Come and enjoy a one-of-a-kind experience in Santa Cruz, California at Beach Hill Bungalow! This charming retreat offers nothing but comfort and convenience. The living space is cozy and invites you to kick back and relax immediately. Curl up in the sofa or recliner and stream your favorite shows on the wall-mounted flatscreen TV for a fun afternoon, or sit outside in the patio to admire the views of the neighborhood and watch the cars pass by. The kitchen area might be small, but it offers everything you could ever need to prepare everything you want, from quick meals to beach snacks or full-course meals. Beach Hill Bungalow is perfect for a thrilling beach-cation with your family or best friends, or a romantic escapade for you and your loved one.

WHAT’S NEARBY
The biggest perk of this retreat is the location. Downtown Santa Cruz is two and a half blocks away; there, you'll find yourself surrounded by an eclectic downtown scene offering street performers, local boutiques, vintage stores, and dining on any cuisine you might desire. Dining options and convenience stores abound nearby, so you shouldn't have any problem finding them. The San Lorenzo River is just a short walk away, as well as the well-known and iconic Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, which is is one of the town’s main draws, offering family-friendly fun year-round. Visit Municipal Wharf and listen to the calls of the sea lions, rent surfboards and hit Cowell's Beach in search of the perfect wave, or rent some bikes and explore some of the nearby paved trails. You better pack your sunscreen and beach towel! The soft sands of Santa Cruz Beach are less than half a mile from you! Other attractions include the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, a day trip to San Francisco (77.5 miles), and the Monterey Bay Aquarium, only 46 miles south.
