Opal Cliffs House | Romantic Retreat. Soak in the hot tub or lie on loft bed; listen to the surf.

1 Bedroom House in Opal Cliffs, Santa Cruz

Romantic Retreat: This fantastically located, atmospheric guest house was custom designed by the owner. This intimate home is ideal for two and perhaps a well behaved canine! Take a hop and a skip down the street to the cliffs of Pleasure Point, where you can surf yourself or view the surfers down below while you walk. After your stroll, you can rinse off in the outdoor shower before you soak in the bubbling cedar wood hot tub. Enjoy the privacy, the curling leaves of the pepper tree, and the lovely music of the wind chimes. Swing in a hammock as you cool off. There is a small hot tub deck and a small outdoor area in front of the house near the garden with bubbling fountain.
The bungalow boasts Spanish tile floors, a romantic sleeping loft with sky lights, a custom built desk and bookshelf, atmospheric lighting on dimmers, many books of poetry and about spirituality. Please note that you cannot stand in the loft, which most people very cosy. The feeling of the house is peaceful and the neighborhood quiet. We have several DVDs, many of them romantic comedies, as well as instant Netflix. We also provide Direct tv so that you can watch your favorite channels.
You can walk to nearby 41st Ave. to great cafes and restaurants, or drive to picturesque Capitola Village for unique stores and boutiques.
The house and location are great for people wanting a peaceful atmosphere. Great feeling house for reading, meditating, writing and contemplation, or spending quality time with that special someone. It is wonderful to walk out the door and be able to stroll along the beach during minus tide times, or to explore beaches nearby. It is a short drive to picturesque Capitola Village, and Santa Cruz has great hiking trails as well as even more awesome beaches.

Summary: Very cozy. The place is a small guest house (behind the main house) accessible via the alley. Small cov'd carport leads to a private courtyard with a rustic outdoor shower and tranquil water feature. Inside your greeted with warm decor and size appropriate furnishings. The bed is in the upstairs loft, very comfy but if you're tall it takes some careful maneuvering. The small patio out back has tub-shaped jacuzzi for 2 and it was wonderful. The kitchen is well appointed for the tiny space but a bit on the dark side. Some under counter lighting would go a long way. Also a microwave vs a toaster oven is a personal preference. Oven and stove worked great. Would definitely stay again
