Light-Filled Escape: Your Home Away From Home

**Welcome to Your Tranquil Retreat**

Tucked away in the vibrant heart of Rio Del Mar, this serene retreat offers a breath of fresh air from city life without sacrificing convenience. Situated within a stone's throw of the beach, Forest of Nisene Marks, restaurants, shopping and a few miles from Capitola and Santa Cruz, your stay promises both relaxation and easy access to all the city has to offer

**Space for Every Occasion:**

Whether you're unwinding after a day of exploring or gathering with family and friends, prepare to relax in the open concept living room with mountain views. Enjoy the oversized couch and wood burning stove, play games at the large dining table, sit at the island and enjoy the view, or prepare a meal in the fully stocked kitchen.

**Recharge and Unwind:**

The modern kitchen is equipped for culinary adventures, while the living area invites you to sink into plush seating and enjoy a cozy evening. Recharge in bedrooms featuring soft, quality linens and wake up refreshed, ready to embark on your next adventure.

**Inspired by Nature:**

Step outside to discover a private outdoor space where morning coffee pairs with fresh breezes and birds singing. Perfect for soaking up the sun or greeting the evening sky around the fire pit, this area seamlessly extends your living space.
