"Ultimate family getaway. The owner really thought of everything, from kids bikes to wet suits to sand toys. We've stayed here multiple times with the family. Most places feel cramped with the lot of us but not this house. Great social areas but we also have our space. Kitchen is huge. Being so close to the beach is perfect. Hanging out at the beach there makes you feel like a local. Great views from the balcony. Hard to find other places that are dog friendly, with a fenced in yard for them to play. We will keep coming back!"

"This beach house is fantastic. Wow what a wonderful experience staying at the 26th avenue beach house has been. We enjoyed a week long family reunion in concert with my sister's wedding and it has been as warm and wonderful as one could imagine. The home is large and comfortable with a great fully equipped kitchen, nice dining area, big great room with fireplace and plenty of bedrooms and nooks as well. The views are spectacular- your practically right over the beach and the the Monterey Bay is just so picturesque. Really lovely experience this beach house is. I'd definitely recommend this beach house to any family or group who wants to have one of those remember forever experiences. All the descriptions advertised are accurate. We have nothing to complain about at all. The owner was very helpful- she expressed that she wanted everything to be right for our special occasion and I thought that was very sweet."

Owned and Run by a Local Small Business
Abante Realty, LLC is family owned and managed by Jean, a San Francisco Bay Area native who grew up visiting the beaches in Santa Cruz. She continued the tradition when she grew up and started her own family, visiting Santa Cruz during long weekends and the holidays. It had always been a dream of hers to have a house in Santa Cruz and in 2007, while visiting the 26th Ave Beach, she saw this property was for sale... did the math... and decided to finance her dream by running it as a vacation rental. Jean has managed the property with the help of her family since then!
​
When the property isn't being enjoyed by guests, the owners and their family and friends come to visit. They have had many family reunions there and have made some of their fondest memories at the beach house and on the 26th Ave Beach, and find great enjoyment in helping others make similar memories.
