Bella Notte by the beach Studio 6

Under new ownership and management, the property has been thoughtfully enhanced to elevate the guest experience. Recent upgrades include seamless self-check-in, enhanced soundproofing, new flooring, and brand-new appliances, creating a stay that feels both refined and effortless.


The Coastal Setting

Just moments away lies Blacks Beach, the dog-friendly eastern portion of Twin Lakes State Beach. This scenic shoreline stretches along coastal bluffs and overlooks the Santa Cruz Harbor, offering breathtaking Pacific views and a relaxed local atmosphere. Guests can enjoy sunset walks along the sand, swimming, fishing, or harbor strolls, while seasonal fire pits create the perfect setting to watch the sun dip into the ocean.
