Pleasure Point Cottage

Summary:

Two bedroom dog-friendly cottage just blocks from the beach in Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz!



The Space:

Pleasure Point Cottage makes the perfect home base for a great adventure on Monterey Bay, nestled halfway between San Francisco and Carmel-by-the Sea.  Short-term Rental Permit #221263.



This two-bedroom cottage is a part of a friendly triplex, boasting a well-equipped kitchen with all basic appliances, including a gas stove, dishwasher, microwave, electric coffee pot, dishes, and cookware.



The master bedroom presents a queen size bed, fresh linens, an open beam ceiling, and a walk-in closet. The second bedroom features two extra-long twin size beds, comfortable for both adults and children. A high chair and portable crib are available upon request.



Uniquely, this attached cottage offers off-street parking and its own private, fenced yard. All utilities are included - Smart TV, Wi-Fi, laundry, gardener, BBQ, and an outdoor table. We warmly welcome your dog too! They will surely appreciate the fenced yard and walks throughout the pet-friendly neighborhood. There will be a $50 non-refundable pet fee charged once your booking is confirmed.



Please note, the non-coin-operated laundry room, trash bins, and parking areas are amenities shared with the two other cottages in the triplex.



Pleasure Point is a charming coastal hub with a thriving surf scene! A range of reef and beach breaks line the enticing Pacific stretch that Pleasure Point dominates, from the outskirts of Santa Cruz down to the pier at Capitola. Every culinary taste is catered for with a myriad of international dining options, and from the dog-friendly beaches to the bustling commercial and entertainment sectors, Pleasure Point offers all the benefits of the quintessential California lifestyle.

We love staying here! The yard is perfect and secure for dogs and the house has everything we need. We love the easy morning walk to Cat & Cloud for coffee and a pup cup and the evening walk to the cliffs over the ocean to watch the surfers and the sunset. It is in the perfect location!
