SC County VR Permit #CO00012.
Custom built by and for the owners. This 1500 square foot, two bedroom, 1 bath house has much to offer the active beach lover in addition to the sun worshipping lounger.
Ideally located one block up from 26th Ave beach and conveniently centered in Santa Cruz from Capitola to downtown Santa Cruz and the World famous Beach Boardwalk.

Guests love staying in our friendly neighborhood, walking, playing at the beach, watching surfers and abundant wildlife just off our shoreline.
This house is a breath of fresh air with an open floor plan, hardwood floors, fireplace centerpiece, vaulted ceilings, skylights, spacious kitchen and living area.
The gourmet kitchen is a food lovers delight, focused around a granite slab island for easy gathering and food prep. There is a double electric oven, 5 burner gas stove top, warming drawer, microwave oven, TVs throughout the house.
The kitchen is stocked with basic cooking essentials. There are fresh flowers and living plants throughout the house.

The Live Oak library is a short walk away and is surrounded by Corcoran Lagoon which is home to Great White Herons and many other types of animals and birds.There is wood for beach bonfires and a small portable BB-Q.

This cottage was perfect in every way…cleanliness, location, beautiful space indoors and out, and it was stocked with everything we needed. The host was easy to reach if I had a question and was more than gracious in her responses. I will definitely be back!

My son had his heart set on going to Santa Cruz to celebrate his 12th birthday. This home was absolutely the perfect place to do that! The house and the location were perfect. Just a short walk to the local beach, and the owners provided everything you could need for a fun day there: boogie boards, wetsuits, sand, toys, etc. The house itself was stocked with everything you might need as well. Owners communicated very well and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
