This luxury second-floor Santa Cruz beach rental located a few houses from the beach exudes Mediterranean charm and offers panoramic ocean views of Monterey Bay. It was selected to appear on the show Sweet Retreats, which airs nationally on the ABC Live Well Network. A spacious living room, dining room and kitchen open onto an expansive rear deck. During your days, a short walk, without crossing any streets, leads to the top of a wood, railed stairway to the beach, and an outdoor shower awaits you upon your return. Spend a romantic evening listening to the waves crashing on the beach or drown them out with the surround sound state-of-the-art home theatre system for DVDs.

Three bedrooms and two baths offer comfortable sleeping in beds for up to seven guests. The master bedroom, which also opens onto the rear deck, includes a gas fireplace, an HDTV, a Blu-ray player and Apple TV. A large walk-in closet provides ample storage for all your travel apparel. Enjoy the wonders of the natural world with stone floors in both bathrooms, granite countertops throughout, and three radiant skylights.

This remodeled Santa Cruz beach house has insulated walls and double-pane windows, which will allow you to sleep peacefully even if the kids are still awake. So that you don’t lose touch with the outside world, high-speed wireless fiber internet and video streaming are provided. Finally, a high-efficiency washer and dryer will ensure that your clothes come home just as clean as they were when you arrived.

Our vacation home is packed with everything you will need to enjoy your escape, including: five beds; hypoallergenic comforter for each bed; two complete baths with granite countertops and stone floors and walls; a 55 inch 1080P LCD TV and 5 speaker in-ceiling surround sound in living room; a 40 inch 1080P LCD TV in master bedroom; Blu-ray Players for each TV, allowing for viewing both Blu-ray Discs and DVDs; Apple TV for each TV; beautiful gas fireplaces in both living room and master bedroom; a smartphone connection to the speakers in living room; a fully stocked kitchen that includes a refrigerator, a dual fuel range, a dishwasher and a microwave; and a dining room that accommodate six people at a table and three at a bar.

We are located 40 minutes south of the San Jose Airport and 1.5 hours south of the San Francisco Airport and 30 minutes north of Carmel and Monterey. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is about a 10 minute drive; ride the historic Big Dipper and enjoy a great family outing. The Santa Cruz harbor is just over a mile to the west, where you can check out the lighthouse and some nice restaurants. Pleasure Point, where you can experience some of the best surfing in the United States, is only a short mile away. Capitola is less than 3 miles to the east; take a walk down the pier or cruise around the local shops.

Unfortunately, there is no access to garage and no indoor storage for bicycles.

We look forward to your escape to our relaxing and beautiful Santa Cruz vacation rental beach house on Monterey Bay.

    This home is beautiful. There were 7 in our group and the house accommodated all of us very well. The location is fantastic, just a short 2 minute walk to the beach and very close to the boardwalk and downtown. We had a wonderful time and would for sure do it again.

    This home is absolutely beautiful. Once you walk up the entry stairs, the entire living space is on one level, which made everything feel open and accessible. The house is very tastefully updated with high-end finishes and spectacular ocean views that truly make the stay special.The layout was perfect for our group — spacious bedrooms, a well-appointed kitchen, and a generous size family room where we could all relax together. The beds were very comfortable, and the entire home was spotless, which we really appreciated.One small suggestion would be to provide a few pedestal fans. It was a warm weekend during our stay, and since the back bedrooms face a road with traffic noise, keeping the windows open wasn’t ideal.Overall, we had a fantastic time and would absolutely love to come back. Highly recommend this property!

    Everything about our stay at AVAS was perfect. The place is beautifully decorated and perfectly designed to enhance a stay in Santa Cruz. Every amenity is thoughtfully provided and of above average quality. The walk to the beach is easy, and the view from the deck is outstanding. The only problem we encountered was having to depart after only a week’s stay.

    Allegra Villa Alla Spiaggia is aptly titled. It is a happy place at the beach. Three good friends spent a few days at the place... listening to the waves from the living room while we reconnected. In addition to the dining area and living room which look out to the beach, the villa has a well-equipped kitchen, and comfortable bedrooms and bathrooms. The owner is easy to work with and was kind and prompt in his replies.

    We’ve stayed at many properties through VRBO and this was one of our favorites. The house is very clean and the views are amazing with the sound of the ocean. We had the opportunity to meet Ed the owner and he was very personable and kind. Hope to come back in the future.

    Our family stayed here while visiting friends who are local to Santa Cruz. We come from a landlocked state, so waking up each morning and looking at the ocean was amazing. You could hear the waves from the patio and we loved how comfortable, clean, and well cared for.the home is. The owner had great communication and clearly takes pride in the home and the customer service. We made several meals in the kitchen and had everything we needed- the unit is well appointed with quality appliances, technology, furniture, and decor.

    The property was well set up for grandparents, our daughter and spouse and two grandchildren. The kitchen has everything one might need/ want. The living and dining room spaces are easy to use and flexible for our group. The view is great and we had a big storm to watch! The bedrooms and bathrooms were a good size and set with all the important things we wanted. Lots of attention to detail to make your stay feel 5 star.

    This was a great place to stay. Close to all, especially walks to the beach and even to the Farmer’s Market one day. The house was roomy- great kitchen!!! Bedrooms ample size- and the master bedroom really spacious. Ed, the host, was very timely with all communication. Perhaps a few more throw blankets and extra stock of bathroom towels would have been nice. Although there is a washer and dryer in the house. Also a recommendation for more kitchen knives - we cooked a lot of our meals there. Overall, a wonderful stay!! Nice quiet neighborhood.

    This house is amazing, with beautiful hardwood floors, a fully stocked kitchen, where we cooked almost every day and lacked for no kitchen tools, good-sized bedrooms, an impressive master suite, and a beautiful 2nd story view of the Pacific ocean. From this convenient location, we were able to walk on the uncrowded beach (even on Memorial Day weekend!) multiple times a day and travel to 3 separate state parks to see the redwood forest and further views of the ocean. Wildlife has included sea lions, sea otters, seals, marmots and innumerable varieties of birds. The homeowner and property manager is experienced, professional, straightforward and very responsive. 5 stars is a rating well-earned for both the details of the stay and the overall visit.
