Escape to "Enseñada Del Sol" Beach House

Our lovely beach home, Enseñada Del Sol, is just over a block from Sunny Cove beach. 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!!!
