About this property

Light-Filled Carriage House Apartment- Blocks to Beach and Boardwalk

Our 1928 carriage house apartment is situated in historic Beach Hill. It has been recently renovated, yet much of the original charm has been maintained. It is a perfect spot for families or small groups - close to many tourist spots yet located in a residential neighborhood.
Cowell's Beach (boogie boarding and surfing), Steamer's Lane (advanced surfing), Monterey Exploration Center, Boardwalk, wharf, Warriors basketball stadium, downtown, and West Cliff Drive (bike/walking path along the ocean) are all a quick 5 minute walk from our house.
The apartment is located in a private garden setting, away from the main street, behind our home. We hope you will love this historical neighborhood as much as we do!

Fantastic location/apartment, fantastic host
My family and I traveled to Santa Cruz for the Ironman event and stayed two nights. The apartment is clean, bright, and in a perfect location, close to the boardwalk, beach, and Depot Park. Our hosts were incredibly gracious. I would absolutely stay again!

Great accommodations
This is a wonderful, warm, inviting, two bedroom apartment in Santa Cruz. The central location enabled us to walk to several things. Hostess, Sarah, was very helpful. My grandson borrowed their surf board and happily was able to surf. This is a great place to stay. If I’m back, it’ll be here.

Cozy, convenient, and wonderful!
I highly recommend staying here. We are a family of 4 (husband, wife, two kids ages 5 & 8), and the space was plenty for us. The private backyard oasis was beautiful! Everything is within walking distance or just a few min drive into town. We had the pleasure of meeting our host and she was very kind. You cannot beat the privacy, quiet, and detail that you get here with any hotel. The small touches provided from a s’mores kit to beach toys, are appreciated as well. Thank you for letting us stay!
