Description

Most people daydream about waking up at the beach. You're about to make it your reality at ground level. Tucked between Santa Cruz and Monterey, this gated beachfront community is known for pristine sand, dramatic coastline, and the kind of setting that makes regular life feel slightly overrated. This renovated condo sits directly on the beach, which means your morning coffee is just minutes from the waves, and sunrise or sunset adventures start the second you are outside. Your family and friends can enjoy it the way it was meant to be enjoyed, as your personal coastal escape. The complex brings the extras too: tennis courts, pickleball, EV charging, a gift shop, and a peaceful pond for the rare moments when ocean views aren't enough. Coastal trails run along the bluffs right from your doorstep with views that make a quick adventure feel like a full reset. Seascape Village, Moss Landing, and the wildlife-rich beauty of Elkhorn Slough are just down the road. Live here full-time or keep it as your beach getaway. Either way, you're buying the on-the-coast lifestyle most people only get for a long weekend.
Important: This listing is for an undivided 50 percent Tenant In Common interest only. Not a full ownership sale. Subject to the Tenant In Common agreement.
