Enjoy this stunning, totally new Beach house tucked away on a quiet street just 2 short blocks from Twin Lakes Beach - one of the best in Santa Cruz! This casually sophisticated retreat has 3 bedrooms, 3 full baths and is ideally suited for a family vacation or romantic get-a-way. The Designer built and furnished home away from home has it all: including a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, spacious living/dining room with stereo sound, HDTV and gas fireplace, two landscaped private patio areas, one with gas fire-pit and the other with a ping pong table. In addition you will find a shed full of beach chairs, bicycles, boogie boards, and sand toys for your fun in the sun.
BEDS AND BATHS
Master Suite, with views of Schwann Lake, this room features a plush pillow top Cal-King bed with beautiful Eqyptian cotton linens and a down comforter, bedside tables with reading lamps and a full size dresser. Adjoining the bedroom is the luxurious bath that is outfitted with honed Carrera marble, double vanities, a large shower and heated floors. You’ll also appreciate the plush towels, hair dryer and bath amenities.
Bedroom #2, with a large picture window, has two twin beds, a small dresser and bedside lamp.
Bedroom #3 is perfect for the kids and features two bunk beds with fluffy, surf themed comforters, a large window, nightstand and lamp.
The two guest bedrooms share the hall bath which includes two sinks, Seagrass limestone counters and floors, separate tub/shower/toilet room, plush towels, hair dryer and bath amenities.
Downstairs adjacent to a full bath is a “Comfort sleeper” queen size sofa bed. This is not your typical sofa bed, but rather a full length, temper-pedic mattress which feels like a high quality bed. This area also includes an armoire, side table and lamp.
White painted wainscot and grey limestone counters add to the style of the downstairs bath featuring a separate tub/shower/ toilet room, hair dryer, plush towels and bath amenities.
LIVING AREA
The kitchen will please even a discriminating chef who will appreciate the Bertazzoni gas range, French door refrigerator, large capacity dishwasher and microwave all surrounded by beautiful granite countertops. Fully stocked with quality pans, cutlery and dishes, as well as commonly used spices and condiments.
The Dining area accommodates seating for up to 8 people and there are three additional stools at the island. French doors open to the private patio beyond.
The Living room is appointed with casual seating for viewing the HD TV or listening to the stereo sound system while enjoying the warmth of the fire. Enjoy the outside from this area as well through another set of French doors.
Hang your beach towels and leave the flip- flops in the well thought out Mud/Laundry Room equipped with stack washer/dryer and a utility sink.
PATIOS
Enjoy the Sunny Front Patio, surrounded by lush flowering plants that includes a gas barbeque grill, built-in gas fire pit and teak furniture.
The private Back Patio is set up for family fun with a ping-pong table and access to bicycles, boogie boards and beach toys in the storage shed.
A warm water Outside Shower is located on the side of the house.
ACTIVITIES
The main attraction, is of course the beach, and the house is just a couple easy blocks to one of the sunniest, nicest beaches in Santa Cruz. Located just south of the Yacht Harbor, Twin Lakes Beach has a mile of uninterrupted white sand, fire-pits and lifeguards. There are also two restaurants, a coffee house, surf shop and bathrooms. Relax and play in the sand, rent a boat or kayak, boogie board, play beach volleyball and enjoy fabulous sunsets.
Visit “the hook” or Cowell’s beach for great surfing, hang out at the Santa Cruz Boardwalk amusement park, check out the shops and restaurants in Downtown Santa Cruz or nearby Capitola Village, hike the beautiful trails in the redwood forest or bike along the coastline - all of which are just minutes away.
And, don’t miss the incredible sea life at the Monterey Bay Aqurium located just forty minutes South of Santa Cruz.
Keywords: Live Oak, Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor, Walk to beach, restaurants, tennis, kayaking and shops. Fully stocked and filled with designer amenities.

We rented this beach house to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday with a couple of her friends. The home was tastefully and meticulously remodeled and very comfortable. The location was a quick 3 minute walk to the beach and the home was equiped with everything we needed for our stay. We all had a wonderful experience.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, families with teenagers, sightseeing.

I can't say enough good things about this beautiful home. Close to the beach but not too close that you have all the traffic. Beautifully decorated with all the extras. My husband and I stayed here with our daughter and a few of her friends to celebrate her birthday. It was such a lovely home, perfect for families with kids. The only downside was I wished we could have stayed longer. I've recommended it to all my friends and they want to come now in the summer. We want to come back, too.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We stayed at this beach house for a girls weekend and we fell in love with it. Newly remodeled and highest quality of appliances and decor! Everything was very well organized and the instructions that were sent to us upon arrival were very detailed! We used the firepit at night to roast marshmallows and enjoyed the ambiance! The beds and sheets on all the beds were very comfortable and high quality! The house was spotless and very clean. We would all DEFINATELY rent this house again and bring our families! Thanks again so much for a great weekend. Juli, lodi CARecommended for: Age 55+, romantic getaway, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

We spend an extended weekend here to celebrate my Dad's 70th B-day with family and it was perfect. It was like living in a model home! Included every necessary amenity and cooking on that stove was a chef's dream! Evenings around the firepit and days at the beach.....was hard to leave!Recommended for: Age 55+, families with teenagers, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.

The house is a dream - location, ambience and space both indoors and out. Loved the bird's morning songs, walks to the beach and the friendly neighbors. Blessed are we to live in California. Look forward to returning. Thank you again!Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0
