Location 💚
I've been to the Capitola/ Cruz area for years for disc golf. (Delaveaga is the mecca) but ive never stayed in this neighborhood. Steve's place is sweet, neighbors are cool and the beach is a skip away, hot tub in the back and i didnt even have to log in to any of my accts for streaming ufc. Bicycles and surf stuff available also. Sweet spot

I enjoyed my visit to Steve's property. Very clean. I wasn't able to enjoy all of the nice amenities due to health issues, but this property is perfectly set up to enjoy our California coast. I wish the downstairs tv was set up. That's just me though. I'd stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you for being a great host. Sincerely, Chris

Perfection for our small, young family.
We walked to the beach, rode bikes to ice cream, soaked after surfing. We had a memory-making holiday with absolutely no complaints. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us.

Great rental in Pleasure Point!
We (four adults, two little ones) thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The house was spacious and suited our needs perfectly. The location couldn't be beat, either!

About the host

Hosted by Steve Clarence

Host profile image
Steve grew up together in Southern California and missed the beaches and surfing. Thirty years later they found a bit of paradise for our families to enjoy in Pleasure Point which is the banana belt of the Santa Cruz area. We all fell in love with Pleasure Point as it is less than an hour drive from our homes. We love to surf and enjoy the nearby walking path to Capitola and the fun local restaurants.

Why they chose this property

We chose to buy this home because it is everything we wanted and less than an hour's drive from Silicon Valley.

When we walk in the door we feel as though we are miles away.

We wanted a home that has easy walking access to beaches, shops and restaurants.

There is so much to do in this beautiful area including: the amusement park, Capitola Village, UC Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz wineries, Elkhorn Slough for kyaking with sea otters, the Monterey Bay Aquarium, the Annie Glass outlet, bike riding, fishing, birding, Pacific Grove Mall, whale watching, ...

What makes this property unique

We enjoy walking or biking to shops and restaurants. I like the 30 minute stroll along the coast to Capitola for lunch at my favorite Paradise Beach cafe. We can surf or read on the sunny deck. Bonfires in the soft sand only a half block away.
