    What's special

    Large treesPeaceful and quiet streetHardwood floors throughoutHigh ceilingsOutdoor showerHot tubGenerous storage
    Just one block from the beach, on a peaceful and quiet street, with large trees. A beautiful ADU situated above the garage, with high ceilings and lots of natural light pouring through the windows. Hardwood floors throughout, and beautiful granite counter tops in the kitchen. It's a studio, so one complete room, with plenty of space for a king-sized bed, couch, and dining table / desk. There is a large closet and generous storage. You'll have access to a beautiful garden with mature redwood trees, a hot tub, outdoor shower, and an outdoor deck. Perfect for surfers or beach lovers! Only 10 min walk to exceptional coffee shops, grocery stores, and parks. Easily bikeable and just one block from West Cliff. We're a young family that normally lives next door but we may not be there some of the time. Your well-behaved pets are welcome! We love animals. Please send me a message directly to my phone for inquiries (I sometimes miss Zillow messages). Thank you! We're a young family who lives next door, so please, no smoking, no drugs, no parties. We want a chill, lovely renter.
