WOW! Gated 5-Suite Coastal Retreat @ Main Beach
Welcome to our spectacular, newly-built gated escape in across from the best beach in stunning Santa Cruz! It’s like having a mini-hotel all to yourself, with 5 private suites- each with king beds, full kitchen, bath, convertible sofa- all across from Cowells Beach, Main Beach & Wharf. Enjoy private retreats & a 500sqft patio w/ Fire Table and BBQ. Even an outdoor shower to get the sand out of your toes. SC TOT Lic#002455.
Perfectly situated just steps away from the sandy beach, Surf City Villas is the ultimate seaside retreat for families, groups of friends, or couples looking for a romantic getaway. As you step inside, you`ll be greeted by an elegantly designed living area, tastefully decorated with modern furnishings and coastal accents. The mahogany doors and high ceilings creating an airy and inviting atmosphere. The fully equipped kitchens in each suite feature stainless steel appliances, stone countertops, and ample cabinet space make cooking a breeze.

About the host
Hosted by Derek Timm
We enjoy hosting visitors to Santa Cruz. It is a special place and we have enjoyed sharing it with friends from around the world.
Why they chose this property
Located in a prime location, we just rebuilt this property (literally took it down to the studs, and replaced, plumbing, electrical, roof, and every interior). We hired a professional designer to make it so welcoming- we hope you will enjoy. Its a perfect location across from the beach and walking distance to the boardwalk, shopping, dining, and the state parks. Once you arrive, no need to get back in your car.
What makes this property unique
The location makes it really ideal- and it is essentially like having your own private hotel. FOUR separate remodeled fully equipped suites, each with there own full kitchen and bath. Private Gated parking- plus great amenities. It is truly a gem. PLUS you can combine with the property next door for larger groups.
