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..

    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!

    This house was amazing! Beautiful ocean views from every room. Easy access to the beach. Amazing deck! Plenty of room for my family. Would definitely love to stay here again.

    House was definitely somewhat outdated but was very clean and well equipped.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.

    Spent two days celebrating the kids graduation from high school and becoming adults (18th birthday). Great location and amazing views. Enjoyed walking the beach with the dogs and taking in the local scene.

    Despite 3rd shower not working, loved it. Could use more bathroom linens. More hand towels. No screens on doors; maybe other properties don’t have them either? These are little things. Would love to visit again!!!! Family get together- damn kids all moved to west coast ( we from Michigan). Where was the washer/dryer? Thanks
