622 Sunset Drive, Capitola

622 Sunset is a beach-town home built for however life shows up. Up front, two bedrooms and a loft; out back, a one-bedroom, one-bath space of its own. Two connected spaces, suited to guests or a quiet home office.

All of it is a short walk from Gayle’s Bakery, Capitola Village and Capitola Beach. Here the whole weekend happens on foot: coffee and a pastry in the morning, the sand in the afternoon, evenings in the Village.

Everyday details make it easy, too: storage at the end of the carport and a laundry room reached from the bedroom or the patio. Used as one home or as two connected spaces, 622 Sunset offers walkable, low-maintenance beach-town living moments from the water.

The neighborhood: Capitola

Capitola Village sits where Soquel Creek meets Monterey Bay. Its wharf dates to 1857, the Venetian Court, begun in 1924, still faces the sand, and the Esplanade keeps restaurants, shops and the beach within a few blocks of one another.

Sunset Drive sits in the Riverview Terrace area above the creek, and most of the week can be lived on foot from here. Gayle’s Bakery, on Bay Avenue since 1978, is about a seven-minute walk, the Esplanade and beach about eleven, and the wharf about thirteen. Highway 1 is two minutes by car, Pleasure Point about five and downtown Santa Cruz about ten. Schools are in the Soquel Union Elementary School District and Santa Cruz City Schools.

Nearby: Gayle’s Bakery, about a 7-minute walk · Capitola Esplanade and beach, about an 11-minute walk · Capitola Wharf, about a 13-minute walk · Pleasure Point, about 5 minutes · Downtown Santa Cruz, about 10 minutes
