Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz
We built the house for ourselves to live in and we lived there for eight years until we grew out of it when our kids needed their own rooms.The house is perfectly set up for small families or a couple.We thought it would be great for a vacation house and it has worked out great for all of our guests.

The house is located a block up from one of the best beaches in Santa Cruz.It has a deluxe Dimension One spa,outdoor shower,beautifully landscaped yard,privacy plantings surrounding the property,two bikes and a baby jogger for guests to use and the inside is immaculately maintained.
