Private Coastal Retreat in the Heart of Pleasure Point

Set in one of Santa Cruz’s most coveted coastal neighborhoods, this thoughtfully remodeled Coastal Craftsman captures the relaxed coastal lifestyle that makes Pleasure Point so desirable. Just moments from the ocean and the neighborhood’s renowned surf breaks, the home offers an uncommon combination of space, privacy, indoor-outdoor living, and thoughtful design.

Fully enclosed behind custom gates, fencing, and mature landscaping, the property feels private and tucked away from the street while remaining right in the heart of Pleasure Point. Warm cedar shingles, natural wood accents, and clean contemporary lines give the home a distinctive coastal character that feels perfectly suited to its surroundings.

With a scale that is hard to find in the neighborhood, the home offers 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, providing considerably more room and flexibility than many properties in Pleasure Point. A thoughtfully designed ground-level en suite bedroom is ideal for guests, extended stays, a private office, or anyone looking for the convenience of main-level accommodations.

Inside, vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light create a bright, airy atmosphere. Wide-plank flooring, bamboo cabinetry, Caesarstone countertops, stainless steel appliances, and warm finishes give the home an elevated coastal feel without losing the comfortable, easygoing character that defines life near the beach. The kitchen is designed as a natural gathering place, with generous workspace and an open connection to the surrounding living and dining areas.

The primary suite provides a private retreat of its own, complete with a spacious walk-in closet with rich wood built-ins and direct access to a private deck. Throughout the home, the layout creates an easy flow between interior living spaces and the outdoors.

Outdoor living is one of the property’s defining features. The expansive upper-level deck wraps around nearly the entire home, offering ocean glimpses along with generous space for dining, lounging, and entertaining. A covered outdoor living area beneath an automated Brustor patio cover extends the usability of the deck and creates a comfortable place to gather throughout the seasons.

The private backyard is equally inviting and designed for everything from quiet mornings to larger gatherings with friends and family. Multiple patio and lounge areas, a pergola-covered entertaining space, hot tub, outdoor shower, mature landscaping, and an outdoor swimsuit dryer make the space especially well suited to the Pleasure Point lifestyle. After a morning in the water, everything you need is right at home.

Additional amenities include a multi-zone Sonos whole-home audio system, 240V Tesla EV charger, automated driveway gate, dedicated laundry room, and numerous thoughtful updates and conveniences throughout.

Private, spacious, and designed around indoor-outdoor living, this is a home that feels distinctly Pleasure Point. It offers the room to live and entertain comfortably, the flexibility of a rare 4-bedroom floor plan, and the opportunity to enjoy one of Santa Cruz’s most iconic coastal neighborhoods just moments from the surf.
