What's special

Amazing Seabright beach location Just yards from the beach with ocean view from the fenced-in front porch. The adorable cottage style duplex has one of the best locations in the Seabright beach neighborhood. You have the flexibility of renting in the desirable Santa Cruz rental market for one of the units and living in the other, or maximizing your cash flow by renting both units. The front unit has an updated kitchen, bathroom, and has fresh paint. Back unit was previously a STR with a quaint fenced yard garden and patio perfectly suited for barbeques and enjoying the beach climate. This unit also has an updated kitchen, flooring, remodeled bath, and has fresh paint, as well as a multi-purpose loft area that really expands the space. Street parking only. Cypress Avenue is a one way street so beach traffic is minimal. Photos from the back unit were previously used for the STR
