About this property

This spectacular beach front house sits right on the sand, enjoying wide-open views of the sailors and surfers out on Monterey Bay. Check in, soak in the hot tub and watch the waves break on the beach. Barbecue your dinner down at the garden patio, then dine outdoors on the picnic deck, all without taking your eyes off the entrancing view. This great family home has an extra large, fully-equipped kitchen with a huge dining table that easily seats eight. Take your ease in the porch swing or hammock. Plan your adventures on the iMac computer with broadband WiFi Internet service. Clean up with outdoor shower, dishwasher, washer, and dryer. Then head out for the great Santa Cruz nightlife, or chill at home with the widescreen TV and HDTV cable service with DVR and blu-ray player. Walk to the Aloha Grill or the Taqueria Michoacan. Walk to the farmer's market. Warm up by the chimenea. Wonder where the week went so fast. Better make it two weeks next time.

Beach Access : This house is located at the edge of the beach, where it is protected from wave erosion by rip-rap. Beach access varies from season to season, depending mainly on the effect of winter storms on the sand level and lagoon location.

Parking: You can easily fit three cars in the driveway, and one more by parking valet-style. The nearest on-street parking is two blocks away.

Internet and computer: We provide broadband Internet access with wifi throughout the house and outdoor areas We also provide a 27" high-def (3560 x 1440) Dell monitor on a built-in desk in the kitchen, with comfortable office-style chair.

Phone: We provide free calling on our Ooma phone. You may also use our wifi for IP calling, if your cell phone supports that. Cell service is marginal.

Family getaway

Our stay at the Aquarius was so peaceful and relaxing. Enjoying the sounds of the waves while reading a good book outside was priceless.

Great escape!

Loved the location- yard- spa- Beds were pretty comfy. Only problems we had w property were the main room carpet was stained and very dirty and the people before us put dirty dishes away so we had to clean before using. The kitchen supplies were old and need to be replaced. Dishes n silverware were new and great. BBQ was awesome with outdoor fireplace. Hot tub was clean n serviced twice a week. Loved the view and being a billy goat walking down rocks to sand. Great dog beach. We would book this house again because of the view!!

Beach Vacation

The house has that beach vibe and of course being on the beach was wonderful. All 3 of the outside spaces have their usefulness. One had an entry into the house and large table for dining. The lower level had a fire feature and the deck off the kitchen has the hot tub. We enjoyed the area as well, being close to town and state parks was great.
