This vacation getaway has been in our family since before it was finished being built. Our townhouse is situated on a bluff above Sand Dollar Beach in the relaxed neighborhood of Canon del Sol approximately 12-min south of Santa Cruz, California. Beach access via a private trail and stairs through the native coastal landscape is a short 5-min walk from our front door. If you happen to bring Grandma (like we do) and/or need to transport stuff to the beach, you can access the beach through the road to Manresa State Park right next door. Either way, you and your family are just minutes from the waves & sand of the Pacific Ocean.

Leave your stress behind! At our home you will enjoy fresh air and ocean views all the way over to Monterey on a clear day, while lounging on the deck and many places inside our home. You will have the opportunity to observe both the marine and land wildlife, including singing birds, playful dolphins and majestic whales during their migration.

Below the main level is a large room with a 62" flat screen TV, a Double innerspring futon and a set of twin bunk beds.  

The Great room couches are an additional set of twins when the back pillows are removed, if needed.

Just a short 5-homes walk from the Twin Lakes Beach with its bonfire rings, bathrooms and summer lifeguards. Easy 5 block walk to the Boardwalk and a 3-block walk to a fun kid's playground with a tennis court on 7th Ave. Lots of great restaurants, and also during the summer, there are Free Water Taxi rides in the Harbor.

If your group is a bit large for just this home, you can also rent the lovely Beachview Porchswing Cottage directly across the street, with 2-bedrooms and 1 bath. These two homes together sleep 12-16.

The Santa Cruz County Supervisors are making it very restrictive to have Vacation Rentals 

 

All New Vacation Rentals are officially banned from being created in Santa Cruz after last April 5, 2011, until the California Costal Commission approves the Vacation Rental Ordinance that will be voted on May 3rd by the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors. If you feel this is a terrible thing to do, please do the following now:

  1. Send an email to the Santa Cruz County Board of Supervisors (see email link below)
  2. Go to our website http://www.agreatplacetostay.net/ and at the top of the page, click on the 3rd sand dollar that says Good Neighbors of Santa Cruz County. They have a great sample of letters and other helpful info.  
"After reviewing the 493 pages of the latest proposed ordinance, I'm more scared than ever. The Planning Department is downplaying the simplified HAC proposed ordinance. The Board of Supervisors is attempting to regulate vacation rentals without quantifiable data to support the need to regulate rentals"... read more
