ADDRESSING CORONAVIRUS CONCERNS:

Beachnest Vacation Rentals has always focused on delivering professionalism and exceptional customer service to travelers visiting Santa Cruz County. During this time of uncertainty in the travel market, we want to bring to light some of the advantages of staying in a vacation rental. For our friends within driving distance, this means being able to drive to the coast in the comfort of your own vehicle, prepare your meals in a well-provisioned kitchen, and sleep in your own private vacation home, thereby avoiding more communal environments. Cleanliness and safety in our homes is always our number one priority, and I want to personally assure you that we have expanded our already strict cleaning protocols and added additional housekeeping staff to take extra precautions between guests. We are sanitizing all high touch surfaces such as door knobs, light switches, faucets, and handles and opening windows and doors to allow fresh salt air to circulate, and we have outfitted each rental with disinfectants that can be used by guests that are in-house.

Testimonials

One of the best places we’ve ever stayed
Peter Stayed with us May 2021
This is a spectacular place for an extended family to stay if they are not too fussy about the condition of the rooms, showers, outside furniture, etc. Really, I’d go back there in a heartbeat! There are two nice bedrooms in the main building with an ok shower and a kinda bathtub between them. The guest house has two bedrooms each with two twin beds (with flimsy, detached headboards) and a sink. There is a shared bathroom between them with an aging shower that does work ok. The guest house also has a separate laundry room and a separate shower/bathroom accessible only from the outside. But, what really works is the patio, the yard and the instant, easy access to the beach. We were 3 grandparents, 2 parents, and a 2-year old. We all found places to sleep (the kid slept on a portable mattress on the floor of one of the bedrooms in the main building. But, in reality, we spent virtually all our time outside on the spacious deck which always had places for both sun and shade. And it was beautiful just being there with the cool breeze blowing and the ocean just feet away. It is a truly magical place. The kitchen is ok. The stove and oven are old and work ok. There is no garbage disposal (that may be a community rule). Garbage was a problem and the main cans in the garage aren’t marked for what goes in them and they are insufficient. The utensils and pans, etc. were kinda “historic”. But, don’t forget, while you are there, you are THERE. And, THERE is totally wonderful!

Amazing Location!
Michelle Stayed with us Apr 2021
This property has an ideal location! It is literally on Seacliff State Beach, however, it feels like you have a private beach. Although the beach is open to the public, the area right in front of the house is low traffic. Our kids were on the beach ALL DAY long. Another bonus is that you can walk at least a mile each way on the beach. We enjoyed morning runs and sunset walks each day. On numerous occasions we saw dolphins and seals.
The house is a cute, older beach home. It was very clean and we enjoyed the separation between the main house and the cottages. It was great having 3 bathrooms, all with a shower, and an additional heated outdoor shower at the back of the house. There is plenty of outdoor furniture, so you can really enjoy the ocean even while not on the sand.
This home would be an all around 5 star, if it was priced lower. For its current rate, I believe it should have more amenities in the kitchen including basic condiments, sugar and spices. It would also be nice to have cushions on all outdoor furniture for that price point. I would return again, however I feel that if it was more reasonably priced other families could enjoy this jewel.
