Map & Owner's Profile
Allegra Villa Alla Spiaggia - See & Hear Ocean - Luxurious
Year Purchased: 2007
Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz
We love our area because it feels like a beach community. Our vacation rental is only a few doors from a terrific beach and located along a bike path. Since street parking during the summer is restricted to local homeowners and guests, the beach is not very crowded. The property needed a great deal of work when we purchased it, shortly after returning from a trip to Italy, and we spent most of 2008 remodeling. We decided that a Mediterranean theme was a good fit for the structure.
The Unique Benefits at this Upper Unit in Duplex
We like being close to the water, and that is how we feel when at our property. Not only do we have terrific views of the beach and the surf, but we can also hear the soothing sound of the waves crashing on the beach. It is very relaxing.
The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, where you can ride the historic Big Dipper and enjoy a great family outing, is about a 10 minute drive in one direction.
Capitola, where you can walk down the pier or cruise around the local shops, is less than 3 miles in the other direction.
Check out the lighthouse and some nice restaurants at the harbor, located about a mile from our property.
Experience some great surfing at Pleasure Point, located within walking distance of our property.
Owner's Map of Santa Cruz
After visiting Santa Cruz for years, we decided to purchase a property here. It is a fun place for families and couples, and a short escape from the Bay Area. We like being near the beach, and enjoy boogie boarding, body surfing, kite flying and other water activities. We also enjoy the other local amenities, including Capitola, the harbor and the Boardwalk. In addition, Monterey and Carmel are only an hour away.
