The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Wharf, and beautiful beaches are approximately 0.7 miles away, while the majestic redwood forests are just a short drive from your doorstep.
Rich in local history, 419 Cedar Street was once home to Chimney Sweep Books, a beloved Santa Cruz shop specializing in rare and antiquarian books.
