Manresa Meadows on Acreage!

Permit 201123

Manresa Meadows is a very special vacation rental on beautiful acreage just one block from Manresa State Beach. Meander down one of the wildflower lined paths through beautiful acres of meadow to the private eucalyptus-shaded picnic area, complete with fire pit teak picnic tables and chairs. Owls and a variety of interesting birds are frequently seen in the trees surrounding this part of the estate. Follow the path to high ground for a spectacular view of Monterey Bay.

Tranquil views of meadow and farmland from the hot tub, master bedroom, and main deck. Expansive upper and lower decks, indoor and outdoor dining, BBQ, hot tub, wide-screen TV and comfortable great room design make Manresa Meadows a superior vacation home.

Pet-friendly Manresa Meadows offers activities for the whole family. Fido is welcome in the house, or can enjoy the two doghouses in the 400 sq. ft. concrete-surfaced dog run, or rove over the fully fenced two acres of meadowland.

Manresa Meadows is on the Pacific Coast Bicycle Route, just south of La Selva Beach a short block’s walk from Manresa State Beach. Activities nearby include beachcombing on miles of white sandy shoreline, kayaking and wildlife viewing at Elkhorn Slough, hiking and mountain biking at Nicene Marks State Park, dining at Sanderling’s restaurant at Seascape Resort, and golfing at Seascape Golf Course in nearby Aptos. Monterey is 31 miles to the south, and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is a short 14-mile drive.

Your own oversized dog park near the beach.
We initially chose the property for the dogs, but keep coming back for the “everything”. It doesn’t just allow dogs, it gifts your dogs with their own private HUGE dog park. Peaceful surroundings. Listen for the owls in the eucalyptus trees at night. Hot tub has always been functional, clean and hot.

Perfect house for a beach, dog & teen vacation
Proximity to the beach is amazing. 2 acres of fully fenced “doggy Disneyland” can’t be beat. House is comfortable.

Spacious, dog friendly home near the beach
Spacious home, kitchen was well stocked with utensils and tableware but almost no staples or condiments. For example a coffe maker, electric kettle and French press but no coffee or tea. Large lots has wide, hard packed trails that invite you to wander to the strategically placed benches and enjoy the view. Very dog friendly. Really enjoyed both the fire pit and hot tub. Even though the owner uses a property management company, he really was happy for us to call him directly and he promptly took care of our concerns. Overall a very good experience.

Great house on pretty acreage with good views. Out of the hustle and bustle of Santa Cruz and a block or so from the beach. We loved using the hot tub after the beach and perusing the pretty backyard. We didn't bring our pups but they would've been safe and really would've enjoyed it. Bob, the owner, lives next door and was very helpful when needed but otherwise unobtrusive. We will find our way back here!

Wonderful
We loved our stay! We had a beach vacation with three generations of our family (age 8-74) and our dogs. The house and nearby beach were beautiful. The fully fenced property was such a wonderful option and there were so many convenient dog features. The kids had a great time in the backyard meadow space and there was a fun hammock and football. Star gazing in the evening. Really great memories made! Note the stairs downstairs are pretty steep, but it’s possible to stay entirely on the first level of the house. Kitchen was well appointed, beds were comfortable. The beach is just down the street, about a block away. The check-in process was easy but does require going by the property management office which is 10-15 minutes away. Everyone we interacted with, from the property management staff to Bob who cares for the property, were welcoming and helpful. Highly recommend this rental, we hope to return.

A perfect retreat
I stayed here with friends for a weekend, and we all loved the property. It was easy to find and get to, yet felt very private and secluded in a peaceful, relaxing way. The kitchen had everything we needed, the bedrooms were spacious and comfortable, and the outdoor entertaining area, including the hot tub, were ideal. We loved being so close to the ocean - just an easy walk away. Everyone in property management was very responsive leading up to and during the trip. I would love to return here with friends and with my family.

Great birthday weekend
The property is huge and beautiful! Completely fenced and our dog loved exploring. Fire pit is great with firewood provided. Enjoyed the hot tub. Close to the beach. Large living area and kitchen. Bedrooms were perfect for 3 couples. Loved that they provided dog beds and bowls. Bring throw blankets if you want them - that's the only thing we said we wished they had for us.

Relaxing, clean and dog friendly
Our family very much enjoyed our week-long stay. The home is clean, quiet, and comfortable. There's a good sized (and wonderfully bright) living room/dining room. The beds are comfortable. The huge yard was fantastic for our dogs, and we appreciated the short walk to the beach. There's even a secure, sunny dog run area with an outdoor shower for dog washing and drying after the beach.

Great property, could be fantastic.
There was no mention of the required key pickup and key return to a rental office until paperwork was received. Although the required stops were in a nearby town, they were an unexpected time waster. Rental office staff were rude on the phone, but polite in person. The property exceeded our expectations on many fronts. The house was clean and tastefully furnished. The two-car garage was an especially nice feature. We only used the master bedroom during our stay. There was ample closet space, the bathroom's double vanity was nice and the bed was comfortable. Unfortunately, a sign affixed to the bathroom wall noted that the bathtub was not to be used. Extra blankets were stocked and there was a ceiling fan. The kitchen was spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. A deck ran along the entire length of the house was pretty much unusable. The white wooden top railings were black with dirt and there was what appeared to be mildew along the bottom railing. If you leaned against them you had black stains on your clothes. We didn't feel like washing the railings, so we just didn't use the deck or lean up against them. The dogs, however, thought the deck was just fine. We also found that the morning dew made the stone/tile deck flooring slick and slippery until the late afternoon. A major maintenance issue was the neglect of the roof's eaves. All of them! They were covered with thick, black spider webs that hung down. You couldn't be near the house without them being in view and/or hanging over you. Such a shame that they were such a creepy distraction. We were also unable to use the hot tub for the first three days of our stay. When we opened the cover there was a thick layer of sand on the bottom and the water smelled funky. We were unable to get the tub's "clean" function to work. A spa service tech arrived on the fourth day. He described the sand and dirt on the tub's bottom as "butt crack sand" and noted the circuit breaker had been tripped. After he cleaned the tub and reset the breaker, the hot tub was nice to use. The large backyard was a dog's paradise with room to run and an escape-proof fence to keep them contained. Although we didn't use it, there was a fire pit as well as chairs and stacked wood at the far end of the yard. Only a short walk to the beach, so there was no need to drive there. The beach gave us miles of coastline to walk and for the dogs to be off-lead. Even with a few hiccups, we very much enjoyed our stay very much

The property is beautiful and so close to the beach. The kids enjoyed flying kites at the beach and making s’mores at the fire pit on the property. House is nice, kitchen is well equipped and plenty of room for the dog to run around. We will be back.
