About this house rental
Boardwalk Dream
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Look out over the popular and vibrant Beach Boardwalk when you stay at this contemporary and stylish, two-bedroom Santa Cruz vacation rental! With ocean views of both the boardwalk and the wharf, free WiFi, and even a Blu-ray player, this Boardwalk Dream promises all the comforts of home in an unbeatable location!
In the very desirable Beach Hill neighborhood, you'll be right in the heart of this iconic California coastal town. Just three blocks from the well-known Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and the sand itself, you'll have easy access to restaurants, museums, galleries, and more just steps away. Attractions like the Roaring Camp Steam Engine, Pasatiempo Golf Course, and Natural Bridges State Park are also just a short drive from this gorgeous Santa Cruz retreat.
Spacious and bright with tall ceilings, this Santa Cruz condo will allow your whole group to spread out with a large, open floor plan. The well-designed kitchen is fully-stocked with all the major appliances that you would expect, including a dishwasher. Counter top gadgets include a coffee grinder, blender, toaster, and a microwave. Everything from lazy weekend brunches to multi-course dinners will be no problem here!
The dining room table will seat up to six, and in the adjacent living room you can curl up on the couch for some DVDs on the Blu-ray player or cable on the wall-mounted, flatscreen TV.
This home offers a private washer and dryer for guest use.
During your stay, be sure to walk the five minutes to the nearby San Lorenzo River path, right to the vibrant downtown area for unique shops, cafes, bars, and galleries. Main Beach is only two blocks away, a popular family beach for many in the San Francisco Bay area. And the awesome Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, one of the oldest amusement parks in California, offers an historic wood roller coaster, other rides, games, and even free live music in the summer - an easy walk right from your front door!
Visit Municipal Wharf and listen to the calls of the sea lions, rent surf boards and hit Cowell's Beach in search of the perfect wave, or rent some bikes and explore some of the nearby paved trails. Other attractions include the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, a day trip to San Francisco, just under an hour and a half north or the world-famous Monterey Bay Aquarium, only 43 miles south.
Perfect for two couples traveling together with kids or a family getaway, this Central California Coast vacation rental will have everyone enjoying a sunny and adventure-filled Santa Cruz getaway!

Great location and very comfortable stay. We really enjoyed relaxing on the balcony and walking to the beach. Would definitely stay again!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jul 2025
Wonderful property, great location and views. The kitchen was one of the best stocked (cookware, flatware, etc.) kitchens (with basics) I have ever experienced in a short-term rental.
6.0 / 10.0Average·May 2025
Good value for the location and space. Was happy to see that the master bedroom was upgraded to a king bed (although the bed frame was EXTREMELY noisy). I agree with prior reviews that the smell on the first floor was a bit overwhelming when you first walk in but luckily it wasn’t an issue on the second or third floor. There were plenty of stairs but we had read this so we’re not surprised. Dragging the cooler up that narrow staircase was tricky but manageable. If you’re not fit or have good knees you may not enjoy this unit. Overall we did enjoy our stay and would have considered staying here again was I not so disappointed and annoyed by the limited supplies. The dish soap was tiny and I don’t think the dishwasher is functional since there was no dishwashing tabs or soap, no Kleenex for blowing noses and we ran out of toilet paper on our last evening. We contacted Vacasa to see if there was more toilet paper available somewhere in the unit to be told that it’s their policy to only provide two (very cheap and small) roles per bathroom. With young children and a four night stay I don’t think expecting a couple more roles is unfair. Its not that it was a huge deal to spend 3 bucks on a 4 pack, but rather the inconvenience of having to run out to a store on our last evening there when traffic is horrendous that was the annoyance. Please ensure the next guest has access to the extra roles we left for them on top of your two provided roles per bathroom ….
