Find Peace in The Last House on The Bluff
101 Grove Lane, Capitola
Whether you’re coming home from work to enjoy family time, spending a long lazy weekend at the beach, or retiring to that dream home you’ve always wanted, the last house on the bluff is your escape from the world. Unlike most homes in the area, the last house on the bluff enjoys a semi-private drive so there is little or no traffic. Once here, you can shed the trappings of the day-to-day and live in peace with the soothing sound of the ocean echoing in your ears. It is not uncommon to see whales, dolphins, seals, and sea otters from the vantage point of your spacious patio. During the fall, the Monarch butterflies will often occupy the mature trees behind Grove Lane, which can be quite mesmerizing. If that were not enough, you’ll have a 180º view that stretches from the beach in front of you, all the way to Pacific Grove and Pebble Beach. The sunrise over Monterey Bay is spectacular! Close proximity to the beach gives you your opportunity to enjoy surfing, paddle boarding, kayaking, and other water sports that are all easily attainable. Or, you can just stroll down to the beach and take delight in the sun and sand. At the end of your day, savor an outdoor barbecue as you watch the evening sky darken and the lights of Monterey Peninsula wink at you from across The Bay. This could be your day, every day, here at the last house on the Capitola Bluff! The choice is entirely yours to make!
