About This Home

As of December 2018

Absolutely without question this is the perfect beach house or vacation rental. Sitting directly on the sand in Rio Del Mar there is an endless beach out the back door, panoramic ocean views throughout the home, it's in turn key condition with custom updates, plentiful sunshine, dining only a couple blocks away, and a sensation of relaxation that is priceless. Come visit this unusual find, but don't forget your sandals, boogie board, fishing pole, volleyball net, walking shoes, sea glass hunting eyes and appetite for the beach life. There are very few ocean front communities throughout Santa Cruz County and this property is definitely the most affordable of the bunch.
