About this property

Beach Lovers Retreat

  • Summary:

    Welcome to the Beach Lovers Retreat - 1 Block from the Beach - Gourmet Kitchen - Pet Friendly - Firepit.



    The Space:

    VR PERMIT # 211208 exp. 6/28/2026



    A relaxing beach retreat - just a block from the beach - is tastefully decorated in a contemporary Balinese style with a soothing and warm tropical feel, and lacks nothing. It is immaculate, quiet, and very comfortable. Extra cleaning precautions are being taken to ensure your safety during COVID. And with so many people needing to be online these days, the highest internet speed available in the region is available.



    A FIVE-STAR EXPERIENCE



    It’s all in the details.



    This remodeled beach home’s focus is on comfort and relaxation. It has a peaceful, tropical feel throughout that puts you at ease, accented with unique art and handcrafted furnishings.



    A spacious, open-concept floor plan keeps you connected, and the welcoming living and dining areas encourage you to sit down and enjoy time together.



    Prepare a meal in the well-stocked gourmet kitchen and then enjoy it in the Balinese-inspired dining room.



    Soft white towels, high-thread count sheets, and a collection of quality personal bath care items are available.



    Beach Lover’s Retreat is another level of dog-friendly, with plush doggie beds, blankets and a dog-friendly & off-leash beach is just at the end of the street. Plus, the backyard is fenced for their safety and your convenience. One guest commented, “…my dog is still wondering why we had to come home.”



    In-home entertainment abounds – provided are libraries of hundreds of hit movies, children(many Disney) movies, and multi-genre music CDs for your enjoyment!  A large family game collection is also available



    HANG-OUT(SIDE)



    After a long day at the beach or the Boardwalk, gather around the outdoor fire pit.



    There is a Weber gas grill for preparing your fresh catch-of-the-day from the Santa Cruz wharf and other finds from the nearby farmers’ markets.



    Enjoy your meals around the backyard dining table next to the grill, and relax afterward in our lounge chairs.



    The secure fenced backyard means you can let your children and four-legged companion run free. And there is an outdoor hot + cold shower for use after coming off the beach or when the pup has rolled in the sand all day.



    IT’S YOUR KIND OF BEACH NEIGHBORHOOD



    This vacation home is located in a safe residential neighborhood that embraces the best of the “Santa Cruz vibe.” It’s very much a “wave and say hi” kind of place.



    The beach’s sand and waves are right at the end of the street, just a block away. The Beach Lover's Retreat is within walking distance of 41st Avenue, the main artery in the area for restaurants, coffee houses and shops.



    There’s plenty of parking with 3 on-driveway spots all your own.



    Located just 5 to 10 driving minutes from the Boardwalk and Capitola, and 15 minutes from the eclectic Pacific Street shopping / dining downtown area. The home is 50ish minutes from Monterey and Carmel.
