Panoramic Ocean View in a Beachfront Luxury Home

This modern 2500 square foot holiday rental has a panoramic ocean view. Sitting on the 26th Avenue Beach, it is located between the Capitola and Santa Cruz piers just west of Pleasure Point. (County Permit #231534)

The AwesomeView is situated on a point which sets the home farther out towards the ocean than any of the multi-million dollar homes on either side, so you have a complete 180 degree panoramic view of the ocean. Whether during the day when the sun sparkles off the water or in the evening when the moon's reflection is captured in the silver lining curl of the waves, the view is breathtaking and will command your attention often during your stay.

Every room, except the bathrooms, has an ocean view. Even when cooking or washing the dishes, you can enjoy the ocean's entertainment from the peacefulness of the breaking waves to the plethora of wildlife such as sea otters, porpoises, a variety of birds, and of course, the surfers who find the shore-break in front of our home one of the best in Santa Cruz.

The home has three bedrooms plus a kid’s sleeping area, three full bathrooms, three living rooms, three TV’s (75" LG in living room and 55" downstairs kid's room, and one HDTV in master bedroom), Xfinity Cable for WiFi Mesh Network and more. Our goal is to provide supreme accommodation for an awesome holiday. Please contact us to see if our home is available for your special time.

Relaxing Thanksgiving at Awesome View

We woke up each morning and drank our coffee with an incredible view. We saw all manners of birds, dolphins, otters, seals and surfers. We strolled on the beach when the tide was out and lounged in the sun on the patio. The condo was spacious and clean with all the amenities to cook a full Thanksgiving dinner.

Awesome view is right! Absolutely Beautiful View

My entire family (all adults 18-83) stayed here for my mother's 80th birthday. The location and view is simply breathtaking! We purposely spent one entire day just enjoying the view and watching the surfers. The home itself is very comfortable and clean. From the couches to the beds.. all very comfortable. The kitchen is very well stocked. The hot tub was also lovely. We stayed at this home 13 years ago when my kids were in their teens and surfed daily. We never forgot that experience and jumped at the chance to stay again! Thank you Marty for the accommodations and for such a amazing home and being so responsive and helpful.

We had a fabulous stay at Awesome View. The location is AMAZING. Not just the full 200* panoramic ocean view but its located right between 26 and Moran Beach. That strip of East Cliff is peaceful and residential, very "local". Parking was easier than expected. We had 3 cars and room for all. The kitchen was well-stocked. Double sets of dishes and silverware meant only running a full load occasionally. Cookware was amply sufficient to feed a crowd of foodies. The beds were comfortable! Every bed was complaint-free - good, firm mattresses, soft and firm pillows, comfortable linens. Marty was very helpful and met our request for unscented detergent, keeping us allergy-free. I am a bedding snob and I was VERY comfortable here. Each bedroom had a view too. Falling asleep to the sound of the surf was magical. We did run a few loads of towels. A party of 6 can go through linens quickly, but that's on us. We did bring beach towels with us but having some dedicated to the outside use would have been handy. We made great use of the grill- it is charcoal so plan ahead. The patio does get direct sun so bring your hats and plan for making your shade or retreating indoors during the hot afternoons. The bodyboards in the garage were also put to use. The surf outside was pounding, but we rode some waves and survived! Go and have fun, but be mindful its a strong current. Thank you for hosting us, Marty! We will remember this trip forever and can't wait to come back.
The best location on East Cliff.

This place was perfect! We had a wide range of ages and mobilities, and it was great to be able to sit and stare at the waves (for those with limited mobility) or get in the waves (for everyone else:). Upstairs was wonderful for doing puzzles, watching TV, reading a book, and hanging out on the balcony. Plenty of room to spread out.Everything worked well, and the kitchen was great. First rental we've been in with a pizza cutter and a turkey baster. Added bonus, we saw whales and dolphins most evenings, Oh, and Marty called the first night to see how we were doing and if we had any questions. Great communication.We will be back!
