About this property

Apartment with ocean views

Relax on the sunny deck, walk along West Cliff Drive and fall asleep at night to the sound of crashing waves. Cowells Surfside is a clean, one- bedroom apartment located two houses from West Cliff, behind a main house and above the detached garage. Surrounded by plants and a garden it has beautiful views of the Monterey Bay, Boardwalk, Santa Cruz Wharf and Santa Cruz Mountains. The apartment has bamboo floors, granite counters and large sunny windows. The living room has a pullout sleeper sofa making space for children or additional guests. There are plenty of linens and towels along with a stocked kitchen. Included with your stay are two beach cruisers, boogie boards and beach chairs. The deck has a working gas grill for outdoor cooking. It’s a perfect get away for a couple of small family.

The apartment gives you walking access to many beaches, great surf spots, the Boardwalk and SC Wharf, wine tasting and shopping. Athletes have been renting here for years to have easy access to triathlons, surf contests and other races. Families love it for the proximity to the Boardwalk and downtown. Travelers return every summer and fall to enjoy the fun and beauty of our town.

We welcome long term renters in the fall and winter months. Please inquire about available dates and rates for monthly rentals.

Perfect Santa Cruz retreat!
We have nothing but wonderful things to stay about our stay here! The location was excellent- view of the ocean, very walkable, private. The property was clean and exactly as described. Kerry had great communication with clear check in/check out instructions and tips for things to do in the area. We absolutely would stay here again and recommend to anyone traveling to the area!

Ocean sights and sounds
Perfect home base for walking along West Cliff Drive or to the wharf. Very clean, very comfortable, well appointed unit over the garage, so you have privacy and a view of the ocean. You can hear the ocean and the sea lions with a window open. Great host!

Outstanding Host & Property!
Kerry, our host, was very friendly, helpful and responsive! The property was outstanding! It was clean, well furnished, beautifully decorated and in a great location. The bed is super comfy too! We loved having a washer and dryer on-site. We would love to come back and visit sometime soon. Can highly recommend!
