Cheap family beach vacations to Santa Cruz are a brilliant idea; not only is there something to keep every member of the family happy, but you can also save money by renting a beach house in Santa Cruz – rather than reserving more than one hotel room to accommodate you and your kids!

You can have a private retreat by renting one of the many amazing vacation homes in Santa Cruz.

Santa Cruz is nicknamed “Surf City,” so it’s probably a good idea to hit the waves – whether you're an amateur or pro surfer. But there’s also fishing, kayaking, and a number of other activities on the water to enjoy! Or maybe you’d prefer to just get a tan or perhaps a glimpse of a sea lion.

Everybody will love the Boardwalk and Santa Cruz’s other family-friendly attractions as well. Whether it’s kiteboarding or shopping you enjoy, you will surely have a good time if you stay in one of the Santa Cruz vacation rentals found here.

California is known for some of the most innovative summer sports and fun on the water, so become a part of it by staying in one of these great Santa Cruz vacation home rentals.
