What guests think
At La Selva Beach Ocean Front Townhome - Direct Beach & Ocean Access, travelers praise the spectacular oceanfront views, soothing wave sounds, easy beach access, and a spacious multi-level layout that suits families and groups seeking a quiet, uncrowded shoreline escape.
Several reviews highlight a hot tub and a well-equipped home, though a few note maintenance or access issues and confusion around hot-tub cleaning or availability. Cleanliness is mostly praised but inconsistent, with isolated reports of sandy or unclean bedding, dirty floors, and a bathroom needing work. The multi-level design involves many stairs, and it also works well as a base for trips to Santa Cruz and Monterey; overall, expect a tranquil, group-friendly stay.

I stayed with my twin daughters (18y) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Falling asleep to the crashing waves, enjoying the deck at sunset, and the hot tub before bed made it a truly relaxing experience. The location was great for day trips to Monterey, Santa Cuz, Miss Landing, even hiking Big Sur if you leave early.

We really enjoyed the location, and it was nice that two couples could each have a floor, plus the kids in their own space! We made good use of the spa and sauna, and loved the easy access to the beach. Be aware: there are A LOT of stairs - each floor has high ceilings, so maybe more stairs than anticipated. And the spiral staircase to the bottom floor is fairly narrow, so carrying luggage/beach toys to the bottom floor might be more easily accomplished by walking around!

Lovely property which seemed like we had our own private beach. There is no grocery shopping or restaurants close and we thought the rental had a hot tub but really enjoyed our stay, Beach towels, beach chair and beach toys were available. I could watch the kids on the beach from the porch. I would rent the property again.

While slightly funky this property has an amazing view, fairly easy access to the beach, a hot tub (!), and is well apportioned. I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Loved watching the ocean, the birds, the seals, the porpoises etc. The fireplace was so cozy and easy access to Santa Cruz and surrounding cities.

Contacted agent 5 times over 3 days to get extra car pass. She never called back. She finally said they are in the binder on the coffee table. It is posted 2 places that the hot tub was cleaned on Monday! We are on the beach on Friday and see a man in our unit doing something with the hot tub. We were quite upset that someone had come in with all of our personal belongs laying around. There was no notice that someone was coming. Agent said they clean Monday And Friday. Both signs say Monday, nothing about Friday!! Agent doesn’t seem to know much about anything. And there was sand in the hot tub. Not from us, already there! One burner on the stove doesn’t work. I tried calling when we saw the man in our unit and the emergency number went right to voice mail.Our stay was just ok. I wouldn’t rent from this agency again.

Gorgeous spot. Comfortable beds. Beautiful house. The beach is gorgeous. The 2 queen beds had lots of sand and hairs in both beds… I don’t know that they were changed. The other beds seemed clean though. The floors were really dirty. Definitely couldn’t go barefoot unless you want super brown, dirt, hair, sand on your feet. But everything else with the house was great. The last side note is that they were having red tide (not the fault of the owners of the VRBO obviously but it would be nice if they noted to watch for it) - we didn’t know what that was but talking to other locals on the beach they let us know it wasn’t safe to swim (but our kids were already in) and that it happens every year around this time (beginning of October). We had 3 out of 5 kids show symptoms after swimming. We pulled them out as soon as we were told (they were only in the water maybe 15 min!) but we didn’t know and wish we had. The property overall was great though and we enjoyed our stay. We loved being able to roast hotdogs and marshmallows on the beach. And the views are stunning. It is a great place to stay right on the water.

The location can't be beat. Very roomy inside and nice to have two living areas. It wasn't as clean as we expected for the housekeeping fee and the enormous deposit we had to put down. I probably wouldn't rent again because of the deposit which was kept over a month which means you actually have to pay that amount out to your credit card.

A beautiful place to get away and unwind at the beach. I have stayed in a house like this before when my friend owned one and it brought back such incredible memories. If you love to stroll on the beach with hardly anyone around this is your place to get away and unwind. The house was clean had all the appropriate amenities and was perfect. Can’t wait to book again.

It was nice to be able to have a space for the children to enjoy themselves as well as a separate space for the adults to mingle. We definitely recommend this condo to anyone looking for a cozy, spacious and comfortable place to enjoy a swmi private beach.

We have a family reunion every year centered around our own condo in same complex as this one. So we're prejudiced! This is a wonderful way beach vacation. Walk down the stairs and on you're on a gorgeous uncrowded beach with great boogie boarding waves. Fall asleep watching and listening to the waves. Enjoy meals and relaxation while watching the sun go down over the ocean. What more could you want?

I stayed with my twin daughters (18y) and we thoroughly enjoyed it. Falling asleep to the crashing waves, enjoying the deck at sunset, and the hot tub before bed made it a truly relaxing experience. The location was great for day trips to Monterey, Santa Cuz, Miss Landing, even hiking Big Sur if you leave early.

Lovely property which seemed like we had our own private beach. There is no grocery shopping or restaurants close and we thought the rental had a hot tub but really enjoyed our stay, Beach towels, beach chair and beach toys were available. I could watch the kids on the beach from the porch. I would rent the property again.

A beautiful place to get away and unwind at the beach. I have stayed in a house like this before when my friend owned one and it brought back such incredible memories. If you love to stroll on the beach with hardly anyone around this is your place to get away and unwind. The house was clean had all the appropriate amenities and was perfect. Can’t wait to book again.

We had a wonderful stay. We really enjoyed the home and its location. The beach access was easy going. My family and I are looking to book this again…

The house is situated on the beach. The views were spectacular. The location can't be beat.

Beautiful secluded townhome on the beach! Morning walks with coffee and tons of sand dollars. Never more than a dozen or so people on the beach. Going to sleep to the crashing of the waves. Also, driving distance to Santa Cruz and Monterrey. It was a perfect girls weekend!

Everything was pretty much as advertised. I am not sure if we got "lucky" with the weather, but it was perfect weather which made the stay exceptionally nice. The pros of the location included the semi-private beach (i.e. no crowds), the sunsets, well-equipped kitchen, ability to have a fire on the beach, and the responsiveness of the owner.Things to consider if you are thinking of booking include (i) if stairs are hard for members of your party, it could be a challenge and (ii) if you are wanting restaurants/stores within walking distance, this is not necessarily an ideal location. When the largest complaint was that sometimes the waves crashing were a bit loud to sleep when the windows were open ;-), it is a good spot to visit!
