Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1993 (33 years old), the property is well-maintained but dated. While the resort management ensures it remains functional and move-in ready, the age of the systems and interior fixtures (such as the analog-style thermostat and 90s-era construction) aligns with the Fair category, requiring minor cosmetic or system updates rather than a full rehab.
Owners benefit from an extensive suite of luxury amenities, including multiple pools, hot tubs, beach shuttle services, and access to the Seascape Sports Club's tennis and fitness facilities.
The property is integrated into a professionally managed vacation rental program, offering a turnkey opportunity to generate income while allowing for up to 90 days of personal use annually.
Featuring desirable ocean views, this unit is perfectly positioned near Seascape Golf Club and Capitola Village, providing a high-demand destination for vacationers and investors alike.
