Savor the Santa Cruz Sunshine
Moments upon waking, you could easily find yourself scanning the horizon for breaching whales. Fresh ocean breezes go well with your morning coffee (especially when you’re still in your bathrobe and bare feet) and nothing quite compares to the feeling of emerging into the sunshine for a day of adventure after a satisfying night of sleep.
These experiences are typical when staying in a California vacation rental…and will highlight the best of Santa Cruz. Not that you’ll need much help when it comes to enjoying this charming town on the Central Coast. For starters, Monterey Bay is the site of Santa Cruz’s famous Beach Boardwalk, where it’s possible to take a ride on The Giant Dipper (an old wooden rollercoaster), play some pinball and maybe even snag some cotton candy for old time’s sake. Not every Historic Landmark is this much fun, so be sure to take advantage.
Santa Cruz, also known as Surf City, will also treat you to a leisurely and pleasant day of strolling and shopping downtown. Nature lovers will love exploring the Pajaro Valley and a calendar filled with special events and festivals means that you could end up with the chance to truly absorb the culture of this wine-loving, bird-watching, restaurant-filled and action-packed locale.
Paired with a convenient beach house that makes you feel like royalty or a bungalow on the river that’s as peaceful a place as you can imagine, it’s easy to see that a Santa Cruz vacation will keep you busy when you want to be and unencumbered when you don’t.
Book a vacation rental in Santa Cruz today and then let the countdown to California bliss begin.
