Located just a short 10-minute stroll from Cowell's Beach, the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf, and the iconic Santa Cruz Beach & Boardwalk, you can park your car and easily explore all the best attractions on foot. But here's the real catch—you might find it hard to leave the comfort of this gorgeous home!

As you walk through the front door, you'll be wowed by the expansive entertainer's kitchen, sleek African wood flooring, and elegant designer touches. Yet, the magic truly begins as you step out into the sunny lanai, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living. Picture yourself lounging on the comfortable patio seating, perfecting your putt on the green, or enjoying a friendly game on the free-form bocce ball court—all while surrounded by lush, tranquil gardens that invite you to fire up the BBQ and relax under the stars.

The single-level floor plan boasts 4 spacious bedrooms and 3 luxurious bathrooms, including a master suite that offers private hot tub access for those evening soaks under the Santa Cruz sky. Cozy up by any of the three fireplaces or enjoy the charming old-world touches like limestone floors and the inviting lanai that opens effortlessly to the backyard.

Ohana is perfectly suited for two or even three families traveling together, making it the ultimate space for holiday celebrations or summer vacations. Here, every detail is designed to bring people together and create unforgettable moments.

Super fun trip
We had a wonderful stay. Our daughter attends UC Santa Cruz and we were there for the weekend to see her. Really enjoyed the mini golf and hot tub. Beautiful cozy home with lots of charm.

Perfect family spot
This house was the perfect home base for our extended family visit to Santa Cruz for our daughter’s graduation. It was well appointed with everything we needed and more! We loved relaxing and playing games in the beautiful backyard. The putting green was so fun! The host was very responsive and welcoming. We highly recommend this property.

Great location, beautiful house
Once settled in you can walk to everything! We did not have nice weather during our stay, so we did drive more than expected, but the boardwalk and many restaurants are a quick walk from the house. We were cozy inside with several fireplaces and we played some games in the large backyard. We would definitely stay there again.

Annual trip spent at Ohana
Our annual trip to Santa Cruz was made even better when we stayed at the Ohana property. Wow!!! Kudos to the owners and management team. Location was awesome to Dream Inn, downtown, and of course, the boardwalk! The property was outstanding. Each parent(s) had their own room and bathroom and the young adults/teens were able to share rooms conveniently. Kitchen is very well stocked in terms of pans and utensils. There are different seating areas inside as well as outside the house where you can be social or solitary. The hot tub and putting green were awesome. Our favorite place, though, was sitting outside around the fire! Will definitely book this property again!

Fun getaway with family
Close to boardwalk but not noisy. We ran on the trail to the light house every day, walked to restaurants and threw plastic axes in the backyard. Perfect setup for the 8 of us. Thanks for hosting
