About Marie Lore
We love our beach house and are excited about sharing it with others. We hope they enjoy it as much as we have. We have been married for over 40 yrs. and have 3 married children and 7 grandchildren. Rick has been in the construction business for most of his life and I am an active real estate agent for Alain Pinel Realtors in Saratoga. We live in Los Gatos, a short trip over the hill from Santa Cruz.
Marie Lore purchased this cottage in 1990
Why Marie Lore chose Central Coast
We bought this home many years ago as a rental for college students. We always hoped we would be able to rebuild it for ourselves in the future. It was a great dream come true when we completed the remodel about five years ago.
What makes this cottage unique
We love that we can walk everywhere from this home. The popular Twin Lakes beach is just a short block away. Bon fires light up the beach in the evening, sail boat races can be viewed from our deck, and lively beach volley ball games are a common occurrence. Don't miss the ukelele concert on Saturday mornings in front of the Java Junction. There are excellent restaurants within walking distance. We especially enjoy the Crows Nest upstairs on Weds. night when the sail boat races are taking place. Johnnie's Harborside, the Java Junction, El Palomar, and Lago di Coma are also favorites of ours. Deke's market on 7th Ave. is a great place for sandwiches and various grocery sundries. There are public tennis courts and a great kids park a few minutes away on 7th Ave. We also enjoy walking and riding bikes on the harbor road where the sea otters, seals, and pelicans are always entertaining. The Santa Cruz Beach Board Walk is a 5-minute drive away with the famous wooden roller coaster and many other thrilling rides for all ages. A 18-hole minature golf course at the boardwalk is also a good way to spend an afternoon. Downtown Santa Cruz and Capitola nearby offer unique shopping opportunities, movie theaters, and other excellent restaurants.

Charming house steps from the best beach in Santa Cruz!
I grew up in Santa Cruz so obviously know it well. Twin Lakes Beach is my (and my kids') favorite beach in town. House was adorable and roomy. Everything was clean and in great condition. Would definitely recommend!
Great location, wonderful property.
Plenty of space for our family of 5 plus our pup. Very walkable neighborhood. Marie's home was well stocked and clean. The kids are already making plans to return!
Santa Cruz family stay, in reach of the beach!
Beautiful home and comfy beds and could hear the ocean waves from each bedroom window. Lovely!
Great location and all the amenities you will need.
It was perfect for our family as all bedrooms and bathrooms are on their own level. It was 4 houses from the beach too!!
Spring Break
Marie seems to know everything you'll need and have it available for you in this house. Adorable and comfortable down to the children's toys that are available to play with to the cooking spices to beach chairs and towels. The other thing is the quality of remodel is beautiful and furnishings are perfect for the house. Not to mention the sweet view of the ocean from the bedrooms and living room.
Very comfortable and everything worked great! We would rent this property again.
Awesome Place To Stay In Santa Cruz!!!
The house is beautiful, very spacious, immaculate and well equipped with everything you can think of. Upon arrival from across the country we quickly made ourselves at home in this lovely rental. The owner was very easy to work with and responded very quickly to the questions that we had. We had a full house and all of us highly recommend this home... you won't be disappointed!!
