Panoramic Ocean View in a Beachfront Luxury Home

This modern 2500 square foot vacation rental has a panoramic ocean view. Sitting on the 26th Avenue Beach, it is located between the Capitola and Santa Cruz piers just west of Pleasure Point.

The AwesomeView is situated on a point which sets the home farther out towards the ocean than any of the multi-million dollar homes on either side, so you have a complete 180 degree panoramic view of the ocean. Whether during the day when the sun sparkles off the water or in the evening when the moon's reflection is captured in the silver lining curl of the waves, the view is breathtaking and will command your attention often during your stay.

Every room, except the bathrooms, has an ocean view. Even when cooking or washing the dishes, you can enjoy the ocean's entertainment from the peacefulness of the breaking waves to the plethora of wildlife such as sea otters, porpoises, a variety of birds, and of course, the surfers who find the shore-break in front of our home one of the best in Santa Cruz.

The home has three bedrooms plus a kid’s sleeping area, three full bathrooms, three living rooms, three TV’s (75" LG in living room and 55" downstairs kid's room, and one HDTV in master bedroom), Xfinity Cable for WiFi Mesh Network and more. Our goal is to provide supreme accommodations for an awesome vacation. Please contact us to see if our home is available for your special time.

The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a coffee maker, and a phone. Housekeeping is available on request.

Relaxing Thanksgiving at Awesome View

We woke up each morning and drank our coffee with an incredible view. We saw all manners of birds, dolphins, otters, seals and surfers. We strolled on the beach when the tide was out and lounged in the sun on the patio. The condo was spacious and clean with all the amenities to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner.

Awesome view is right! Absolutely Beautiful View

My entire family (all adults 18-83) stayed here for my mother's 80th birthday. The location and view is simply breathtaking! We purposely spent one entire day just enjoying the view and watching the surfers. The home itself is very comfortable and clean. From the couches to the beds.. all very comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked. The hot tub was also lovely. We stayed at this home 13 years ago when my kids were in their teens and surfed daily. We never forgot that experience and jumped at the chance to stay again! Thank you Marty for the accommodations and for such a amazing home and being so responsive and helpful.

Great Property with Amazing Views

The location was wonderful, as it is beachfront with a 180 degree view of the ocean. While there are steps from the property to the beach, we deemed it too dangerous for our group that included young kids. However, beach access was an easy, short walk away either north or south and we enjoyed our time at the beach every day! The unit itself was great for our needs and had everything we needed to prepare meals and enjoy a relaxing vacation. Just a couple of things to note: the windows open to let in a nice breeze, however, there are no safety guards so young kids will need to be monitored closely if windows are open wide (as they can fall through.) As this unit shares a community space, you'll need to be diligent about keeping things like toys and towels tidy and out of sight. The property owners were responsive and provided all the information and details to ensure we had a great time! Thanks for a wonderful stay!
