About this property

Aloha Get Away! Need a comfy place to get away too!

This is a 31-day vacation rental. Perfect for a snowbird. You don’t need to go very far to enjoy the sun and surf. One block from the beach located off of East Cliff Drive between Capitola and Yacht Harbor. This hideaway is ideal for a couple. This second-story one-bedroom, one-bath, is warm, comfortable, and very inviting. Gourmet kitchen and great room look out at an outside deck. The outside deck allows you to BBQ and check out the waves at the beach along with a view of the lagoon. This 700 sqft.a guest house has all new floors, tile work, appliances, cabinetry, countertops, and home décor. It is adjacent to the Hawaiian Style Beach House VRBO #123636
, but shares no common walls or hot water and is very private.

Includes all linens, towels, and bedding along with wireless internet access, and LCD HDTV.

So you don’t waste time getting to the beach we have beach chairs, towels, and a couple of boogie boards for your use while you stay at Hale Nalu.

Why stay at Hawaiian Hideaway: This house is a perfect place for people who want to spend time at the beach. The beach is only a short block away. It is a beautiful beach and wonderful for long walks and for all types of beach activities. The beach is not a crowded beach and is only for the locals in the area. The house itself is ideal for guests who like to spend the night at home with BBQ on the outside deck, Plasma T.V., and a gourmet kitchen. Or if you like to go out at night the house is located 2 miles from Capitola, which is a beach town loaded with lots of restaurants and shops. The Santa Cruz Boardwalk is located 3 miles and has activities for all generations. The entire Monterrey Bay has a great number of things to see and do. You could take day trips to see the Monterrey Bay Aquarium and to Carmel. I provide a Welcome Book at the house, which is loaded with things to see and do. The benefit of staying at this guesthouse is the location and the renovations, which allow you to be very comfortable.

What activities are close to the house?: Beach Activities: The ocean is one block from the house and is loaded with things to do. There is surfing, boogie boarding, skimboarding, swimming, and a great beach for long walks. Don’t miss the tide pools in the rocks and great boogie boarding at Sunny Cove located to the far right side of the beach and around the corner.

Surfing: One of the best surfing beaches in all of California is just a mile south. Pleasure Point begins at 33rd Ave. and goes until 41st Ave. Another good beginner break is Cowell’s Beach, which is just north of the Santa Cruz wharf 3 miles away. For big waves, especially in the winter months, there is Steamer Lane, which is a little further north along West Cliff Drive at Lighthouse Point. This is also a great place to watch some of California’s best surfers. Most surf shops offer rentals and several outfitters that offer lessons are attached below.

Other activities include Biking, Beach Volleyball, Kayaking, and great Running along the coast.

Cozy getaway near the beach

The home was in a great location - one block from the beach and we saw many water birds in the lagoon next door! Also close to the harbor, shopping and other fun activities. Thanks!

Wonderful location!

The cozy apartment is very functional in terms of the nice kitchen, BBQ, and spacious living room but the location is the best part! The one-block to one of the nicest beaches we have ever seen, it was a treat to walk and search for beach glass. Great restaurants, hiking, urban walks - we will be back!

Relaxing Getaway

The Hideaway was comfortable and had everything we needed. The deck faced the ocean, and while it's not beachfront, we could watch sailboats in the evening, and muted sunsets. It's very walkable (short block to the beach) to coffee and a few restaurants, and an easy drive to lots of good hiking spots. It's was exactly the getaway we hoped for.

About the host

Hosted by Lori

We are the Talbot family and we live in the East Bay of San Francisco. When we bought our vacation rental our kids were 9 and 12, and we wanted a place we could all have fun. We wanted to embrace the Santa Cruz life style with a beach house style home. I was born and raised in Hawaii and I wanted a home away from home. So the island decor fit perfect with the house location to the surf, beach and the Aloha Grill down the street. The beach, which is a short walk away was perfect for us. It has boogie boarding, surfing, great sand for sand castles and wonderful views. The beach has no public parking so it is inhabited by mostly locals and doesn't get to crowded. Also at night it is a great beach for bonfires.

Why they chose this property

There is nothing like listening to the waves crash on the shore or to watch the sunset. We wanted at place we could all enjoy as a family or with friends. What I have come to enjoy is sharing this house with guest from all over the country and the world. I truly enjoy all the wonderful comments we receive about the house. It has become a special place for many others who have stayed here. It is very comfortable, and relaxing. We try to have everything you would like on vacation at your finger tips. It is a great location for all generations. Not far is the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, which fun for all kids. The beach is great for swimming, catching waves, watching sea life and just taking a walk. We hope you come and stay and experience what we have enjoyed.
