Brand New, Cozy Studio Right Near West Cliff

This beautifully rebuilt stand-alone studio offers a fresh, private living space in one of Santa Cruz’s most desirable coastal neighborhoods-the Lower Westside. Located just moments from West Cliff Drive, you’ll enjoy easy access to scenic ocean walks, bike paths, and stunning sunsets, all just outside your door.
The studio has been fully reconstructed from the ground up, offering a clean, modern interior with thoughtful finishes throughout. Inside, you’ll find a well-appointed kitchen, full bathroom with a convenient defrost feature, and a comfortable living space designed for both functionality and ease. With both heating and air conditioning, the home remains comfortable year-round.
One of the standout features of this property is its privacy. As a detached unit with a private entrance, the studio feels tucked away and quiet. The dedicated outdoor space includes a side patio and surrounding yard area- perfect for relaxing or enjoying the coastal air. There is also a private exterior storage shed ideal for beach gear and smaller personal items, along with access to a shared outdoor shower for rinsing off after the beach.
Conveniently located near neighborhood favorites, the home is within close proximity to New Leaf Market, Safeway, popular restaurants, coffee shops, and public transit. Street parking is available.
All major utilities are included in the rent, including water, sewer, PG&E, trash, and landscaping. Tenant is responsible for internet service.
