Evan & Anja’s place is “a dream” as people on my Instagram called it after watching my stories. Not only are the views pretty incredible, but the location (along with all the extras in the home) made it an absolutely terrific stay 😁
We arrived later at night after a 6+ hour cruise from Newport Beach along PCH. We did have a small issue upon arrival where the water was shut off by the fire department due to a leaky hose (which was initially a bit concerning), but Evan was incredibly responsive & helpful in getting it cleared up ASAP. The following morning we were woken up by a beautiful sunrise view directly outside of our window in the master bedroom. The neighborhood was already active by 9am with people walking, skating, and surfing.
The home was filled with sunlight, which we absolutely loved. We ate a quick breakfast & explored the area with the super awesome electric bikes, all of which ran perfectly. Along with that, the home also had a number of surfboards & wetsuits which was absolutely perfect for a quick morning surf. Beach access was literally a 2-3 minute walk and I enjoyed the swell. Following that, we hung out in the hot tub overlooking the ocean, hopped from cold shower to sauna (which fit 2 of us quite easily, and could possibly fit 3), and enjoyed the location in Evan & Anja's beach home!
Aside from a couple of small issues (general cleanliness, small finishing details around the home, firetruck on arrival, etc), we really enjoyed our stay! Evan is a great host, with a very well-thought out Airbnb.
If you are looking to experience what living life on the beaches of Santa Cruz feels like, this is definitely the place to check out!
