Pleasure Point Fireside Retreat

Welcome to your beachside getaway in one of Santa Cruz’s most walkable and surf-friendly neighborhoods. Just a short stroll to iconic Pleasure Point, the scenic bluffs of East Cliff Drive, and popular local cafés, this home is perfect for relaxing, reconnecting, and enjoying the laid-back rhythm of the coast.

The property includes a 3-bedroom main house plus a detached cottage with a 4th sleeping area — ideal for extended family, couples, or groups looking for both comfort and privacy. Inside, you’ll find a clean living space with everything you need for a simple, easygoing stay.

Step outside to enjoy your private outdoor space:
• Hot tub for post-surf relaxing
• Gas fire pit for cozy evenings
• Outdoor seating for dining or morning coffee

Centrally located near 41st Avenue shops, Capitola Village, the beach, and just a short drive to downtown Santa Cruz, this home offers the perfect mix of convenience, comfort, and local charm.

Whether you’re here for the waves or a longer coastal reset, you’ll feel right at home in this peaceful Santa Cruz retreat.

Some small issues (e.g. damaged faucet/microwave), but overall the home was beautiful and the host was amazing! She was extremely prompt in helping us address the wifi issues, and the small details (e.g. snacks, beach towels, extra toothbrushes) were greatly appreciated. The home is beautiful!

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this Vrbo! The home was spotless, beautifully decorated, and had everything we needed for a comfortable family vacation. The kitchen was fully stocked, the beds were super cozy, and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax. We especially loved [insert a highlight—e.g., the stunning view from the porch / the cozy fireplace / the proximity to the beach. The location was perfect—close to restaurants, but still peaceful and private. Our host was fantastic—friendly, responsive, and made sure every detail was just right.We truly felt at home here and can’t wait to come back. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable stay!
