welcome to paradise! You are renting a great beach house in the Pleasure Point area of Santa Cruz, CA, the famous surfing and hanging-out beach. The house is a 5min walk to the beach. I purchased this house so visitors with kids (or just kids at heart) would have a fun relaxing time. The amenities include a large backyard (for the beach) with a game room (includes 42" TV, Ms. PAC-MAN / Galaga Arcade game, and a foosball table). On the back patio, we have an outdoor dining set, large stainless BBQ, ping-pong table, deck, and of course... a large HOT TUB! In the garage, the fun continues with surfboards (beginner and experienced riders), boogie boards, wetsuits, beach chairs, umbrella, kids beach toys, beach cruisers etc. All for your entertainment and entertaining.

The house has 5 bedrooms. (We have an 8 adult max)
1) The 'master' bedroom with a King Bed and private bathroom
2) The 'guest' bedroom with a Queen Bed
3) The 'kids' bedroom with a Twin over Full bunk bed
4) The 'breezeway' bedroom with a pull-out/pop-up trundle daybed (two twins)
5) The 'office' bedroom with a Queen Bed and desk

The house has full 2 bathrooms
1) The 'master' bathroom has two sinks, shower/tub, toilet, and skylight
2) The 'hallway' bathroom has a one sink, shower/tub and toilet

The kitchen is loaded with stainless steel appliances and fully stocked with cookware.

The house sits on a private road. No parking passes required. In addition, the house is on a cul-de-sac which leads to low traffic for a beach house. Safe for playing in the street.

House Details
The house is 1500 Sq Ft and a flat roof (which means lower than normal ceilings in the back 2 bedrooms) 7ft guests not recommended.

Check out our get-away in the mountains near Bear Valley Ski resort. Also great in the summer sitting on a private lake in Arnold. vrbo #474196

Great location

This residence is in a great location. Walking distance from the ocean. An easy bike ride to Capitola. Great back yard. Though we only had a family of four the house has the capacity to easy hold a lot more. The only advice I have for the owner is there are some easy fixes to make the house appearance better. (Fix small holes in doors, and the toilet paper holder in both bathrooms.). But overall a great experience.

Family Getaway Success

The house was great for what we wanted. We wanted a beach friendly house that would accommodate a getaway for ourselves, our grown kids and grandchildren with family friendly amenities. The house did not dissappoint. Plenty of room, lots of games, a great backyard - walking distance to Pleasure Point and a playground around the corner that our grandkids loved. Quiet neighborhood. Overall the house was exactly as described and we had no issues during our stay.

Incredible home for big group!

My family and some friends were traveling from up north to Santa Cruz for the weekend as we were going to run a 5K for Mother’s Day. When we got to the house, not only did it meet the expectations but actually it exceeded them as the home is very spacious and had plenty of additional bedding and cushions for our large families. we were only blocks away from the beach and to our surprise there was surfboards and wetsuits and bikes and sand toys and everything you could possibly need in the garage and we utilize that to the fullest and went surfing and had the time of our life. The property was clean and had wonderful accommodations for towels and games, etc. We can’t wait to go back and we will definitely be staying here again! Thank you for the awesome two night stay!
