1927 beach-front cottage among vacation and retirement houses about a mile east of Santa Cruz yacht harbor and west of the famous Pleasure Point surfing area. Santa Cruz is a long-time beach resort, a college town, and home to one of the last great beach boardwalk amusement parks. The local cultural resources are wonderful and within minutes, some within walking. All kinds of music, theater, restaurants, wineries, brew-pubs, cinema, shopping, famous people, loony people. Mountains, lagoons, lakes, creeks, meadows, cliffs, redwood forests, horses, orchards, artichokes. Day trips to San Francisco or Monterey. Minutes from the Mystery Spot. Birdwatching! Photography. Whales, dolphins, pelicans, and sea otters. They all love it here and so will you.
