Absolute ocean/beach front - La Selva Beach- gated

Beautiful beach house. The sunsets were so awesome! Well equiped property and great communication with owner. Would definitely book again.

Our group was three couples: Me and my husband, our son & gf, and our daughter and bf. The “kids” are in their 20s. We had a lovely stay!! The house is directly on the beach. Walk down the stairs and your toes will be in the sand. You will hear the surf all night long. It’s beautiful! This is the second time we’ve stayed here. Everything is lovely, clean, and beautifully decorated. The beach is a private beach, so it is nearly empty at all times. It’s the perfect getaway! This beach is rural. You will need to drive to get to shops, restaurants, etc. This was not a problem for us. We loved it there. It’s a fairly easy drive (25 minutes) up to Santa Cruz boardwalk or down to Monterey (45mins) to go to the aquarium. I have nothing bad to say about our stay. Everything was perfect!!

Three bedrooms plus a fold out couch in the TV room. Kitchen very well equipped very nice dining table the room all look out on the beach. It’s our second year here and we were like it. The hostess is easy to reach and happy to give any information that we asked.

We were blessed with great weather and the wildlife was truly amazing. We saw dolphins almost every day, a lone baby seal that was sunning on the beach and then returned to the ocean, a few bats, and tons of really interesting birds. We couldn't stop watching the brown pelicans!! Plus, the locals and their dogs were fun to watch. The condo was really nice with all the luxuries, but I had forgotten about the steps. I had leg surgery last year and the steps and the sand made it a little difficult. The location is close to Seascape and Capitola for shopping and restaurants, which was handy. It was strange, but it seemed like everything happened right in front of our particular condo. I would definitely recommend it!

We've rented one of these beach row homes in this neighborhood along the coast for years for our annual family beach week, and this one is definitely one of our favorites! Clean, comfortable, and well - appointed with everything you need to make your stay enjoyable. The bonus room is definitely a plus, as not all houses on this row have one. It's a perfect location and home base to access all the fun that the Monterrey Bay offers and then come home to a relaxing spot to hang out on the beach, a sunset stroll or enjoy the views of dolphins from the deck. Easy BBQs or beach bonfires too. As usual, our family had a wonderful time and we will definitely be back! :)

Great beach frontage and views from unit.

Location made up for all the hiccups but won’t stay with this host again Pros Location Layout worked well with Littles Good beach equipment Cons Communication Check in and out instructions not sent other than at first booking We did all dishes pots pans etc before leaving and simply left a few water bottles and pizza boxes towel in the wash and in front of it as we were rushing out by 10am with 3 toddlers and a prego Got a slew of angry texts about how we didn’t clean well enough and the house cleaner couldn’t do her job of just basic cleaning. Owner wants to get away with the bare minimum while charging a $300+ cleaning fee

I am old and handicapped and wanted a property where I could enjoy an ocean view and this was perfect. While there are three flights of stairs I could manage easily. I have rented other properties in the past and Cynthia was the best by far at communicating all the needed information.

rude, disrespectful, unreasonable, irresponsible, very bad experience

Lovely week spent on a beautiful beach watching birds,dolphins and whales. Very private location but home had everything you might need except close grocery store.
