Beach House sits atop the bluff at the end of 19th Avenue in the Live Oak District of Santa Cruz. The view, the sound of the surf, the smell of pine and eucalyptus, and the salt air make this a special spot. The house faces the Bay and is flooded with natural light all-day. The great room overlooks Monterey Bay and gives you an unobstructed view of the water and the beach. The great room easily becomes an in-door/out-door space once the glass deck doors are slid away. The Bay, the waves, Monterey peninsula, even the window frames, provide a back drop or focal points for your shots. The en-suite master bedroom space and ground floor bedroom give you separate spaces for hair and make-up prep, changing, and props. There is also space indoors and outside for supplemental lights as desired. The property is surrounded by a 1920s stone wall of river rock and beach rocks. The back yard deck is 275 sq. ft. with a fire pit. The deck and the entry ramp are redwood planks. Both have the Bay and the rock wall as backdrops. If you will be feeding your crew, there is a full kitchen in the great room that is well-equipped for anything from coffee breaks to full sit-down meals. The home has an entry ramp, an elevator, and bathrooms on both floors that are handicap accessible. Stairs to the beach and the tide pools - there are 30 wooden steps - is one block south on 20th Avenue. Free street parking is available during the week.

Stunning location &, Responsive host = dream location. Hoping to come back for other projects in the future. Listening to the ocean all day while working was just amazing and a pleasure! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

I could not have asked for a better venue to host my engagement party. The venue was beautiful, beach facing, well provisioned right from kitchenware, to furniture and other amenities. The space was perfect for a party of 20 people, and we were even allowed to decorate the place up for our engagement with balloons, photo booth etc among other things. The great room has a tv with which we could host games for all 20 people who could comfortably be seated. The kitchen was well equipped, and we could arrange our buffet style lunch on the kitchen counter with ease. The Sonos speaker system is available throughout the house, and we could easily set the party vibe. Above all, the ocean view from the patio made it very dreamy. A word on the hosts. Claudia and Berkeley were super accommodative in allowing us to arrive a bit early to get the house decorated, and even allowed me to call an event planner to help decorate the house with balloons and flowers. The hosts were gracious enough to keep providing us with updates on the house with pictures, and even gave us a full house tour, with suggestions on how to decorate it. They fully understood how important the occasion was for us, and helped us out thoroughly, which even made us feel like they were a part of our day ! I would whole-heartedly recommend this place for anyone wanting to host a nice warm home-style beach party, and we will book this place in future !

Unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy this beautiful home. Claudia was awesome and responsive throughout the booking experience. I had to reschedule and she was gracious and accommodating.

Great location and space!

Claudia is a pleasure to work with. I was delighted to rent her family’s lovely beach home for my professional photo shoot. The amenities are comfortable. The house is spacious and airy, with a short walk to the beach. I look forward to renting again when I can spend more time enjoying the space instead of working.
