About this property

5BR Santa Cruz Beach House — Steps to Twin Lakes Beach - Deck & Yard - Sleeps 12

  • Welcome to your Santa Cruz getaway — a spacious 5-bedroom, 3-bathroom home just steps from Twin Lakes State Beach, one of the best family beaches in all of Santa Cruz.

    This home comfortably sleeps 12 and is ideal for family reunions, group trips, or multi-family vacations. The fully updated kitchen is stocked with everything you need for full meals — quality cookware, appliances, and plenty of counter space. The large dining table seats the whole group, or you can eat outside on the oversized deck, a guest favorite for evening dinners.

    When the weather turns cool, gather by the fireplace in the living room. There's a collection of board games and puzzles for downtime, plus an upstairs family area that gives groups room to spread out. A dedicated workspace with fast internet is available for anyone working remotely.

    The enclosed backyard is great for kids and dogs alike (dogs under 20 lbs welcome, limit 2). A warm outdoor shower is ready for you after beach days.
    You're within walking distance of Twin Lakes Beach, Sunny Cove Beach, the Santa Cruz Harbor, and local cafes. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is less than 2 miles away. Free off street parking is included.

    We love sharing this home and take pride in every stay. Fresh cookies greet you at check-in, and we're always quick to respond if you need anything.
