About This Home
As of October 2025This beachfront home offers what truly matters, the ability to escape the chaos of the world and enjoy beach life effortlessly. Nestled in Santa Cruz County's premier gated enclave, your private staircase leads directly to the sand, creating spontaneous everyday joy few properties can claim. Imagine morning coffee while dolphins play offshore, sunset gatherings where ocean views enhance conversation, or simply relaxing with a book in your intimate ocean-view reading nook while whales breach in the distance. Behind two gates, this architectural treasure balances vintage character with modern updates, featuring beautiful stained redwood walls, an expanded kitchen, and updated bathrooms. The built-in banquette offers a perfect retreat to disconnect from the world's chaos and reconnect with what matters. Located near Seacliff & Aptos villages, you'll appreciate convenient access to restaurants & shopping while enjoying peaceful beachfront living with miles of gorgeous walking beach in both directions. Here, entertaining shifts seamlessly from indoor to sand, making the ocean part of everyday life. When the world becomes too much, this is where you come to simply breathe, relax, and remember what life is truly about.
