Birthday getaway
This was the perfect place for us to stay to celebrate my birthday. Our family loves coming to Seascape and this rental had a gorgeous view of the ocean and all of the trees shading the path down to the beach. We were close to the pool/ spa and the trail going down to the beach which was so convenient. Communication with the property manager was excellent. We hope to stay here again soon.

Dirty, Run Down Unit
For 300-500 per night, this is a huge disappointment due to its poor condition, lack of cleanliness, old appliances and cheap furniture.It's really not a good property.* *RENT ELSEWHERE * *You've been forewarned; here are the details of our stay.The kitchenette is a badly dated, bare bones, college apartment set-up from the early 1990's. A 2 burner cook top without oven. A 3/4 dishwasher, you must run twice because it can't digest a dishwasher packet. A small refrigerator with mildewed seal that freezes the fridge and thaws the freezer.I found a coffee cup that appeared to have leftover coffee, or remnants of a potted plant. Who knows which? Bring paper towels as the 5 kitchen towels were as suspect as the dishes.The Bathroom vanity is so low I can only guess which body part I'm supposed to wash in there. The wall paper was peeled off long ago leaving wall paper texture behind. The bathroom fixtures are a mix of polished chrome, brass, dented brushed bath spout and mildewed white plastic shower head. The pocket doors have months of caked on black dust because the HVAC has no filter and the crew doesn't wipe them down. Wall texture overspray is all over the towel ring, on the mirror and shower rod. Bath towels are cheap.The bedroom only has a queen bed and cheap, old furniture.The living room furniture is garage sale quality with a collapsing coffee table and decaying red leather chairs.Have I said enough about the poor value of this 300-500/night unit?

Beautiful spot
Everything was as listed. We had to wash the windows so that we had a better view of the ocean. The 1 shared washer and dryer were in a dark and dirty spot under the stairwell.
This condo had the best deck size than the other condos near us because it was on a corner and the deck wrapped around the corner.

Staycation!
We love Seascape! The unit is clean and the rental process is seamless. The view is beautiful and the balcony space is very nice. Although not technically a 'corner unit' - it does feel private. The unit is in one of the front buildings, located close to the main resort entrance. Ample parking available. Heads up for future guests, the gates at the closest pool were locked, so we had to access it through the lobby. Pool towels were not available on site, but may be requested from the front desk. The beach is a little bit of a walk down a path and worth the walk back up!!!! Great get-away and would rent this place again - 5 stars

Relaxing weekend
My family and I stayed here for a short weekend trip to Santa Cruz. The cost for amenities was reasonable, especially for being so close to the beach. We have two younger kids and the grounds are kid friendly. Listing details are accurate. Although the condo had a few warn items and kitchenette was a bit dated, everything worked fine. This condo has the necessities needed to cook breakfast, lunch, & dinner. Beach was about a quarter mile walk from condo and the condo had two beach chairs to use at the beach. This condo is on the first level, on top of garage. If your one that worries about little ones making too much noise when walking around, no worries needed in this unit. We only heard the neighbors above us a couple of times (I think they were heavy walkers), no noise from garage, over all quiet. My husband is a light sleeper and he slept well. Plenty of bed linens, towels and pillows. We will be coming back next year.

Beautiful location for a nice weekend getaway with the family.
The pictures represented this property correctly.I should have googled the Seascape resort Map and I would have found the location better on Friday night after dark, but after a little searching, we found it. My wife and I enjoyed the room, proximity to the front desk, and pools. I was happy my stepson had his own space, but was envious that his pull out bed was near the fireplace and larger TV. The kitchen was great to have especially the fridge and coffee machine

Great a family with young children
We (2 adults and 2 preschoolers) spent our New Year’s Eve weekend here and had a wonderful time. We could see the ocean from the balcony. It is near a pool/jacuzzi, Sanderlings Restaurant, and the path down to the beach. There is also a playground a short walk away. The four of us slept comfortably. We did not spend a whole of time inside. If we had to stay in, it had all the essentials we need. The check-in and check-out process was a breeze. We will book this place for retuning visits.
