Guest Access:

Guests have access to the entire house, plus the laundry area and the 2 car garage with remote control openers. There is a kids' Radio Flyer wagon, and couple of bikes with helmets and fluorescent yellow vests, a couple of boogie boards--and, of course, Seabright Beach, voted the Best Beach in Santa Cruz by the Good Times.



Other Things to Note:

1. The listed weekly rate does not apply from June 12, 2021 through August 14, 2021 and there is a minimum weekly rental during those dates, on a Saturday to Saturday basis. The rate for a week during that period is $3,250.

2. There is also an 11% City of Santa Cruz Tax calculated on the total of the rent plus the cleaning fee. Airbnb does not have a line item for this in their listing pricing so it has to be paid for separately.



Interaction with Guests:

We do not live at the property so contact with us is usually only by email or phone contact. If, during your stay, there is an issue with something not working please contact Courtney via cell phone, call or text, and I will make sure that the appropriate trades person comes as soon as possible to see what is the problem and make any necessary repair.

    The house was absolutely wonderful. Working with Sun City was fantastic. They always kept me informed and responded quickly to questions. The location was dreamy. Getting up in the morning and looking at the ocean and being able to walk to it so close was breathtaking. It was a great place to celebrate a 30th birthday and surprise engagement. It was fun to walk the neighborhood to coffee, breakfast and paths along the cliff side. We loved walking to the lighthouse and seeing people on kayaks, and other water sports in the marina. It was so convenient to be able to walk to the Boardwalk. The beds were cozy and the kitchen was perfect. We could fit our whole crew around the kitchen table to eat and play games. It was an overall 10 out of 10 experience. My family would definitely want to come back.

    Our extended family of eight spent a long weekend at the beach to celebrate my mom's 80th birthday. This house was perfect for us. The location is excellent in a quiet neighborhood a two minute walk to the beach. The house itself is clean and well laid out. The kitchen was plenty big for all of us to make breakfast and we used the huge table to play board games. I highly recommend this spot.

    Our family of nine, adult kids and grandkids, stayed for a week. The home and location was perfect! Everything needed for the beach was provided; towels, boogies boards, wagon, chairs, etc. The kitchen was great and had everything you needed and the living area was very comfortable. The two car garage with openers was a definite plus. Hope to stay there again!

    Great Stay! Steps away from the beach and walking distance to breakfast, lunch, and the boardwalk! Very quiet neighborhood with plenty of street parking available all day. Two garage spots with plenty of beach gear to take to the sand. The upstairs loft was perfect for the kids to watch TV and sleep. Bedrooms were great and very comfortable beds! Kitchen had everything we needed and more. Excellent stay!

    My husband and our 3 adult daughters stayed and loved this place! Plenty of space to spread out, a nice view of the ocean from the deck and living room, quiet and beautiful neighborhood. Right between the harbor in one direction and the beach boardwalk in the other direction - both totally walkable; and the beach is SO close. We used all of the beach gear, bikes, and loved the fully loaded kitchen! Will definitely stay here again!

    This beach house was perfect for our family trip. The pictures in the listing dont do the view justice! The view is amazing!! The house is beautiful and well stocked with everything you need. The bedrooms were perfect for ages ranging from 25 to 83. There are bedrooms on each of the 3 stories which gave us the separation we needed. I will definitely stay at this property again in the future and highly recommend.

    Our 2nd time here. Great location near the beach. Well-stocked house with good quality amenities (except for carving knives). However we did have a ceiling leak when it rained. Roofer responded quickly but needs fixing. We had a great time and great view of the of the collapsed pier debris

We are making lasting memories in a beautiful ocean setting in a comfortable home. We have everything we need at the 3rd Ave home! Is just a short walk to the beach and close to many restaurants, grocery stores, the Boardwalk and church. Come stay for a while and feel the healing power of Santa Cruz!
