About this property
Snug Harbor
Summary:
Located on highly desirable Lake Avenue, and just a stone’s throw from the shops and restaurants located at the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor!
The Space:
VR PERMIT # 211396 expires 2/2027
Just down the street is one of Santa Cruz's most popular beaches, dog-friendly and lifeguarded Twin Lakes Beach, where you can reserve a fire-pit at night to stoke up a roaring bonfire, play some volleyball, or just relax at one of the outdoor tables on the sand of the seaside cafes and restaurants nearby. Just steps away from Snug Harbor, you may choose to rent a kayak or paddleboard at the Kayak Connection, or stop in for dinner at the Johnny’s Harborside Restaurant. After the Harbor activities wind down for the day, you’ll appreciate how quiet this neighborhood is at night, as you relax and enjoy the comfortable amenities within the Snug Harbor.
Welcome to the Snug Harbor in Santa Cruz. This is a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home that has recently undergone a complete remodel with emphasis placed on efficient and thoughtful design and offers nearly unobstructed views of the boats drifting in and out of the Yacht Harbor. The interior is bright, clean and cheerful with skylights positioned throughout, and lots of windows offering full frontal views of the Harbor. A large dining table with cozy breakfast nook will accommodate up to 6 persons comfortably, and the cozy living room area is appointed with casual seating for viewing the large flat panel HD TV or listening to music while enjoying the warmth of the fire. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing a home cooked meal and the enclosed courtyard with covered patio seating is a great place to relax, dine and BBQ. The two bedrooms open up to the sunny courtyard featuring a tropical outdoor shower with warm running water, and the extra-large backyard is fully enclosing. Additionally there is a southwest facing patio seating that has been neatly landscaped with comfortable lounge seating while offering wonderful sunset views of the Harbor.
Additional Pet fees do apply, per pet. Dogs must not exceed 45lbs and must be more than 1 year old. If you feel your situation regarding your pet warrants reconsideration of these guidelines, please contact the Beachnest office.
