The Captain’s Quarters: Oceanfront Luxury



The Captain’s Quarters boasts one of the most spectacular oceanfront views in all of Santa Cruz. This is beachfront living at its best, with wraparound decks facing the Pacific and sweeping Monterey Bay views from nearly every room in the home.



Perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and nestled above one of Santa Cruz’s most beloved beaches—Twin Lakes Beach—this single-level retreat offers unobstructed 260-degree ocean views and direct beach access just steps from the deck. Whether you're soaking up the sun, enjoying the ocean breeze, or unwinding to the sound of the waves, every moment here feels effortless.



With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen plus a separate updated kitchenette, the home is thoughtfully designed to accommodate multiple families or groups traveling together. Enjoy 160 feet of ocean frontage, expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces, and parking for up to three vehicles.



Ideally located between the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Capitola Village—and just a short walk to the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor—you’ll have easy access to fresh seafood, local dining, beach bonfires, and everything that makes the Santa Cruz coastline so special. Pick up fresh catch from Stagnaro Bros. and prepare a meal at home, or explore the many nearby restaurants just minutes away.



Wake up to breathtaking sunrises from the primary suite, and in the evening, watch the lights of Monterey, Moss Landing, and Pacific Grove shimmer across the bay.



Whether you're gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply escaping to the coast, The Captain’s Quarters offers an unforgettable oceanfront experience..

    Although this property has a copious amount of deferred maintenance it truly is in the perfect spot on the beach. This is our second time staying at Captains Quarter.Thank you for the easy check in and check out.

    You walk into the house and the view takes your breath away. They allowed our dogs which was important to us.The kitchen is outdated but we spent our time outside and that was great!

    We stayed at Captains Quarters for our spring break. What an amazing home!! From the moment you walk in, you are greeted with ,literally, the most breathtaking ocean views. These views continue around the entire home. It fit our family with kids so comfortably. The kitchen came fully stocked with everything we needed to cook for our families for the entire 4 days. The easiest way to get to the beach is to exit near the BBQ. A short 5 second walk to the staircase and then you are able to walk to clean, beautiful beach. The home came with plenty of towels for the beach and for bathing. So many games, puzzles, activities for the kids. The bed linens were so soft- everyone slept great. PLENTY of indoor and outdoor seating. Honestly, we are going to make this a yearly trip. What a great home! They communicate via text during your stay, and answer any questions so fast. Can’t wait to come back! :)

    Unbelievable views. We have stayed at this property several times (3 to date). You are literally on the water and beach. Our family decides together where to go- and the Captains Quarters is a unanimous decision. We have seen whales dolphin otters and seals. The wrap around deck has 300 degree views. The property is pet friendly and the beach is pet friendly.

    This property is pet friendly. This is the best house from Half Moon Bay to Monterey. The house has 270 degrees of windows to take in the beach views. Sunsets are gorgeous, the light house is great and the beach is beautiful. We have stayed here two times and will stay there again and again!Btw- this last time we had a seal a sea otter and two whale sightings- all close enough to see from the deck. Did I mention the deck? It is fantastic!

    House was definitely somewhat outdated but was very clean and well equipped. The real reason to stay here is the fantastic location! With the points to the East and West of the property access to this section of beach is very limited, especially during mid to high tide. In addition the private beach area is great especially for young children.

    The only complaint I have is the the bedroom I stayed in had huge stains in the badly worn carpet. The shower was rust and crud on bottom of door. I didn’t d not feel comfortable taking a shower. Given the price of the property I was disappointed in the condition of my room. The location is great, but I would not stay here again unless I knew that bedroom was cleaned up.
