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!

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Mello Lane. We were two families with 4 adults, 3 kids (ages 4, 6, and 7) and found it to be light, bright, and in a great location. The kids loved the bunk room and the adults all loved the hot tub overlooking the harbor and the spacious kitchen. Would recommend!

this home was very clean and had great common areas for our family get together. viewing the egret and heron nests in the trees across the harbor was a plus. We loved the location and easy walking access to the harbor restaurants. We would definitely come back.

This beautiful harbor home was a perfect getaway for our family — 3 adult couple shared the home easily. Spacious and cozy at the same time. Hot tub, gas fireplace, 2 decks, harbor view, great kitchen. We spent a lot of time just enjoying this beautiful home. And then You have Santa Cruz as your playground. Wonderful.

We love staying here and continue to be repeat guests. The house is gorgeous, has a wonderful vacation vibe, and beautiful views of the harbor and nature. Fantastic patio and backyard with lots of birds. Fantastic beach and walking trails from the house (no car needed). Owner is fantastic with communication and all! This is a true gem. Rent it, you won't be disappointed!

Perfect location and perfect home for a mini family vacation. Once at the house and in the house, it's better than described on the website. You cannot, though, really see the ocean but it is a quick 5 minute drive or 15 minute walk to the nearest beaches (Twin Lakes and Seabright). The kitchen was fully stocked with all the pots, pans, dishes, glasses, and utensils. This house easily seats 15 people inside (this includes 3 bar stools at the stove) with an outdoor table, including umbrella. I am already looking at booking this same house next year, around the same time.

This is a large home overlooking the harbor with plenty of room for lots of people. While it was clean and spacious , several areas were lacking attention and maintenance. The upstairs A/C didn’t work and the TV’s were not able to be logged into. There were a couple missing lightbulbs and a toilet paper holder fell off the wall. My dad is handy and found some tools to make some repairs. The hot tub worked fine. All the appliances worked fine. Bring laundry detergent, extra beach towels (only could find five), laundry detergent and your own aluminum foil etc if you are staying and cooking in. We didn’t reach out to the property management company about the A/C because we were busy with events, but that need to be fixed. WiFi worked fine.

This was perhaps our fourth stay here. Celebrating friendships of 20+ Years. Hot tubs, walks to beach, long talks by the fireplace on a cool November weekend. Great house, great location.
