Our family goes to Seabright every year but this was the first time staying in this house. It's a beautiful house with lots of space and amenities. The property owners left us a card welcoming us to their home, very nice. Would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful home with everything you need for your stay
Beautiful home inside and out. Easy checkin and check out. Home had everything we could of needed for our week stay. 3 min walk to Sea right Beach. Really close by to restaurants and Boardwalk. Glenn was extremely helpful and quick to respond. Lots of space, stocked kitchen and bathrooms and lots of beach gear. I would highly recommend this home and would definitely stay here again when in California

Seabright Reunion
Location is awesome! Easy walking distance to the beach and restaurants, even with a 2 year old and 4 year old in tow. If you choose to cook at home, kitchen is fully stocked with everything needed and there is even an outdoor grill. Accommodations were comfortable for 6 adults and 2 toddlers. Communications with owner were great. Excellent rental!

Everything we needed in a great location. Walk to beach, brewery, coffee houses and restaurants. Cruiser bikes made it easy to get further. Only complaint is sump pump next to basement bedroom window is noisy.

Perfect Get-Away close to the beach!
The communication with the home owner was fantastic! He got right back to us with the questions we had and was an overall really nice person. The home is on a quite street, not many cars. Its an easy 3 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to the Boardwalk. The house is very clean and comfortable. Kitchen has everything needed to cook dinners in and having a BBQ was a huge plus! Can't say enough about this place its simply a fantastic place to say and we look forward to going back!

Great beach house
It is a great beach house. They supplied everything you need for the beach and more. Wet suits, boogie boards, chairs, umbrellas, sand toys. Very nice kitchen and very well stocked! Bathrooms were nice. The downstairs TV area is dark and the bedrooms are dark and small. But the beds we’re comfortable. There was laundry facilities. The location couldn’t have been better!!! I highly recommend it!

Good location. Strange house design.
This house is in a great location for Santa Cruz. However, this house is designed for people that do not want to hear or see their children in the basement. This house lacks a place where five adults can relax together. The common living space is just not comfortable. This house also brought up issues with VRBO. This house had issues with alarms sounding in the middle of the night and an absent owner that was unable to fix anything during our stay.

Beautiful Home in great location
This home is in a perfect location for the beach and walking to some restaurants. A car is advisable for a wider range of choices. The kitchen was perfect for cooking a gourmet meal or just breakfast. The bathrooms were newer and everything was super clean. The only issue we had was a cable TV outage and the owner had me ( the renter ) try to call and fix it. After a day, he came himself to take a look at the problem. Since the rental was only for 3 days, this was not fixed in a timely manner. Other than that we loved the home.

Wonderful location in Santa Cruz
The property is very nice, especially for being so close to beach (where places can be small). This is a 3 level residence; the lower level is a nicely re-modeled basement w/2 bedrooms and an area to watch TV, full bathroom and washer/dryer (purely functional area). The middle level is where we spent most of our time. The kitchen area as very good. The entry-room (from front door) served us well w/couches. The garage is a kind of entertainment area w/couches and TV - nothing fancy but it worked. The upstairs (master bedroom and bath) is very nice. The outdoor sitting area in the back is a bit small and taken up with outdoor furniture, but it serves it's purpose pretty well. I would rent this place again without hesitation.

Fantastic location, great communication
You really cant get a better location in terms of walkability to beach, harbor, etc. Great set up for extended family with a floor separating aleeping areas, making it ideal for mix of older family and kids. Host has a garage full of bikes, toys, wetsuits, boogie boards and they are in good repair. Host was also a great commjnicator. She was friendly, professional and flexible. I highly recommend the place.
