    Harbor View Haven – Twin Lakes Waterfront Escape



    Welcome to Harbor View Haven, a spacious 4-bedroom, 2-bath waterfront home located at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac in the North Santa Cruz Harbor. This stunning retreat boasts tropical furnishings, oceanic décor, and breathtaking harbor views, offering the perfect blend of coastal charm and modern comfort for your next Santa Cruz getaway.



    Enjoy vaulted ceilings, skylights, and large windows that fill the open living area with natural light, framing panoramic views of the harbor and surrounding eucalyptus trees. Step onto the upper balcony or relax in the expansive living space, complete with plush seating—ideal for family gatherings or quiet evenings watching boats drift by.



    The open-concept kitchen and dining area is designed for entertaining, featuring high-end appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry with pantry storage. The “look-through” layout connects seamlessly to the living room, allowing guests to enjoy harbor views while cooking or dining together.



    The home includes two levels of bedrooms, each thoughtfully decorated with comfort and relaxation in mind. The upstairs primary suite offers private balcony access with stunning views, while the themed children’s room is sure to delight younger guests. A jetted tub in the main bath provides the perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring.



    Outside, the Harborview patio invites you to soak in the private hot tub overlooking the Santa Cruz Harbor, grill on the gas BBQ, or dine al fresco beneath the towering eucalyptus trees. Watch the sunset over the water and enjoy the peaceful sound of boats passing by as the sky fills with stars.



    This home is perfectly located for exploring Santa Cruz’s best attractions. Walk to Twin Lakes and Seabright Beaches, stop by Harbor Café for brunch or The Crow’s Nest for dinner, grab a coffee at The Kind Grind, or stroll through Arana Gulch for hiking and biking. Nearby, you’ll also find tennis courts, playgrounds, and picnic spots at Frederick Street Park. Popular destinations like the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Lighthouse Field, Seacliff State Beach, and Roaring Camp Railroads are all within a 10-mile radius.



    A large two-car garage and driveway parking for up to six vehicles make this home convenient for families or groups.
