Map & Owner's Profile
12th Ave Beach Cottage Steps from Twin Lakes Beach, Santa Cruz
Year Purchased: 2008
Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz
We love this specific area of Santa Cruz. It's wonderful to be just steps away from the less crowded part of Twin Lakes Beach with out crossing any streets. Our kids love to go back and forth from our cottages to the beach all day long! It's a peaceful, family friendly area.
The Unique Benefits at this Cottage
Two cottages are SO MUCH BETTER than a 3 bedroom house, especially as our children approach their teenage years! We can easily spread out across the two cottages (each with its own living area) if we need our own "space", but are always together for meals and plenty of family time.

We’re two families from Silicon Valley who jointly own these two wonderful beach cottages. Enjoy!
