The Captain’s Quarters: Oceanfront Luxury + Built-In Escape Room Adventure

The Captain’s Quarters boasts one of the most spectacular oceanfront views in all of Santa Cruz! This is beachfront living at its best, with wraparound decks facing the Pacific and dramatic Monterey Bay views from nearly every room in the house.

Perched at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and nestled above one of Santa Cruz’s best beaches—Twin Lakes Beach—this single-level home offers unobstructed 260-degree ocean views and direct beach access just steps from the deck. Whether you’re relaxing in the sun or solving your way through an immersive in-home escape room game, every moment here is unforgettable.

Looking for a unique and memorable experience during your vacation? Look no further than our escape room-style puzzle adventure built right into the property. With hidden items containing QR codes, guests can enjoy an interactive challenge without ever leaving the home. From deciphering clues to cracking ciphers, this self-guided mystery adds an extra layer of fun and connection to your stay—perfect for families, friends, and team retreats.

With 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a full kitchen plus a separate updated kitchenette, the home comfortably accommodates multiple families or three generations traveling together. You’ll enjoy 160 feet of ocean frontage, generous indoor and outdoor living space, and parking for up to three vehicles.

Perfectly positioned between the Santa Cruz Boardwalk and Capitola—and just a short walk to the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor—The Captain’s Quarters offers easy access to fresh seafood, local restaurants, beach bonfires, and coastal nightlife. Buy your fish right off the boat from Stagnaro Bros. and cook together in the fully equipped kitchen, or explore the flavors of Santa Cruz just minutes away.

Enjoy breathtaking sunrises from the master suite, and by night, watch the lights of Monterey, Moss Landing, and Pacific Grove glitter across the bay. Whether you’re reconnecting with loved ones or enjoying a one-of-a-kind adventure by the sea, The Captain’s Quarters delivers relaxation, discovery, and oceanfront magic—with a twist of mystery and excitement.
