The Space:
Permit: SC# 231406

Tucked away in a quiet, central neighborhood, Live Oak Oasis is perfectly located just minutes from everything Santa Cruz has to offer. Whether you're here to surf the legendary waves of "the Hook" in Pleasure Point or "Steamer Lane" on West Cliff Drive, hike the awe-inspiring trails of Nisene Marks State Park in Aptos, or soak up sun and charm in Capitola Village, this is your launchpad to adventure — and your sanctuary to unwind.
Step inside and feel instantly at ease. Light-filled rooms and beach-chic decor create cozy yet modern good vibes. Gather in the warm morning light around the kitchen island, stream your favorite shows on the smart TVs in the den by the electric fireplace or primary bedroom or sink into the plush sofa in the sunny living room for a quiet read or an afternoon nap.

The fully equipped kitchen features stainless steel appliances, sleek stone countertops, and all the essentials to whip up a fresh breakfast or family dinner. Choose your dining experience: 2 can perch at the kitchen island or dine at the high-top pass-through counter, or 4 can gather around the farmhouse-style table.
Outside, your private oasis awaits. The large backyard is a peaceful haven with native landscaping, a shaded pergola, and space to sip morning coffee or enjoy al fresco dinners under the stars. Located in the sunny "banana belt" region, the yard captures every golden hour in full glory.
