There is truly no better place to stay in Santa Cruz than directly on West Cliff Drive! West Cliff is ranked the #1 attraction in Santa Cruz. Why stay anywhere else
Head out the front door, turn east and arrive in minutes at Lighthouse Beach, the Surfing Museum, the Lighthouse, and of course the world famous “Steamers Lane” surf spot. Keep going and you will find yourself at the Surfer Statue, Cowells Beach, the Monterey Bay Exploration Center, the Wharf and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
Head North along the cliffs, and you will pass a multitude of beautiful West Cliff homes, secluded cove after cove, and find yourself at Natural Bridges State Beach to watch Egrets, take the 'Monarch Butterfly Boardwalk' through the Monarch Grove, and check out the visitors center. There's simply nothing like it.
Don’t want to go anywhere Why not just sit on the porch and watch it all happen… Directly in front of our house the people watching is fantastic as is the parade of abundant sea life: otters, dolphins, whales, pelicans, and more. With binoculars, a cup of coffee, or a glass of wine in hand; sunrise, sunset, and all day long, West Cliff will put on a show, and you will have a front row seat.

This was the perfect property for our family holiday week. We had a jolly house full with 6 adults, 5 kids ages 3-9, and 2 dogs from 3 states! Clean, cozy, comfortable, convenient! Complete with Christmas tree! Spacious back yard for kids to run around, play with the dogs, let off steam. Cozy gas fire pit in front for more sedate relaxation. Nearby beaches, boardwalk and aquariums, so lots to do. Property manager was very responsive and obliging and really helped to make the week a holiday to remember.
Our family loved this property. It was even better in person - which is always a pleasant surprise when booking vacation homes online. Well stocked home and a fabulous property manager made this an easy and memorable weekend to celebrate a 60th birthday with our loved ones. The brand new hot tub and the front yard firepit and patio set were show stoppers for us. Such a nice way to relax in the evenings. Thank you for being a fantastic host Gretchen!
Everything about this place is perfect. Ideal getaway place to spend a relaxing and meaningful time with friends and family. Something for everyone. Beautiful views, close to amazing walks, cafes and beaches. Backyard was perfect for the little kids and teens. House was beautiful. Lovely art work, high ceilings, comfortable beds, very clean and organized. Highly recommended.
Great house in an amazing location! Perfect for an extended family gathering - 4 generations. Well stocked with those kitchen items you always forget / need and lots of beach gear. Fill the wagon and walk to the dog beach. Definitely will come back to setup base camp to further explore the coast.
Great location, multiple surf spots close by, awesome amenities and cool house
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this wonderful house on West Cliff. Gia, the owner was communicative and informative and the check in process was easy. The home itself was just lovely. Clean, very comfortable beds with great linens, big fluffy towels, and was stocked with everything to make the visit special. The back yard was very large and was filled with many areas to entertain and have fun with. The Grand Kids loved it. A patio out front was our place for coffee in a morning and a glass of wine in the evening. Watching the whales, dolphins, birds and people walking by. We very much enjoyed our stay here and will definitely be returning.
You can't beat the location! Besides the fact that you are a short walk to all of the attractions, the house itself is perfect for a large group. We enjoyed people watching by the fire in the front yard and playing games and relaxing in the back yard. The home itself is even more spacious than we expected and it slept our group of 11 comfortably. Gia and Krista were great hosts and very communicative. We would absolutely stay there again!
This is our 40th wedding anniversary year and our family came to celebrate at this property in Santa Cruz. We had between 7 and 9 people with between 3-5 dogs. The house was immaculate and beautifully decorated. We were all impressed by the 8 foot monstera above the refrigerator. The house is designed for entertaining and there was a microwave, 2 ovens, a stove top, a pannini maker, Vitamix blender, air fryer oven and 2 refrigerator/freezers. The back yard had bocci balls, sauna, pingpong table, cornthrow and many chairs. The dogs loved roaming around the large yard. We especially enjoyed the large windows overlooking the ocean where the kelp bed had a family of at least 6 otters. We enjoyed eating on the porch and sitting with the fire bowl in the front year. The owner was very responsive and answered our many texts. The access to the beach was 5 minutes in either direction. We loved our stay and hope to visit again.
Location is perfect. We had a fabulous extended stay with family. Couple of minor suggestions - would be nice to have shampoo, conditioner, and coffee included as it required an extra grocery store run. No beach towels provided which was an inconvenience without laundry on site. Pet hair on upholstery could bother some. Hosts were responsive and easy to communicate with. We would stay again!
This was our fourth year in the West Cliff area but the first time at this property. We were worried about the destruction to the beach and road this last winter and the orange road barriers in front of the proposer Ty were a distraction but not as bad as I feared. The road is only one way in front of the property which was fine and actually cut down on traffic compared to prior years. We had six adults and four children 7 and under (including a 10 month old) and the house worked well for this group. The fire pit in the front is a great place for cocktails, after dinner conversations and people watching and the backyard is terrific for kids. The jacuzzi and outdoor shower are wonderful features. The small bedroom with a triple decker bunk bed was a big hit with the 7 and 5 year old grandkids. The kitchen has a good layout and works well. We had some bad luck with the dishwasher and clothes washer both going out while we were there, but the owner was very responsive, replacing the dishwasher in less than 24 hours and collecting our laundry and having it done offsite while the clothes washer was out of commission. The owner and local property manager were both extremely responsive to our questions and issues. We had a great time and look forward to returning next year and for many years to come.
The location combined with the size of the home was perfect for us & our cousins (total 4 adults, 6 kids). The house was well equipped with everything you need. The front & back yards are both very welcoming allowing the kids to be outside a lot too. Would definitely stay again.
Perfect place for a stay. The back yard is so big with so much to do, it is hard not to just stay and play. Plenty of room for our family of 11 (two are toddlers). Great views from the front of the house, both inside and out. People watching, running/walking, along West Cliff Drive added to the fun.
We recently stayed here for our daughter’s UC Santa Cruz graduation, and it was fantastic place to house our whole extended family. Since we hosted both sets of grandparents, an aunt, and ourselves, we needed a home that could accommodate all of us, and we were quite comfortable here. The views are outstanding, and we all enjoyed walking along West Cliff drive every day. The backyard is huge, and we made use of the bocce ball, corn hole, ping pong table, jacuzzi, and fire pit!! The interior is beautifully decorated, yet casual and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!
So much to love about this property! Great location- walk to natural bridges one direction or the boardwalk the other way. The backyard has so many fun options- my kids played all the games. The host was helpful and responsive. My kids already want to go back!
