This spacious waterfront home is located at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in North Santa Cruz Harbor and boasts tropical furnishings and oceanic décor to inspire a truly unforgettable vacation in a location that won’t disappoint!

Delight in walking to Twin Lakes and Seabright Beaches, restaurants, coffee shops such as The Kind Grind, hiking/biking around Arana Gulch, or picnicking at Frederick Street Park. Across 7th Avenue is a playground with tennis courts open to the public. You’ll also find Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Lighthouse Field State Beach, The Mystery Spot, Seacliff State Beach, and Roaring Camp within a 10-mile radius.

Make yourself at home in the large, yet cozy, living area featuring plush seating, skylights, an upper balcony, vaulted ceilings, and large windows accentuating the natural light and harbor views from almost every room.

From the Harborview patio, enjoy stunning sunsets from the hot tub while you savor a glass of local Santa Cruz wine. Use the gas BBQ or dine alfresco while lounging beneath the giant eucalyptus trees and colonies of blue herons. As evening sets in, enjoy views of passing boats and celestial skies through the panoramic windows.

The open, modern kitchen boasts high-end appliances, granite countertops, custom cabinets with pantry storage, table seating, plus counter seating (including a side table in the living room for more guests). “Look-through” open space from the kitchen into the dining and living areas—all with harbor views—make this kitchen perfect for entertaining!

The bedrooms are extra inviting with TVs, soft linens, ample closet space, and private balcony access (from the primary) for even more majestic views. The themed children’s room is sure to make the little ones smile. Don’t forget the jetted tub in the main bath for ultimate spa-like relaxation. End the day outside with a rejuvenating soak in the hot tub while reminiscing about your perfect visit!

Clean home, great location. Well stocked kitchen It would be nice to have a key pad to open the door instead of needing a physical key. Very open layout. There is one king bedroom and the bunk room downstairs and one king and the queen upstairs. The upstairs layout is odd but it worked. Overall a good place to stay

Nice place

We had a group of 8 staying over 4 days. The house and patio area is large enough that we never felt crowded. Really enjoyed spending time outside and enjoying the hot tub. The upstairs layout of the bathroom is very strange but works. Overall nice place

Heavenly Days on the Harbor

The open, light and bright rooms are beautiful. We could hear the shore birds and sometimes a sea lion in the harbor. We were walking distance to the beach and yet had protection from some of the wind and fog that is right at the coast line. We loved the back deck with BBQ and hot tub. We never wanted to leave.

The house was great for the family. The kitchen has nice appliances and the beds are comfy. Only small things could be improved, like providing more towels or more than one key.
