About this property

Ocean View La Selva Beach Manresa State Beach Santa Cruz

  • The highlight of Holiday House is the view that you will enjoy from every room, and the very large deck set up for your relaxation, dining, whale watching, listening to bird song, and marveling at the sunset..followed by the twinkling lights of Santa Cruz up the shore. Easy access to Manresa State Beach. Surf, or watch the surfers, beach comb, fly a kite, surf cast: public access beach extends for more than 11 miles! Time spent indoors will be enhanced by the cozy living room, comfortable sofas and dining space, wall mounted 42" smart tv for movies and sports, and lots of books, games, and puzzles. Seriously cute and comfortable to visit, this house has a vintage modern vibe that is designed to be efficient, interesting, and welcoming. It was built in the 70's and features some original finishes and some newer. The 2 bedrooms (new carpet laid November 2021) are furnished with queen beds with new mattresses, bedding, and pillows (one bedroom has an additional twin with trundle bed) and the 1.5 baths are clean and well-appointed with plenty of higher quality towels and lighting. The kitchen is outfitted to cook 3 meals a day with virtually all the tools you expect, if you like that sort of thing! There is a washer and dryer on site, and a garage for your bikes or surfboards so you can unload and clean and lock 'em up.

Lori and Kevin were excellent hosts. They were very responsive to communication. Holiday House was perfect for our needs. It was well-appointed with everything we needed for our stay. The highlight is the fabulous back de k with a view of the ocean. It was a great morning coffee spot. The home was spotless and beautifully decorated. We'll definitely come back again.

Great little get away

We had a great time staying there. I would definitely recommend it if you want peace and quiet, kinda close to the beach. The only drawback is if stairs bother you

Great location with views!

Had such a great stay at the "Holiday House"! The place is in such a great location and so close to the beach! Spotless inside and had everything you could possibly need. Definitely will be our go to place when we go back to the area. Owner was so easy to communicate with too if you have any questions or concerns.

Wonderful Stay

The Holiday House was exactly what we had hoped for. The home is very clean and well appointed. The beds were comfy and the deck was amazing. The deck has great ocean views and is a perfect morning coffee spot. Looking forward to renting again next year. Lori was great to work with.

Convenient location and easy communication

We were visiting the Santa Cruz/Monterey area on a family vacation. The home was well stocked and comfortable. The owners reached out via text when we arrived to ensure that we were settled and were also responsive and easy to communicate with during our stay regarding a few questions that came up.

quiet place with nice views!

Host was awesome, superb level of detail in her communications/recommendations. Very nice touches throughout the home. Best set of cookware I've seen in a vacation rental, as well as a nice outdoor grill that actually had propane (including a backup!) - a rare feat! The outdoor area has great views and really comfortable furniture. Quiet neighborhood too, which was nice. Absolutely would stay again!

4/5 Stars

The house was well equipped with kitchen and household items. It felt like a home. Beds were comfortable enough, and the host is very responsive. Some drawbacks include lack of upkeep in the front/back lawn areas, insects inside the house (ants and spiders), and lack of air conditioning.

Great for young families

I came to Holiday House with my two young kids for Spring Break. We loved the cozy charm and mid-century vibes. The kitchen has high end appliances and was well thought out with everything we needed. The bedrooms were very comfortable and linens were clean and plentiful. We loved Manresa State Beach, a short drive away and picture perfect California sunsets. We did encounter a few spiders during the week, but that’s not surprising considering the beautiful wildflower meadows on both sides of the house. The sunflowers, strawberries, and farm fresh eggs at check in were a delight! The proximity to Watsonville for groceries was a plus. Definitely check out Seascape Foods for last minute items, including Marianne’s ice cream! So happy I found this cozy beach cottage!

Wonderful home at Monterey Bay

This house is a real gem! We enjoyed our stay so much! The house is beautifully furnished and very well equipped. We haven’t missed anything! Everything was comfortable from the beds to the terrace with ocean view. In the mornings when the fog is often in the bay, our teenage son and us enjoyed table tennis and later in the day, when usually the sun is coming out, we took the boogie board provided by the owners. The beach is only 10 min walk from the house. On our arrival we found a sweet welcome message. There were even beach towels for us to use. The owners thought of everything! Next time we bring our golf bags.

We used this as a home base as we explored Monterrey and Santa Cruz. Cozy kitchen well stocked. Short walk down to the beach (just be weary of the stairs down to the beach). La Selva beach is remote- which is part of its charm- but it is a good 10 minutes away from any store (outside expensive convenience store in La Selva beach).

Lori’s place is beautiful. The location is great. Just walk down the street and you get to stairs down to the beach.The house is really cute and it is located in a quiet neighborhood.As a warm welcome a bouquet of flowers and some Bundt cakes with a note from Lori awaited us.The kitchen was well stocked - not always a given as we found out last year for the first time.The boys loved the ping pong table.We have stayed at lots of different places in the area but this was our favorite.
