    The Captain’s Quarters: Oceanfront Luxury



    The Captain’s Quarters boasts one of the most spectacular oceanfront views in all of Santa Cruz. This is beachfront living at its best, with wraparound decks facing the Pacific and sweeping Monterey Bay views from nearly every room in the home.



    Perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and nestled above one of Santa Cruz’s most beloved beaches—Twin Lakes Beach—this single-level retreat offers unobstructed 260-degree ocean views and direct beach access just steps from the deck. Whether you're soaking up the sun, enjoying the ocean breeze, or unwinding to the sound of the waves, every moment here feels effortless.



    With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen plus a separate updated kitchenette, the home is thoughtfully designed to accommodate multiple families or groups traveling together. Enjoy 160 feet of ocean frontage, expansive indoor and outdoor living spaces, and parking for up to three vehicles.



    Ideally located between the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Capitola Village—and just a short walk to the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor—you’ll have easy access to fresh seafood, local dining, beach bonfires, and everything that makes the Santa Cruz coastline so special. Pick up fresh catch from Stagnaro Bros. and prepare a meal at home, or explore the many nearby restaurants just minutes away.



    Wake up to breathtaking sunrises from the primary suite, and in the evening, watch the lights of Monterey, Moss Landing, and Pacific Grove shimmer across the bay.



    Whether you're gathering with family, reconnecting with friends, or simply escaping to the coast, The Captain’s Quarters offers an unforgettable oceanfront experience..
