Welcome to our remarkable retreat, a stone's throw from the serene Twin Lakes Beach in Santa Cruz, situated on the quaint 14th Avenue. This sprawling sanctuary spans over 4,000 square feet, providing breathtaking views, an enviable location, and a slice of the enchanting atmosphere that Santa Cruz is famed for. Envision yourself soaking up the sun on the beach or unwinding on one of the numerous decks that adorn our home, offering spaces of peace and spaciousness. Located ideally, a short stroll will take you to the Harbor, where you can savor the offerings of local eateries and meander through delightful boutiques. Our residence comfortably houses up to 14 guests, with a thoughtful design that caters to both families and groups. A specially dedicated game room is a treasure trove of fun, equipped with beach toys, Foosball, and Ping Pong, ensuring entertainment for all ages. VR Permit number 211386\. Transient Occupancy Registration Certificate number VR00024. This home stretches across three well-appointed levels; the zenith is home to the kitchen, dining, and living spaces, complemented by an outdoor deck to immerse in the scenic beauty. The six cozy bedrooms are nestled on the main floor, adjacent to another charming deck, while the game room finds its place on the ground level. It's important to note that guests who may find navigating stairs challenging should consider alternate lodging options. Compliance with the Santa Cruz Vacation Home Ordinance is paramount, affecting all residences within the county. This mandate allows for a maximum of 2 adults per bedroom, plus an extra 2 adults, capping our adult guest capacity at 14\. Children under 8 years are exempt from this count, enabling us to accommodate your family or group with ease. The ordinance promotes exclusivity and privacy, strictly permitting only those named on the guest list to access the premises. We are pet-friendly, welcoming up to two dogs with prior breed disclosure and fee, and cater to both short and longer stays, with flexible booking options available. Our home is an idyllic setting for family reunions, gatherings, memorials, corporate retreats, team building, anniversaries, birthdays, and celebrations of all kinds, offering a blend of comfort and space. It comes fully furnished and equipped with modern amenities including 2 large HD LCD TVs, cable access, high-speed wireless internet, dual fireplaces, DVD players, glimpses of the ocean from the decks, top-tier bed linens, laundry facilities, and an outdoor shower with hot water, perfect for post-beach relaxation. The private deck features a gas BBQ and a storage space stocked with beach gear. Allow the rhythmic sound of the waves to lull you to sleep, and awaken to morning coffee in the calm of our beachside retreat or on the beach itself (note: we cannot control sea lion sounds). Just a short walk from Twin Lakes Beach, our home offers a comfortable and relaxing retreat for families, with the perfect mix of privacy and easy access to beach fun. Enjoy nearby family-friendly dining and shops, peaceful beach walks, and a central location close to Santa Cruz’s favorite attractions. You’re also a short drive from the classic fun of the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, as well as Santana Row, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and the beauty of Pebble Beach — making it easy to create memorable family days both near and far. This house, our cherished second home, is perfect for guests who value respect for property, neighbors, and local regulations. Those in search of a 'party house' will need to look elsewhere. We emphasize the importance of observing quiet hours from 10 pm to 8 am, in respect of our neighbors and in compliance with local ordinances. Our cancellation policy is generous, offering a full refund up to 90 days before your stay, a testament to our commitment to your satisfaction.

We had a weeklong family gathering with 6adults and 4 children. We spent Almost every afternoon at the beach which is Just half a block away and has a beautiful wide sandy beach. The house has two living rooms and two kitchens which made it easy to make and ate all our meals here As we desired. ##### Fredi B.

Perfect for our large family. Bedrooms for all. The funky nature of two kitchens came in handy for a fun and lively cooking competition one evening.

We had 10 adults and lots of kids staying here and there was plenty of room. Having the two kitchens was convenient. The location is great, just a block away from the beach and walking distance to a corner store and yummy Mexican food. Would stay again! ##### Perry K.

We chose it because of the large farmhouse table for us to gather at breakfast and the number of bed for couples and singles. It did not disappoint. Quiet and comfortable, we all left happy and rested. Thank you! ##### Heather B.

This house has great beach access and plenty of space for your friends and family. Parking is a breeze with ample space for 6 cars. House is a modified duplex that was combined into one large house. All 11 of us had plenty of room to escape, but the house is quite loud.esxape ##### MaryLee G.

Being only a 3 minute walk to the state park beach was perfect for the flexibility needed to accommodate adult and kiddo schedules. The common living space with two fully equipped kitchens as well as two TVS facilitated us cooking and hanging out together. Thank you for sharing your home! ##### Hollis S.
