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

The house and grounds were perfect for a family getaway. The game room was used, as well as the outdoor spa. Even though the weekend was a bit rainy in January, the block and a half walk to the beach and bluff was amazing. We also walked down the hill to Capitola by the Sea.

We were disappointed with this house. It needs general maintenance for mold, mildew, and broken window coverings. Hot tub smelled bad and the filter was out of place - it needed servicing which I requested from manager and no one ever came. We booked specifically because it had a hot tub so that was annoying. Pros are house is in a great location and had good beds and kitchen had a good assortment of gear. Overall we didn’t enjoy the stay and found it to be a poor value for the money.
