The gate closes behind you, and suddenly Santa Cruz feels like your private retreat that others dont know about. Harbor Knolls doesnt advertise itself, it just quietly delivers what others promise. Your biggest decisions revolve around pool or hot tub first, sauna or evening harbor walks less than a mile away. While others book vacation rentals for weekend escapes, youre living it. This 1 Bedroom + Office, 1100 square foot sanctuary overlooks the pool while soaring high ceilings make other homes feel cramped and apologetic. The recent renovations get it, spaces that breathe and function without trying too hard. Two parking spots including garage plus driveway mean youll never hunt for street parking, while guest parking ensures visitors can actually visit without the usual Santa Cruz parking theatrics. Twin Lakes State Beach sits just over a mile away, the harbor calls for sunset wandering, and Seabright Beach handles morning coffee runs. When colleagues stress about finding time to unwind, youll quietly calculate how long it takes to walk from your door to the pool. Most people work toward this kind of living, youve found where that work pays off.
