Newly Remodeled Oceanfront Harbor House | Guest Favorite at Twin Lakes Beach 🌊



(Please Note: The upstairs is NOT available for guest use and is NOT pet friendly.)



Back on the market and better than ever—this beautifully remodeled oceanfront home is a true Twin Lakes standout. Thoughtfully updated with fresh finishes and modern coastal style, this 3-bedroom, 2-bath retreat offers front-row views of the beach, harbor, and ocean just across the street.



The Space:

Step inside to a bright, open-concept living space filled with natural light and framed by oversized windows that showcase the coastline like artwork. The fully updated kitchen features brand-new appliances, crisp white cabinetry, and a large center island—perfect for gathering after a day on the sand (or before heading out to the Crow’s Nest).



The living and dining areas flow seamlessly to the outdoors, where an oceanview deck invites you to soak up the sun, enjoy meals al fresco, and unwind with sunset views over Twin Lakes Beach.



Sleeping Arrangements:



Primary Bedroom: King bed, light-filled and serene

Second Bedroom: Queen bed, comfortable and coastal-inspired

Third Bedroom: Ideal for families or groups—features a bunk bed plus two twin beds



Unbeatable Location:

Set in the heart of the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor, you’re just steps from everything:



The Crow’s Nest for dining, drinks, and live music

Beach volleyball courts and lively summer beach scene

Kayak, paddleboard, and charter rentals

Scenic harbor cruises aboard the Chardonnay II



Park your car and forget about it—this is a walk-everywhere location. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is about a 15-minute stroll, and the Sunday Farmer’s Market is just 10 minutes away. Coffee shops, restaurants, and boutiques are all within easy reach.



Whether you’re gathering with family, planning a beach getaway with friends, or just chasing that perfect oceanfront morning coffee moment, this home delivers.



This has long been a cherished family beach house, and now—with its fresh remodel and thoughtful updates—it’s ready for a new wave of memories.



Beachfront living, unbeatable location, and space for everyone—this is Twin Lakes done right. 🌊
