Most people dream about waking up on the beach. Youre about to buy that dream at ground level. Nestled between Santa Cruz & Monterey, this gated beachfront community is known for its pristine beaches & unique properties. This renovated condo sits directly on the sand where your morning coffee happens 20 steps from crashing waves. While others pay resort prices for ocean access, your investment works for you around the clock, generating vacation rental income with no permit needed! The complex doesn't mess around with amenities, tennis courts, pickleball, electric car charging, a gift shop, & a peaceful pond for those rare moments when ocean views aren't enough. Hiking trails snake along the coast right from your doorstep, offering bluff-top perspectives that make your investment look understated. Walk from your front door to the beach without navigating parking lots or entrance fees, a luxury that becomes more valuable every time you experience it. Whether youre here full-time or part-time, you're living the life that fills other peoples vacation wishlists. Your biggest decision will be whether to book the next guest or keep the calendar clear for yourself.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
