About this property

Aptos-Santa Cruz~Ocean Front Beach House

If your looking for OCEAN FRONT , this is it! Regardless of the weather, you will love your stay here! Bring your binoculars to watch the sea life swim by...whales, dolphins, seals and otters!

Our cozy and comfortable beach house is located on the bluff above Seacliff State Beach and offers magnificent views of Seacliff State Beach and Monterey Bay. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms and will sleep up to six. The king bedroom has a sliding glass door that offers ocean views and sounds of the surf. The queen bedroom also has a sliding glass door that opens to the side patio. and you can hear the waves. The last bedroom has a double bed. There is also a small bonus room/den. The gas fireplace log set in the beautiful river rock fireplace makes it easy to stay warm on a cold winter day or warming up after a swim in the Pacific. Satellite TV is available in the living room, the king room, and the bonus room. Wireless internet is available to keep you connected. Our kitchen has a 5 burner gas range, convection microwave and granite countertops. It is also fully outfitted with utensils and table settings for at least 6 guests. Small appliances, pots, pans, and a wide variety of spices make it easy and fun to stay in and cook a meal. Or, walk to one of the several restaurants close by for a fun evening out. The Trex deck has a gas BBQ, outdoor patio furniture and is great for hanging out and entertaining. The driveway has parking for 2-3 cars. Just a short walk to the beach - this is the perfect place for a family vacation or a romantic getaway for two! Deck was expanded and a cable style fence was installed in March 2023 for your safety!
