1Bd/1Ba Apartment in Gated Community a Block from Ocean View Park - Gardener's Dream!

Are you a serious gardener looking for a new place to live? If so, you could earn up to $1,000 per month by caring for a shared vegetable garden and doing minor maintenance tasks around the property.

We’re looking for a new tenant for our beautiful one-bedroom cottage on sought-after Ocean View Avenue in Midtown, just a half-block from Ocean View Park and a short walk to the Boardwalk and downtown Santa Cruz. Our tiny gated community has four rental units around a gorgeous Victorian, with a beautifully landscaped yard with a vegetable garden in back. The cottage is available immediately (Feb. 2025).

The open living/dining room has several windows, a gas fireplace and hardwood flooring, providing a warm, peaceful home. The kitchen has just been updated with new countertops, plumbing fixtures and appliances, including an induction range/oven, full-sized refrigerator, and apartment-sized dishwasher. A full-sized, stacking washer/dryer is located in a closet directly of the living room.

The large bedroom gets lots of light from a sliding glass door that opens onto a semi-private sitting area. It has a large closet and a second gas stove. The bathroom has a walk-in shower, new plumbing fixtures, a large vanity, and a heated towel warmer.

The tenant is responsible for PG&E, water, and sewer, billed monthly through the online portal. The monthly bills are based on actual usage, but for a single occupancy, you should expect approx. $300 per month. Parking on the gated property is included in the rent. Sorry, but no pets and no co-signers. Please reach out to schedule a viewing if you are interested!
