    I used to live in Santa Cruz and used these places a few times when my parents came over to stay.

    ("Pacific highway" is a little vague though. I suspect you want southern california.)

    I'm moving your thread to the United States forum to see if you get a few more replies.

    Ah well try those links I posted. They're both good reliable agencies.

    Santa cruz county is the north side of monterey bay, monterey is on the south side. Santa cruz is sheltered and beachy while monterey is more windswept.

    Within santa cruz county, the city (town!) of santa cruz has a big beach and funfair but isnt the best for a vacation rental house. For that try Capitola, just south of santa cruz:

    Or Aptos, which is just south of Capitola. Most of the houses along the beach road would be rentals:

    I've never actually driven it but it looks like about a days drive. You certainly wouldnt go there and back in a day. It would be a beautiful drive though.

    You'd like capitola I think. The funfair in santa cruz is a few miles north and monterey is about an hours drive south. San Fransisco is about 2hrs drive north.
