Sunny Santa Cruz Bungalow

Our bright and comfy bungalow is located in a unique neighborhood (tucked between a school and a tire shop—with a cool founder’s cemetery nearby) only a short walk to the Santa Cruz harbor and Twin Lakes beach. The open floor plan and large covered porch are an ideal place to relax and enjoy the beautifully landscaped yard and chickens––you'll love it! Want to stay longer? Just send me a note, as we make the property available for five+ weeks at a time and can open up blocked days in between.
