Safe from Crowds, Designer Home, Steps 2 Beach, Hot tub, near Harbor, Pets okay

Told to stay inside for the next few weeks? Why not make that safe home be right by the beach in Santa Cruz. Take Long Beach walks, watch the sunset, hear the crashing waves , have a long soak in the hot tub.. this home allows self isolation while also being able to enjoy nature and get outside but have the essential social distancing measures that are called for in this time .our vacation home is a beautiful spacious, private home away from home. Lovely fenced back yard so can your bring your furry friends with you. Rest assured that we are taking extra measures to provide a sanitized, clean safe environment for you and your family.

Santa Cruz Ocean View Home: Located only one block from the beach, this is a two-story, designer home with an open-architecture style and cathedral type ceilings. Big windows and a gridwork of glass allows in plenty of light.

This home sleeps 5 with two bedrooms, a large open living space (living room & kitchen), one large bathroom and plenty of patios. The living room has a sofa and a comfortable day-bed that can double as a sleeper.

The upstairs bedroom opens to a private deck that gets the late afternoon sun. Here you can lay on a long couch, read a book or take a nap. In the evening, you can enjoy a glass of wine as you watch the sunset.

Downstairs, a large wraparound redwood deck, bathed in sunshine overlooks a stunning garden filled with beautiful plants and rocks and a bevy of doves, finches, blue-jays and red-winged blackbirds. Summer nights provide an occasion to sit in the hot tub in this zen-like setting and enjoy the clear starry nights in complete privacy.

Sleeping arrangement: The upstairs bedroom has a queen bed and a pillow-top daybed, comfortably sleeping three. The downstairs bedroom has a Tempurpedic queen mattress looking through large French doors to the hot tub against a wall of black bamboo. There is also chaise, a foam foldout mattress and a double inflate-able queen mattress and a daybed if needed.

The tropical secluded backyard has a large wraparound deck, a hot-tub with chaise lounge-chairs, an outdoor hot & cold shower, a gas BBQ and a marble-top dining table & chairs.

Lovely Home
This is an inviting and comfortable home, nicely situated near a beautiful beach in Santa Cruz. We are a family of four adults who put the well-stocked kitchen to good use for an involved holiday dinner. We especially enjoyed relaxing in the mid afternoon in the sunshine on the upper deck. The beds are comfy and the hot tub was greatly appreciated. The owner graciously gave us an early check-in. We were happy to bring our well-behaved dog. Everyone had a great time!

Nice cozy house
We loved the house and the location. Owners were very communicative and checked in with us during our stay. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the beautiful decks in the backyard. Short walk to the beach which is beautiful to watch the sunrises and sunsets.

Why they chose this property

One of the very rare, spacious lots on the street, it has two magnificent trees, a large wraparound deck, spacious backyard with tropical plants and a uniquely-styled house with cathedral ceilings. It was originally built in the 70's with recycled wood from an Iowa barn, giving the house beautiful definition and an impressive beam structure. Finally, it is located in the most desirable part of Santa Cruz, just steps from Twin Lakes beach / Blacks beach and a short walk to the Harbor.

Unlike many beach dwellings (that feel cramped), this large lot offers plenty of room for a spacious home (1400sqft), a large wraparound deck (600sqft) and a sizeable garden providing one of the best indoor-outdoor living in Santa Cruz.

In addition, the unique cathedral ceilings, open-concept living area and large windows fill the house with light, providing a spacious and warm welcoming feeling. It is so close to the ocean that you can see it from the doorstep.

What makes this property unique

Cathedral ceilings, large wooded beams, Tempurpedic bed, zen-style garden, great hot-tub, large redwood decks.

It is so close to the ocean that you can see it from the doorstep.
