My family stayed at the Ocean Rose for 5 nights and enjoyed every minute. Check-in was easy and the house was very clean. Lynn was quick to respond to any questions. The ocean view is wonderful as well as listening to the waves from the deck off the kitchen. There are wet suits, boogies boards, sand toys and chairs for all your beach needs. It is about a 5 minute walk down the hill to SeaCliff State Beach. The beach has a great walking path that takes you several beaches down and makes for a great morning or evening walk. We took advantage of the short walk to Marianne’s Ice Cream as well as Manuel’s Mexican Food...both are a must! The house is also about 20 minutes away from Santa Cruz Boardwalk and Wharf as well as 45 minutes from Big Basin Redwood State Park. I would recommend the Ocean Rose to anybody looking to stay in the area and hope to return sometime soon!
