Shoppers' Corner, Whole Foods and Safeway are a 5-7 minute drive away. Go for a swim or lounge at the beach and come back and relax or cook up a fantastic meal in the large and functional kitchen. There is a Weber Genesis natural gas BBQ on the slate deck outside the living room for those of you who love to cook on the grill. Or dine at one of the aforementioned restaurants, or drive 10 minutes to downtown Santa Cruz and enjoy some wonderful dining at Oswald's, Soif, Bantam (on the Westside), El Palomar on Pacific Avenue, or many others.

Surf City Rentals Policy

Guests must confirm they have read and agree to the following policies:



No Parties or Disruptive Behavior: Surf City Rentals prohibits parties, open-invite events, disruptive gatherings, and any behavior that disturbs the surrounding community, including excessive noise, visitors, trash, smoking nuisances, parking issues, trespassing, or vandalism.

Cancellation Policy: We strictly adhere to our cancellation policy, and no exceptions will be made.

Trip Insurance: We strongly advise all guests to purchase trip insurance to protect their booking in case of unforeseen circumstances.

By booking, you confirm you have read and agree to these policies.

Thank you!



Guest Access:

Guests have access to the entire house, plus the laundry area and the 2 car garage with remote control openers. There is a kids' Radio Flyer wagon, and couple of bikes with helmets and fluorescent yellow vests, a couple of boogie boards--and, of course, Seabright Beach, voted the Best Beach in Santa Cruz by the Good Times.



Other Things to Note:

1. The listed weekly rate does not apply from June 12, 2021 through August 14, 2021 and there is a minimum weekly rental during those dates, on a Saturday to Saturday basis. The rate for a week during that period is $3,250.

2. There is also an 11% City of Santa Cruz Tax calculated on the total of the rent plus the cleaning fee. Airbnb does not have a line item for this in their listing pricing so it has to be paid for separately.



Interaction with Guests:

We do not live at the property so contact with us is usually only by email or phone contact. If, during your stay, there is an issue with something not working please contact Courtney via cell phone, call or text, and I will make sure that the appropriate trades person comes as soon as possible to see what is the problem and make any necessary repair.

This is our 12th year and 13th trip to Santa Cruz for a getaway with family! We love the beach and my grandsons can’t get enough of the sunshine and sea air! We are close to the restaurants and shops we like to go to. The beautiful Holy Cross Church is always in the plan on Sunday! The people are friendly and Surf City Is very attentive!

Perfect place!

My husband and our 3 adult daughters stayed and loved this place! Plenty of space to spread out, a nice view of the ocean from the deck and living room, quiet and beautiful neighborhood. Right between the harbor in one direction and the beach boardwalk in the other direction - both totally walkable; and the beach is SO close. We used all of the beach gear, bikes, and loved the fully loaded kitchen! Will definitely stay here again!

Our extended family of eight spent a long weekend at the beach to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. This house was perfect for us. The location is excellent in a quiet neighborhood a two minute walk to the beach. The house itself is clean and well laid out. The kitchen was plenty big for all of us to make breakfast and we used the huge table to play board games. I highly recommend this spot.

Our family of nine, adult kids and grandkids, stayed for a week. The home and location was perfect! Everything needed for the beach was provided; towels, boogies boards, wagon, chairs, etc. The kitchen was great and had everything you needed and the living area was very comfortable.

Great Stay! Steps away from the beach and walking distance to breakfast, lunch, and the boardwalk! Very quiet neighborhood with plenty of street parking available all day. Two garage spots with plenty of beach gear to take to the sand. The upstairs loft was perfect for the kids to watch TV and sleep. Bedrooms were great and very comfortable beds!
