Exceptional value! Perfect for small families or people with pets. This immaculate quiet, super comfortable and very clean beach home is offered as a weekly vacation rental (or weekend retreat during low season). Our two-bedroom/two-bath home, which sleeps six comfortably, is 1 short block to the ocean and one of the best beaches around. There is full beach access with newly-constructed stairs down to the sand.
We are located close to some of the best surf spots in the world. Watch for the dolphins and sea otters cruising with the surfers. You'll spot them easily from shore. Nearby you can visit Capitola for shopping, wine tasting and dining. Or visit Pacific Street in downtown Santa Cruz for a unique shopping experience. Both are less than a 15 minute drive from our home.
Our home is tastefully decorated in a contemporary style with a soothing and warm tropical feel and lacks of nothing, with an open living room, large eating/game room, large bedrooms with comfortable bedding, clean fresh towels and linen, a kitchen stocked with all the utensils required to make a beautiful and tasty meal and newly remodeled bathrooms, with a zen feel and personal soaps and amenities to make you feel like you are in a 5 star hotel.
The property is fenced in, perfect for pet owners or families with small children. The yard is large and has a firepit for roasting marshmallows or hanging out on cold nights around the fire.
The Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor is a quick drive as well as the world famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, all within minutes of our place. Or just pamper yourself with a spa treatment in town or at one of the many coffee hang-outs or bookstores nearby.
Perfect for a peaceful romantic get-away, or a fun family vacation. We are located 30 minutes from Monterey and Carmel, 45 minutes from Half Moon Bay and the Silicon Valley, and one and a half hours from San Francisco.
We look forward to sharing our wonderful beach cottage with you. Pamper yourself and come experience all the wonders of Santa Cruz County and the beautiful surrounding areas. We have a very high customer return rate and some of our clients have been back many, many times due to our exceptional attention to detail.

Beach Lover's Retreat - November Special Rate $200/Night
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Santa Cruz
We specifically chose this location because it was a wonderful neighborhood by one of the best beaches in Santa Cruz. It was also very dog friendly, which was important to us. As we walk the beach, we spot the otters, seals, porpoises and pelicans glide the surface of the water. We also wanted something with a wonderful big back yard and within a minute from the beach. This ewas hard to find because many properties so close to the beach have almost no backyard. Ours is really big compared to the standard beach home.
We got that with the Beach Lover's retreat.
The Unique Benefits at this House
Our home has a distinctive tropical yet modern flair, with every aspect of it thought through for the comfort of our guests. It was remodeled last year and we added 360sqft of living space (including a brand new modern bathroom). The kitchen is completely renovated and lacks of nothing. The bedrooms are spacious and luxurious. The backyard is a real treat with patio furniture, lounge chairs and a wonderful firepit to roast marshmallows and hang around to warm yourself during the brisk nights.
Owner's Map of Santa Cruz
Hi there,
Cal and I and our Australian shepherd Mattie would like to welcome you to our beach home. We bought this place so we could eventually retire near the ocean one day. We have taken a lot of pride in remodeling and redecorating the house to make it feel truly like a home away from home, with all the amenities (and a few extras) to make it feel warm and inviting and peaceful.
Cal and I are blessed to have traveled to many exotic and wonderful locations around the world. This is why you will find a host of travel and photo books from places we have enjoyed over the years. A little bit of these experiences are reflected in the decor and feel of our beach home. We hope you will enjoy that aspect of our place.
Welcome and enjoy our beautiful beach home.
