We are located a short five-minute walk to Twin Lakes Beach, the Yacht Harbor and the iconic Crow’s Nest Restaurant and Gift Shop. This is a great scenic spot for lunch and dinner or for morning coffee and a breakfast burrito at Java Junction and El Palomar. There's no better way to start your day than with fresh air, sand in your toes and an up front view of the crashing waves. Deke’s Market located two doors down is perfect for convenience items and also has a great deli.Drive less than 10-minutes to the super cute Capitola Village beach or take the short drive to the Boardwalk and pier. Our location is excellent for family outings, sailing (Chardonnay & O'Neil), kayaking, stand-up paddling jogging, swimming, body surfing, boogie boarding, volleyball, evening bonfires, and viewing incredible sunsets.

Our remodeled 1930's beach bungalow offers 3 comfy bedrooms, 1 beautiful bath and a state of the art kitchen. The living area is open and spacious and the private backyard is great for BBQ’s, hanging out and sunbathing.

***STUDIO UNIT***
We regularly have 30 day guests such as traveling nurses and other professionals requiring a longer term stay while in Santa Cruz. This type of unit is not unusual in Santa Cruz! Garage conversions have been approved and encouraged by the City of Santa Cruz since the 1980’s as an unconventional approach to the City’s housing shortage. The house, driveway and yard are for our Vacationing Guests ONLY.

2. Busy vibrant street centrally located - easy walk to beach access.

    This is a great spot! It does get pretty warm in the evenings without air conditioning, but there were fans provided. Otherwise it was perfect, spotlessly clean and a great location.

    We’ve been coming to Twin Lakes for years. This is a great super cute little house close to the beach and amenities at the harbor, 5-8 minute walk at most. Beds were comfortable for all of us. Kitchen had all that we needed. We only saw the studio tenant once in passing. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!

    Close to everything. Nicely decorated. Upgraded kitchen and bath. There is an additional studio unit in the lot but it is separated by a fence. We never saw the other renter. Definitely recommend!

    This was good place for us to stay in Santa Cruz, not far from the beach. Completely remodeled inside. Full kitchen was helpful for cooking in. We would stay here again!

    We had a nice stay in this clean home in an ideal location. The home was as described and the check in and out process was very easy. This was my third time staying in this home and I would do so again.

    My family of five (all adults) enjoyed a post-Christmas stay in this home, and it was great in every way. Clean, good deal of space, short walk to the beach, great communication with the owner, and a very short drive to downtown SC and the Boardwalk. Only one bathroom, so some coordination of timing is necessary. My only knock is that is fronts a relatively busy street, and entering/exiting the property during rush hour requires some patience. Otherwise, fantastic!
