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’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.
