About this property

Adorable Seabright Bungalow - Steps to the Beach!

This California Craftsman Bungalow on the Santa Cruz Historical Register is beautiful, spotlessly clean, fully furnished and is one house off East Cliff Drive overlooking Seabright Beach.

The location is ideal as it is walking distance to the beach and to numerous Santa Cruz attractions including the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor, Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Municipal Wharf, Lighthouse Point and Steamer Lane, and Natural History Museum. Everything you'll need is close by- Verve Coffee Roasters as well as dozens of restaurants including fan-favorites Seabright Brewery, Crow's Nest, and more.

After a fun day out at the beach (umbrella, towels, and chairs provided), rinse off in the private outdoor shower before coming inside to relax by the gas fireplace and watch a movie (Television/ cable included). Make yourself at home in the fully-equipped kitchen as we have provided the basic necessities to make a wonderful homemade meal- Small appliances include coffee maker, blender, & toaster. Fully equipped with dishes, glassware/barware, cooking utensils, and basic spices.

Upstairs, the large Master Bedroom contains a Queen bed, and the other bedroom has 2 twins (both bedrooms have dressers and closets for unpacking!). A 1/2 bath upstairs makes things even more convenient.

There is an impeccably manicured English garden with grass front yard and sideyard concrete patio (including table and chairs for outside dining, if preferred) and Weber barbecue.

This fantastic cottage is loved by all.

The perfect beach cottage!

The home was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The host was communicative and welcoming. We happened to be headed out when the gentleman arrived to do landscaping and he was kind to us and very sweet to our young child. It was an easy 10 minute walk to the Boardwalk (even with a four year old!) and a quick few minutes to the beach. We appreciated the generous size of the living space and simple decor. It was the perfect size and location for our family and we can’t wait to stay here again!

Beyond Amazing

This bungalow is literally across the street from the beach. It was clean and cozy. The neighborhood was calm and peaceful even though it’s within very short walking distance to the boardwalk. We were thrilled with the entire experience and staying here again in the future would be a no brainer. 10/10 Just book it. You won’t regret it.

Primo location

This adorable home is steps from the beach. Even though there was lots of rain during our visit it was lovely to cozy up by the fire. Full kitchen allowed us to cook meals at “home”, but there are several great cafe’s restaurants within 0.5 miles. The bed fit my 6’4” spouse comfortably.

Great Little Cottage

We loved this cottage! It is literally steps away from the beach and a short walk to the boardwalk. Everything was so clean and comfortable for us. It was great to fall asleep to the sound of the ocean. I 💯 recommend!

About the host

Hosted by Laurie Davis

Host profile image
I grew up coming to Santa Cruz during the summers as a kid, and then was fortunate to do the same with my husband and children. It's such a wonderful place. When I am not relaxing in Santa Cruz, you can find me at a SF Giants game, cooking for my family, or reading a book with a glass of chardonnay.
