SUN,SURF & RELAXATION@ 26thAVE BEACH HOUSE/HOT TUB/PRIVATE YARDS GREAT LOCATION

SC County VR Permit #CO00012.
Custom built by and for the owners. This 1500 square foot, two bedroom, 1 bath house has much to offer the active beach lover in addition to the sun worshipping lounger.
Ideally located one block up from 26th Ave beach and conveniently centered in Santa Cruz from Capitola to downtown Santa Cruz and the World famous Beach Boardwalk. This sweet beach home beckons visitors to relax in a peaceful atmosphere. Fall asleep to the sounds of crashing waves and wake up to the scent of the ocean. Guests can walk or bike to many desired places around town and avoid the hassles of driving and parking. Guests love staying in our friendly neighborhood, walking, playing at the beach, watching surfers and abundant wildlife just off our shoreline.
This house is a breath of fresh air with an open floor plan, hardwood floors, fireplace centerpiece, vaulted ceilings, skylights, spacious kitchen and living area.
The gourmet kitchen is a food lovers delight, focused around a granite slab island for easy gathering and food prep. There is a double electric oven, 5 burner gas stove top, warming drawer, microwave oven, TVs throughout the house.
The kitchen is stocked with basic cooking essentials. There are fresh flowers and living plants throughout the house.
*Provision services or catering can be provided by request. For example, local farmers market produce and fresh local fish.
In addition to the comforts of this home, guests can enjoy the fireplace on cool Central Coast evenings as well as the deluxe Dimension One therapy hot tub and convenient outdoor shower after a surf session or beach run. The outdoor yards are wonderfully manicured and fully fenced. There is a Weber gas BBQ, patio furniture, umbrella, fire pit and hammock in the back yard. Washing machine and dryer in garage. Off street parking for several cars.
For the working vacation, wireless high speed internet is available throughout the house.
Active families will appreciate this house has available wetsuits, boogie boards, beach chairs, wagon, beach toys, Pack and Play, high chair lots of children's books and toys in garage as well as movies. The Live Oak library is a short walk away and is surrounded by Corcoran Lagoon which is home to Great White Herons and many other types of animals and birds.There is wood for beach bonfires and a small portable BB-Q.
There are so many great things to do in our neighborhood that it is possible to spend a week or longer and never have to drive anywhere.

What a beautiful place! Very spacious, cute and modern. The beach access is great and easy to get to. Loved the hot tub especially since it was cold and rained. Would definitely stay here again!

Great couple days
We enjoyed the couple nights we spent here. Home was clean and had all we needed for cooking meals. Home was very inviting and beautiful with all the flowers. Very well maintained. Cathy was very easy to work with and very responsive to everything. Felt a little overwhelmed initially reading all the rules (e.g. seemed to imply we had to have all dishes cleaned and put away before we left), but quick confirmation with Cathy reassured us we just needed to load the dishwasher. Proximity to Target and coffee shops was nice. Quiet neighborhood. Would stay here again!

Bright Beach Cottage with beautiful yard
Stayed at Cathy's place for Spring Break with my sister and two nieces. The house is lovely and clean with a beautiful backyard and front yard full of flowers. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor shower as well as the beach bikes. Fresh flowers, herbs and lemons were a special touch in the house! Cathy was wondering to work with and the neighborhood is close to Pleasure Poknt area.

Wonderful stay
I absolutely love this house. The beautiful grounds, the sweet bird feeders, the cute nautical decor, the relaxing hot tub, the short walk to the beach where I saw sea otters and dolphins! Cathy and Andre are the perfect hosts; very responsive and provide everything you need. I’m glad I live in the Bay Area because I will be back!
