Brown’s Beach House – Where Coastal Views & Family Memories Meet

Perched above Santa Maria Beach with sweeping sight-lines of 26th Avenue, Pleasure Point, and sunny Cove, Brown’s Beach House is the quintessential Santa Cruz family retreat. This craftsman-style, two-story getaway pairs 2,300 sq ft of airy living space with postcard-worthy ocean panoramas, a bubbling hot tub, and a crackling river-rock fireplace—everything your crew needs for equal parts relaxation and adventure.

Inside, the main-level great room invites everyone to gather around floor-to-ceiling windows and a stone-framed hearth after a sun-soaked day on the sand. The gourmet kitchen—stocked with stainless appliances and quality cookware—flows effortlessly into the dining area and garden-view porch, making family meals a breeze. All four bedrooms are tucked upstairs: two king suites for parents or grandparents, a queen room perfect for another couple, and a twin room kids will claim the moment they arrive. Step out onto either upper deck for morning coffee seasoned with salty sea air, or head to the lower patio to grill dinner while the hot tub heats up and waves roll in below.

Set at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac, you’re walking-distance to five surf breaks, the Yacht Harbor, and local favorites for tacos, coffee, craft beer, and boutique shopping—so the car keys can take a vacation, too. When you do feel like exploring farther, Beachnest’s local team is only minutes away with insider tips and on-the-ground support.
