Why they chose this property
I chose this neighborhood because it’s the perfect mix of laid-back and convenient. You’re close to the beach, great coffee shops, local restaurants, and everything on 41st Ave — but still in a quiet, easygoing part of town. It has that classic Santa Cruz vibe, where you can surf in the morning, grab lunch nearby, and unwind without ever needing to get in the car.
What makes this property unique
What makes this home unique is the blend of space, comfort, and location. You get a 3-bedroom main house plus a detached cottage — perfect for extra privacy or spreading out as a group. The private backyard with a hot tub and gas fire pit adds that special touch for relaxing after a beach day. It’s tucked away on a quiet street, but you’re still just a short walk to Pleasure Point surf, coastal trails, and great local spots. It’s a peaceful, laid-back place to truly enjoy the Santa Cruz vibe.
