Opal Cliffs House | Santa Cruz N At The Beach! Oceanfront w/Amazing Sunsets!

4 Bedroom House in Opal Cliffs, Santa Cruz

Summary
Coastal Living Style home with a nautical flair, perfectly perched right on the water with panoramic ocean views. Spend your days soaking up the sunshine on the oceanfront patio, complete with a gas grill, fire pit, and outdoor dining sets and lounges. A second lower patio offers even more space.
Inside, unwind in the cozy bay window with a good book, gather around the fireplace for games, or simply watch dolphins, surfers, and even the occasional whale pass by.
Stroll along the newly paved oceanfront promenade on East Cliff and grab a bite & coffee at the "Pleasure Point Cafe" around the bend, in a casual beach atmosphere. Fun fact: this area is home to the surf film Chasing Mavericks!

Summary: Beautiful location with fabulous ocean views and close to the beach. But, the area in front of the house is not beach. House was well stocked and the beach cart was particularly helpful. The checkin time of 4 seemed very late, especially with a checkout of 10:30. But otherwise the process was smooth. We were traveling with our adult kids and grandkids and fit in the space well. Thanks for a lovely weekend!
