About This Home

As of May 2014

Classic California Beach House on quiet street in the heart of La Selva. A small latitude adjustment 30 minutes south of Silicon Valley offers a big change of pace & soulful sense of place. Probably the best ocean views for the buck $$ on the coast. Stones throw to private community beach gate and miles of pristine sand and surf.
