About this house rental
Designer home and legal short-term rental with its own private half-acre backyard oasis and canyon, right in town. Take a hot tub dip under the trees and watch the wildlife, yet still be walking distance to restaurants and cafes, and only one mile to the ocean, downtown, and UCSC. This is the perfect place for people who are tired of staying at airbnbs that lack amenities or aesthetic quality: there is everything you need here to enjoy a luxury vacation!
Our home is a fully legal short-term rental: Santa Cruz is very strict about this, so know that if you book an unpermitted rental your reservation could be canceled. It's happened to us before as travelers. You can rest assured knowing that your stay here is approved by the city!
The house includes a hot tub, outdoor fire pit, designer furniture and decor, fully fenced in yard for pets, non-toxic and eco-friendly linens and supplies, TV with Netflix and more, and a chef's kitchen. It is filled with sunlight at all times of the day. All beds are sublimely comfortable: there is a king sized bed in the master bedroom, a queen bed in the second master, and a twin daybed in the third room. We can also provide an airbed and/or a crib.
If you have been looking for a rental that is high quality, aesthetically thoughtful and pleasing, and does not lack in supplies or amenities-- this is it. It's difficult to describe the beauty of this house and the very special backyard until you see it in person. We really lucked out finding it and are excited to share it with fellow airbnb-ers who are visiting Santa Cruz. We know you will love it. Pets are welcome and we don't discriminate against breeds.
Heating is available year-round but please note that our radiant (central) heating system is seasonally operative from mid-October to June 1st only. Still, in two out of three bedrooms, there is a wall heater that works fantastically should you need heat when our radiant heat is off. We provide space heaters for the other room and a gas fireplace that produces a lot of heat as well. Our central heater is only available October-June because it is an old radiant heating system that uses a lot of water to heat the house and during the warmer months, the city of Santa Cruz requires us to keep our water use to a minimum. Generally the house stays above 68 degrees in those warmer months even without the fireplace, wall heaters, or space heaters on.
