Description

Large attractive master bedroom, furnished, with ensuite full bath & private porch
$1350/mo
Aptos, about a block from Cabrillo (8 miles from UCSC)

A tree-protected haven house, minutes to Capitola and Soquel villages, to the ocean at New Brighton & Seacliff State Parks, & to the freeway. The location is close to everything, yet feels rural & private, peaceful. The deer come through often, and like to sleep in the big yard.
The room is spacious, nicely furnished, an efficiency with mini-fridge, microwave, coffeemaker. Private porch, quiet & peaceful. Bathtub/full bath. Carport parking. No smoking, no pets. Good buses to town (#s 1 & 2) right down at the corner, as needed. Ideal for one person who values a clean, harmonious living space.
One other person (me) lives in the 3-bedroom, 2 1/2 bath home on a large, safe lot.
Access is welcome to the upstairs kitchen, the 2nd story & roof decks & washer & dryer downstairs.
The house is not huge but the bedrooms are nicely separate & private. An extra bedroom downstairs is available for guests, or? Month-to-month lease. Term: one year, or?
Available now.
Great place to come home to~

No smoking, no pets.
Lease is month-to-month. I would like a year's term if possible, but can be flexible.
I'm looking for a housemate who enjoys a smoothly-running home also.
Note: if you try to see the house on Google, it shows the wrong house! Also, you cannot see the house from the road. The map here in Zillow shows it correctly.
The 1st month's rent will of course be pro-rated based on when the housemate moves in. Thank you!

  • Casey Meyer

  • Jack M.
    "I use the Highway which is close to my neighborhood. Outside of that, the county bus system is the only public transit. The commute traffic is bad. Aptos is bikeable around the highway but there are many tight roads and can be hilly. "

Quick access to the beach and close proximity to Niscene Marks make this the perfect combo of ocean meets forest. "
  • Jason95052
    "No homeless people out robbing and breaking into cars like in santa cruz. Aptos is a shield from them and thats why i moved here. Sherifs actually respond to illegal activity vs the sc police having you fill out an online form and nothing ever happens..."
