Mitchell's Cove Beach House
Mitchell’s Cove Beach House – Your Sunny Santa Cruz Escape
Located just one flat block from West Cliff Drive and Mitchell’s Cove Beach, this charming single-level 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect retreat for families and long-stay guests seeking the best of Santa Cruz’s laid-back coastal lifestyle. With a bright, open layout and multiple indoor/outdoor gathering spaces, the home is designed for comfort, connection, and ease.
Step through the private front courtyard, perfect for morning coffee or evening lounging. Inside, the fully equipped kitchen is centrally located—ideal for casual meals or gathering with loved ones in the cozy living room or adjacent dining area. A gas stove adds warmth on cool mornings, while the living room fireplace brings extra charm on foggy coastal nights.
From the dining room, step into the expansive, sunlit family room, which opens to the fully fenced backyard—a perfect space to relax, dine, and play. In the backyard, you’ll find a gas BBQ, outdoor seating, a lawn area, and a private fenced-off hot tub area, offering added privacy for soaking under the stars.
The primary bedroom features a plush king-sized bed and patio doors that open to the garden, where you’ll hear the distant sounds of Monterey Bay as you wind down from the day.
The Perfect Location for Santa Cruz Adventures
You’re just minutes from everything—walk to Mitchell’s Cove Beach, or take a scenic stroll along West Cliff Drive to explore Steamer Lane, the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum, Lighthouse Point, or Natural Bridges State Park.
You’re also just a few minutes from Swift Street Courtyard, a local favorite for restaurants, breweries, wineries, and artisan shops. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is a quick 1.5-mile drive, and Downtown Pacific Avenue offers even more options for dining, shopping, and nightlife.
