It is the perfect space to enjoy a relaxing and private Santa Cruz experience. Our spacious custom built home was lovingly designed and decorated in a beautiful and unique Talavera style. High end finishes and thoughtful touches abound at Enseñada Del Sol. Our home is a delightful sanctuary that is a clean, well-appointed and safe and quiet place for family and friends to gather and enjoy all that Santa Cruz offers. Enseñada Del Sol is in a fantastic and very central location. The beautiful tide pools at Corcoran beach are just down the street, and a very short walk (less than two blocks) will take you to Sunny Cove or Santa Maria (or "Mo's", as locals know it), both great family beaches! Mo's is a great beach to take a quiet and invigorating long walk. There is a Starbucks around the corner and there are a number of tasty restaurants within walking distance; and don't miss out on the fun local brewery. On Sundays, there is a charming little Farmer's Market only a short walk away. The Boardwalk, the Wharf, Capitola Village and historic downtown Santa Cruz are all just a quick 10 minute drive. The Yacht Harbor and Twin Lakes Beach (with the Crow's Nest, Cafe el Palomar and Java Junction) are a three minute drive or a nice 15 minute walk away. The area is extremely bike and walking friendly, so why not enjoy the area without dealing with the stresses of traffic!!! ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach loungers - Beach towels ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee grinder - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchen island - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Books - Games - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk chair - Printer ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Water sports equipment ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Similar properties ![On the beach](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/20000000/19160000/19150700/19150645/8f55cfe1.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Blacks Beach Retreat,Wi-Fi, near Harbor & Steps to Twin Lakes Beach!
