About this property

Escape to "Enseñada Del Sol" Beach House

Our lovely beach home, Enseñada Del Sol, is just over a block from Sunny Cove beach. It is the perfect space to enjoy a relaxing and private Santa Cruz experience. Our spacious custom built home was lovingly designed and decorated in a beautiful and unique Talavera style. High end finishes and thoughtful touches abound at Enseñada Del Sol. Our home is a delightful sanctuary that is a clean, well-appointed and safe and quiet place for family and friends to gather and enjoy all that Santa Cruz offers.

Enseñada Del Sol is in a fantastic and very central location. The beautiful tide pools at Corcoran beach are just down the street, and a very short walk (less than two blocks) will take you to Sunny Cove or Santa Maria (or "Mo's", as locals know it), both great family beaches! Mo's is a great beach to take a quiet and invigorating long walk.

There is a Starbucks around the corner and there are a number of tasty restaurants within walking distance; and don't miss out on the fun local brewery. On Sundays, there is a charming little Farmer's Market only a short walk away.

The Boardwalk, the Wharf, Capitola Village and historic downtown Santa Cruz are all just a quick 10 minute drive. The Yacht Harbor and Twin Lakes Beach (with the Crow's Nest, Cafe el Palomar and Java Junction) are a three minute drive or a nice 15 minute walk away. The area is extremely bike and walking friendly, so why not enjoy the area without dealing with the stresses of traffic!!!

Wonderful family home

We had a great time at Ensenada del Sol. This is a well-appointed and well-cared-for home. We really enjoyed the proximity to the beach and the outdoor space, including the hot tub. The owners were very responsive by text.

Beautiful Home

Our family had a great time. They have everything you need. The home is beautiful. There is so much to look at inside and out. So much detail. Walking distance to the ocean. They were available anytime to answer questions. Would definitely recommend.

Joyful home with all the amenities!

Mei Mei and Gabriel’s place was a true joy to stay in. Decorated to perfection with art and tradition the space was simply happy! Hot tub large. High end appliances. Generous with towels for home and beach. We had a wonderful stay great for all ages. Young adults able to enjoy the open yard and walk to the beach. Kids room appointed with books. Thoughtful down to every detail.
