This beach house is real gem tucked away in a very private cul de sac accessing the Yacht harbor,and just a few short blocks to Twin Lakes or thru the harbor to be at Seabright Beach.Only 5 houses away from the Harbor! On weekends the free "Water Taxi" picks you up and takes you across to Seabright Beach,and will also drop you off at "The Crows Nest"!!

Once parked in the driveway,take in the luscious sea air,unwind and enjoy the ambiance.Our location and huge lot is the envy of the locals! The huge fenced backyard provides all the room and peace of mind parents need for their children to romp and play, and couples can enjoy the privacy.

If you are planning a trip to Santa Cruz,and are looking for a very private retreat- a few short blocks away from the density of beachfront- send us an e-mail for more details. It's a great find!!!Sweet quiet neighborhood.Improvements this year include new kitchen and flooring and more landscaping.

It's come to my attention that both google and yahoo have mapped it incorrectly!!-Mello Lane is a short block ending w/ a cul de sac. The Yacht Harbor staircase entrance at the end.It should show blue water at the end of Mello.Also our home is not on the corner-it is the 3rd from the corner on the left side.

The beach house is w/in walking distance of both Twin Lakes and Seabright beaches.It's a 5 minute drive to downtown for shopping, theatres and more great restaurants.Approx 3- 5 minutes to Capitola for their beaches,shopping,food and fun in the sun.

If you've been to New Orleans,we are what is called "a good house"-meaning it's not the Hilton,but comfortable with an AMAZING location-only legitimate inquiries please..........
Laissez Les Bon Temps Roulez!!!

Year Purchased: 2005

Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz

We rented in the area,each summer, for 12 years before purchasing our property.We tried out all the neighborhoods,including many oceanfront houses.Our experience was that oceanfront has it's perks, but it is very congested and noisy.The lots are very small,and require parking permits,not to mention expensive. We found an amazing spot! Mello Lane is tucked away, far from the madding crowd and after 8 p.m. you can hear a pin drop! Yet it's 5 blocks from the beach. It has a harbor access that none of the surrounding blocks have.We have made many improvements and when workmen arrive-who have lived in the area for most of their lives-they have commented that they didn't even know our block existed! It was named for John Mello who owned all the land for several blocks,before the harbor was created. It was a nature preserve and we have photos in our home of how it looked back then.It was divided into lots in the early 1930's-that's why the lots are so large.The house sits back away from the street and the backyard is huge by Santa Cruz standards.Mello Lane is only about 8 or 9 houses long,and then ends.There is a short walkway to the Harbor entrance stairs-so you are looking at all the boats and the bridge going toward the Boardwalk and Downtown.Location Location Location!!!

The Unique Benefits at this House

I stated it in the above paragraph.We also enjoy helping our guests plan their activities,providing a concierge service!
