About this House

Tucked two blocks from the beach path in sought-after Rio Del Mar (95003), this newly built 507 sq. ft. retreat offers something rare: a completely detached home of your own, with none of the shared walls, hallway noise, or dated finishes that come with big apartment complexes. Thoughtfully designed with premium materials and clean coastal style, it's built for easy, low-maintenance living near the water.
Cottage. Surf shack. Pied-a-terre. Call it whatever fits- just know you'd be the very first to live in it.

What Makes It Special:

*Steps to the Sand: The beach path is a two-block stroll away, with sand, surf, and coastal trails easily within reach. Fall asleep to the sound of the waves.
*In-Unit Laundry, Done Right: A brand-new, high-end washer and dryer come standard, right inside the unit.
*Thoughtful Craftsmanship: Every detail is new: high-end appliances, custom cabinetry, and premium finishes throughout.
*A Layout That Adapts: The primary bedroom fits a queen bed comfortably. Beyond the main living space, a bonus room flexes to fit your needs: home office, creative studio, or occasional guest space. 507 sq. ft. total.
*Your Own Space: As a fully detached ADU, you get genuine privacy: a separate entrance, your own metered utilities, and no shared walls with anyone.

Light-Filled Living: Generous windows keep the space bright throughout the day, and two private patio areas give you room to enjoy the outdoors.

Psst... traveling nurses: this one's practically made for you. Both Dominican and Watsonville Community are a short drive away, and we're happy to fully furnish the unit for the right assignment (rate adjusted accordingly). Reach out to talk specifics.

Well-behaved dogs considered on a case-by-case basis- just ask.
Tenant pays utilities. No smoking. We're looking for someone kind who will respect the neighbors. :)

    "Aptos is nice. Very quiet and peaceful. Very safe. Nice natural grocery stores near by. A couple of nice restaurants. Weather during the rainy season can lead to extended power outages and road closures luckily that is only a few times a year. "

    "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. "

    "Yes. People are always walking their dogs around town. Dog owners obey leash laws for the most part and pick up after their animals. There are lots of beaches, parks and trails for dogs to explore. "

    "The area is beautiful and prolific for plants. Neighbors are friendly, there’s easy access to Monterey, Carmel and Big Sur. Nearby development has been blossoming with new businesses opening. Quick access to the beach and close proximity to Niscene Marks make this the perfect combo of ocean meets forest. "

    "I have lived in this neighborhood 15 years and it’s been great. The large pine trees that still remain in Rio Del Mar are because of Mr Spreckels and that this land was his private hunting ground. He preserved the land as best as he could for future generations."
