Experience the ultimate Santa Cruz getaway in this beautifully maintained townhome, perfectly located just a half block from West Cliff Drive and only a block from the Wharf and beach. Take a short stroll to the Boardwalk, Lighthouse Surf Museum, and downtown Santa Cruz. The Wharf offers dining, nightlife, boat tours, fishing, and plenty of opportunities to watch sea lions.

This three-level townhome is part of a well-kept gated complex with access to a communal swimming pool and hot tub.

Main Level:
The open-concept living area features a cozy seating arrangement in front of a gas fireplace and a 50” Ultra HDTV. Natural sunlight fills the space through multiple windows. The galley-style kitchen is fully equipped, and a small covered balcony off the kitchen includes a propane BBQ—perfect for outdoor meals. A convenient half bath completes this level.

Second Level:
Upstairs, you’ll find a master bedroom suite and a second bedroom, both tastefully decorated with beach-themed décor. The second bedroom includes a small covered deck. These south-facing balconies capture sunlight throughout the day. A shared full bathroom serves the bedrooms.

Third Level:
The top level is a large game room and additional sleeping area, featuring a 55” Ultra HDTV, a game table with six chairs, a sleeper sofa (full size), and two twin beds—ideal for family fun or extra guests.

Additional Amenities:
Laundry facilities and a one-car garage are located on the ground level, providing space for parking or storing bicycles, surfboards, kayaks, and other beach gear.

    The place was nice, clean and in a great location walking distance to the beach, boardwalk and restaurants. We were unable to get in the gate to park using the code the whole stay. There was a lot of what not to do about parking ,but how to park using the passes could have used more clarification. I didn’t appreciate having to wash and put away dishes. It made it so we couldn’t really eat there before a 10 am checkout. I feel like running the dishwasher in advance of the cleaning crew is more reasonable.

    We loved the home! Only comment would be some of the pots should be replaced with stainless steel as the coating was coming off one.

    Location was important for us. We stayed in town for the Santa Cruz Triathlon weekend, and this was near the race course start and end. Condo was clean, photos were accurate and management company was responsive to communications.
