About this property
Fanti-Sea Beach Studio/View, Pet friendly!
Hosted rental permit #231268. In a great neighborhood. Sanctuary marine life ocean views on 100' cliff. Great for long walks, there are nearby hiking trails to the ocean. Access to beach is 6 blocks away, on "Beachgate Way". You either walk or drive and park near the stairs going to the beach. There are two bikes for your use upon request. Hot tub is available for an extra fee. It is on the 3rd floor of this home. It also has tables, seating, BBQ, firepit, and lounging areas all to yourselves! This studio has all the amenities for your comfort. Close to everything. The studio has its own private entrance, and private yard. It has its own covered porch, with lots of seating overlooking the ocean. Maximum two adults. No children. No visitors. If you need anything, just ask! More filtered water, ice, I am always available.
This is a 3 story home. The studio is on the 1st floor of the home. This home has been on the Annual Symphony League Home Tour two times, and has been in the local newspaper, as the 'Fanti-Sea House'. Aptos is an idyllic beach community with a small-town feel and diverse population. Nestled amongst miles of pristine beaches, rolling hills, towering redwood trees, and strawberry fields, the community sets the scene for an extraordinary lifestyle. Situated on Monterey Bay's northern coast, Santa Cruz/Aptos homes are found within a progressive resort community. The area is alive with families, artists, local business owners, surfers, students, and visitors who return year after year. Amazing views from Monterey to Capitola. There are no better views in Santa Cruz. Not suitable for parties. Security deposit may be withheld. When you inquire, please tell us a bit about yourselves, or your situation.
Hot Tub available upon request on 3rd floor with panoramic view of the Monterey Bay (Additional Charges Required)
Please e-mail us a bit about yourself when you first inquire about the accommodations..... either before or at the time you book. Although the studio is very private, we like to know who will be sharing our space, so we ask quests to share a little bit about themselves before they make a reservation. Check In is 3:00pm Check Out is 11:00am. $20. an hour for late check outs or early check in. Be sure and check out the video after seeing the pictures. It is also located on the main picture, top left. A few days prior to check in let host know around what time you will be arriving. Park on the street in front of the small gate, or as closed as you can. Leave room for other cars. Push gate open in the middle towards the house. Always close gate so our small dog does not get hurt. Go to the right into the backyard, I will leave the studio key in the door for you if you tell me around your time of arrival. No other guests or visitors or Security deposit may be withheld.
For Pet Owner - Owner are not allowed to leave their pets unattended or with supervision.
Breathtaking panoramic ocean views, daily appearances by marine life.Come Sea for Yourself! Plenty of sun, sand and sur. Santa Cruz is the quintessential coastal California town. It is actually the place where surfing was first introduced to the mainland back in 1880, which explains why Santa Cruz exudes such a laid-back charm. While surfers flock here to ride the city's famous waves every year, Santa Cruz is far more than just a destination for those seeking the perfect wave. Note: in the video the other smaller studio is shown only. Also if you want to Save water, 3 minutes prior to your shower or bath press the button on the window ledge. It will take 10 seconds for the hot water. If you do not want to save water, ignore this message. It will take about 45 seconds for the hot water. Noise ordinance, quiet hours, 10:00 PM to 8:00 AM. Emergency evacuation, go to the front of the property to street.
