About This Home

As of August 2025

The beach beckons! Are you ready to experience Ocean Front living? Now is the time! On The Sand in Place de Mer! Sweeping ocean views from Monterey to Santa Cruz await the fortunate buyer who makes this very special beach front home their own. 372 Oceanview Drive offers potential buyers the unique opportunity to own a home on the sand and create lifelong memories of good times together with family and friends. Step out your back door and paddle out at one of Santa Cruz County's premier surf spots, or cast your lures into the surf and fish for stripers and halibut. Swim with the dolphins or watch for whales while strolling for miles on the endless wide sandy beaches which stretch from New Brighton to Moss Landing. This is the stuff dreams are made of. This home has been lovingly cared for and shows pride of ownership throughout. Additional perks include low HOA dues and short term rental opportunities. The current owners have shared this magical spot with friends and family since the early 2000's, now it's your turn! Don't let this one get away! Seller is offering a $40,000 credit to buyers to go towards closing costs or buying down loan rate.
