    Welcome to Twin Lakes Surf House, your laid-back coastal home base in sunny Santa Cruz. Just a 2-minute walk to 12th Ave Beach, this charming beach retreat offers the perfect blend of comfort, convenience, and classic Santa Cruz surf-town vibes. Start your mornings with coffee and ocean air, spend your afternoons at the beach, and end your evenings watching the sunset from the crow’s nest.



    The Space:

    This inviting two-story, 3-bedroom home is thoughtfully designed with separate living and sleeping spaces, making it ideal for families, couples, or groups traveling together. Upstairs, the bright and open living area offers a cozy space to gather after a day exploring the coast. The fully equipped kitchen includes everything needed to prepare meals at home, whether you’re fueling up before a surf session or hosting a casual family dinner.



    Step outside to the private patio where you can fire up the BBQ, dine outdoors, and fully settle into Santa Cruz mode. One of the home’s most unique features is the crow’s nest lookout, where you can enjoy beautiful ocean views, sunset skies, and coastal breezes with a morning coffee or evening cocktail in hand.



    Perfect for families, the home offers a comfortable and welcoming setup with plenty of room to relax and recharge. The layout creates privacy between bedrooms and gathering spaces while still feeling connected and cozy.



    Located in the highly desirable Twin Lakes neighborhood, you’re just minutes from everything Santa Cruz has to offer. Walk to the beach, grab brunch at Harbor Café, enjoy dinner at The Crow’s Nest, or spend the day exploring the nearby Santa Cruz Harbor, Boardwalk, Pleasure Point, and local surf breaks.
