Description

We’re looking for a new tenant for our beautiful one-bedroom cottage on sought-after Ocean View Avenue in Midtown, just a half-block from Ocean View Park and a short walk to the Boardwalk and downtown Santa Cruz. Our tiny gated community has four rental units around a gorgeous Victorian, with a beautifully landscaped yard with a vegetable garden in back. The cottage is available immediately (Feb. 2025). The open living/dining room has several windows, a gas fireplace and hardwood flooring, providing a warm, peaceful home. The kitchen has just been updated with new countertops, plumbing fixtures and appliances, including an induction range/oven, full-sized refrigerator, and apartment-sized dishwasher. A full-sized, stacking washer/dryer is located in a closet directly of the living room. The large bedroom gets lots of light from a sliding glass door that opens onto a semi-private sitting area. It has a large closet and a second gas stove. The bathroom has a walk-in shower, new plumbing fixtures, a large vanity, and a heated towel warmer. The tenant is responsible for PG&E, water, and sewer, billed monthly through the online portal. The monthly bills are based on actual usage, but for a single occupancy, you should expect approx. $300 per month. Parking on the gated property is included in the rent. Sorry, but no pets and no co-signers. Please reach out to schedule a viewing if you are interested! We approve applicants who have a household income of three times the monthly rent amount, good credit (625 min. credit score) and positive landlord and/or employer references. Applicants cannot have any record of bankruptcies in the last two years or any previous unlawful detainers. We require a separate application for any resident over the age of 18 who will be living at this residence. We also require any resident under the age of 18 to be identified as well. Our office participates in the Pet Screening service, ALL APPLICANTS MUST COMPLETE A PROFILE EVEN IF THERE ARE NO PETS IN THE HOME.
