Seabright Beach House

This is a very nice property, one house from the beach. Unfortunately you cannot see the beach from it. I have only 2 complaints. The outdoor furniture was filthy and we had to clean it and none of the windows in the common area opened so, being a bit of a fresh air nut, I was disappointed. Also, it is very musty so opening the windows would have fixed that. Otherwise, I would recommend it to a friend.

Great place to spend a weekend in Santa Cruz.

Great host- perfect location- cozy and good amount of space. Loved the porch. High walkable score!!

Great location, easy walk to beach and boardwalk but still quiet. Perfect for a family with two teens to have room to hang out together but also space for down time.

The house was nice and clean. The upstairs master suite is by far the best part of the house, so big and bright. The downstairs is dark and doesn't feel like it belongs near the beach, but it's clean and comfortable. We loved the proximity to the beach, access to the garage to store our bikes and the outside shower (with both hot and cold water) to rinse off the sand after a day the beach. What we didn't like was the traffic on the street, constant people walking and cars parking in front of the house.

No contact with host. All was good for our stay.

Fantastic location. Well equipped, comfortable beds. Easy check in and out.

All went well… comfortable and clean… great location!

Again, we had a fabulous time in Seabright! The Beach House is older and charming with a beach bungalo feeling but with all the amenities needed! Five stars overall!!

Our stay in this cute cottage by the beach in July 2025 was absolutely wonderful. The neighborhood was so beautiful. We were treating our four teenage grandkids to the Boardwalk and we wanted them to enjoy the beach. This was a perfect location and a wonderful house to stay at. It was roomy enough for the six of us with enough beds. We were so happy to be able to walk to the beach and the boardwalk. Available to us within walking distance was shopping, restaurants and a coffee shop. The house was equipped with everything we needed. Our grandkids pulled out the bikes immediately upon arrival. We gave them the spacious top floor so they felt like they had a little apartment to themselves! Many memories were made on this trip. We were very happy with this property and hope to return for another stay.

We loved this house. We have spent the last 6 years at different rentals for 4th of July in Capitola, Aptos and Seabright. This was by far our favorite home. Great street near everything but quiet and easily accessible. Would definitely stay here again.

Comfortable yet bare minimum amenities and not very clean. Trash (someone's old water bottle) left under TV stand, coffee machine Keurig upstairs, but no pods, very comfortable front deck arrangement with nice bright pillows, but limited seating and side areas dirty. Inside panels, dark, lighting insufficient to brighten area. Great for location, but would not recommend given comparable houses for price.

This is a very walkable location. Restaurants nearby. Walked to the beach, walked to the boardwalk, walked to the lookout point. I loved sitting on the porch with the ocean view and people watching. The home was very beachy and comfortable.

Such a comfortable cozy home with all that we needed . Just a few minute walk to the beach and with windiws open at night, you can fall asleep to the sound of the wavesMy only small issue was that there was no propane and we couid not bbq as we planned for iur kast night.Will definately come back.

This was the second time our family stayed in this house and we absolutely love it. Location is perfect for our needs. Can’t wait to visit again in our home away from home!

So close to the beach and boardwalk, no need to drive. And, just a short drive to Capitola. The body boards and outdoor shower were a hit with the kids and the deck and beach chairs were a hit with the adults. I also enjoyed listening to the waves and the sea lions. I recommend this place for a small group.

Beautiful house steps from Seabright beach! Great for walking hitting the beach and close to town.

Just as advertised. House is well kept and clean. Close to the beach, boardwalk, restaurants and cafes. I’d stay here again.

We stayed here as our launching point to all things Santa Cruz for a week. We went mountain biking multiple days, and we were able to wash our bikes off with the hose in the back, as well as store our bikes in the garage. A few in our group surfed, with the house located within a few minutes drive of Pleasure Point and Steamer Lane. Myself and another friend had a GREAT TIME boogie boarding at Seabright Beach, a 3 minute walk from the house. We cooked or used the gas BBQ at the house each night for dinner, but there are so many restaurants located within walking or short driving distance as well. We loved the house, loved the neighborhood, and absolutely loved Santa Cruz!

Wonderful stay here with a few friends. Kitchen is well appointed and house is cozy and comfortable.

This house was an absolute delight. The moment we walked in we felt at home, because the house is so warm and welcoming. We have stayed in Seabright a few times over the years so understand what you are signing up for with a classic cottage right on the beach in Santa Cruz. It's all about the character, coziness and curb appeal, and this had it all in spades. Location, location, location - walk everywhere. Garage is full of beach toys and house full of board games and movies. Beds and bathrooms comfortable and clean (huge for us). Highly recommend this wonderful property.

The positives were the beach proximity, house size, and porch. The negatives were it was quite musty, especially the kitchen and the beds. There was also an issue with vagrants out in front of the house, parked right in front was a beat up old van we saw what looked like homeless people come and go to (drugs?) and it had a few cats in it who called out incessantly- not the property's fault but it definitely put a damper on things. The strangest thing was my adult son was looking for a cabinet to store his luggage in upstairs and inside the cabinet was a carpeted crawl space with a big gun on the floor. It did not look like a toy so we shut the cabinet and didn't touch it. We did let the manager know that they should maybe lock it up, but honestly it made us really uncomfortable. All in all would definitely not stay again.

My wife and I stayed for five nights in late December and thoroughly enjoyed it. The location can't be beat - steps to Seabright Beach with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, easy walk to the Boardwalk, close to downtown and the harbor with lots of shops and restaurants, yet super quiet (especially at night). The house itself is charming and comfortable. The comfy king bed upstairs, well-stocked kitchen with everything we needed, powerful shower, and a driveway for off-street parking were especially nice. We look forward to staying here again if our plans take us back to Santa Cruz.

We have the best time here, especially fabulous in the off season..it has everything we need and Seabright is simply the best!

Every year we rent a house near the beach in Seabright and this is the first house we look for. Location is perfect, just a few houses to the beach and short walk to the boardwalk. The house is great for my kids, energetic boys.

Great stay

Loved staying here for Thanksgiving with my young kids and parents in town. Perfect location and easy getaway from SF. Will definitely come again!

Fabulous location, walking distance to Boardwalk, coffee, good restaurants and downtown. Great master suite setup and outdoor spaces to enjoy the beach weather.

We had an amazing weekend with our adult kids at the Seabright beach house. It's yards from Seabright beach which is known for the public camp fire rings and they are popular so get to the beach early to snag one. The sunrises and sunsets were spectacular on most days. The house is walking distance to the marina one way, and the wharf and boardwalk the other direction. Lots of families walking around at night.

Awesome little place. So beach and fun with old decor…in a good way! So original. Beautiful view and location can’t be beat. Super easy to work with the property manager.

We’ve booked this lovely place at the end of every summer for years. Great place and great location!

Charming older and very clean home in the perfect location close to beach, boardwalk, and restaurants. Our family stay included 4 adults and 3 children under 2 years old and it was the perfect size for us. I echo the previous reviewers’ comments and sentiments and will add that the small backyard/deck was ground level and enclosed to let the kids play (and I believe not many rental properties in Seabright have an outside area like this!) We brought what we needed for the kids (pack n plays, high chairs, etc.) and the house already had everything for the adults. Would definitely stay again!
