Ocean View, 160 18th Avenue, 4 Homes from Beach - Santa Cruz

Year Purchased: 1999

Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz

As a child my family would drive from Santa Clara Valley with four kids.We would meet up with another family with four kids .Play pens, tons of towels and all necessry items for the perfect day at the beach would be carried down to "Sunny Cove Beach". After a long day it was time to stop a Mariannes Ice Cream, which is still on Ocean Street, and back over the hill we would go.Ocean View Cottage is just 7 homes from "Sunny Cove Beach". When I go to the house it brings back feelings of carefree days.

The Unique Benefits at this House

California Living in Comfort. At Ocean View Cottage you can relax on the deck and watch the sailboats go by. Even if everyone goes to the beach you can still enjoy the coast.Lovely afternoon sun filters through the Cypress Hedge that surrounds the home. The pelicans fly overhead as well as rare birds from the wildlife lagoon nearby.This very comfortable home has the perfect floor plan, making living a breeze. There is also a very deep tub to warm up after a swim, plus a hot outdoor shower. Located on a cottage lined street just 7 homes to the best beaches in Santa Cruz. Walking distance to several points of interest and fun restaurants.

Owner's Map of Santa Cruz

A resident of Santa Cruz since 1971! My dream was to own a home close to the beach where I could see the beautiful blue water, smell the fresh ocean air, listen to the waves, and enjoy the wildlife and the sounds of people playing.

Sunny California

Guest: BH (-)
Date of Stay: 12/22/09 Review Submitted: 04/25/10

We returned last night to sub-zero temperatures and about 6 inches of snow after 16 days in sunny California. We thoroughly enjoyed your house. It worked out well for our family and the location is superb. The deck out front got a lot of use as we absorbed as many rays as possible... Thanks for returning the deposit so promptly. I really appreciate not having to think abot it.
