I am excited to share this beautiful home with a quiet, professional person who seeks to share a nature-based, quiet, clean, light-filled space with me so that we can both have a life-giving space from which to flourish.
About The Home (shared space/living room is basically furnished).
Located in quiet La Selva Beach, you will have access to a private beach, 15 minute walk to the ocean, 5 minutes off the freeway, cute town-festivities, and friendly neighborhood where folks are walking all the time.
The house has a ton of natural light and is clean and bright. It was completely remodeled with modern furnishings 2 years ago with new white paint, stone floors, bathroom, high-end laminate floors in bedrooms, hardwood floor living room, dual pane windows.
The wood burning stove keeps the house warm and cozy during rainy seasons.
Ample parking outside and a large amount of land filled with flowers, birds, etc.
There are a few peek-a-boo views of the ocean.
I have quite a bit of outdoor furniture to enjoy the outdoors.
The kitchen has considerable storage.
An important key is that the lease includes pulling weeds/watering the yard. The weed growth varies over the seasons where some months I do no weeding and during heavy growth, I might weed 4-6 hours per month. I find weeding to be a welcome relief from my smart devices.
If you do not want to weed, the rent would increase by $250/month or you can hire a one-time helper (for much cheaper than $250/months) to do your portion of the weeding. I weed so I can keep my rent lower.
Your Room.
Your room has 2 large windows overlooking flowers and nature. One window looks out over a large king palm tree and the neighbor's yard down below. There is plenty of space for a queen bed, dresser, and desk. You would have a large double closet and beautiful new dark wood floors.
The full bathroom separates our bedrooms and there is a separate half bath (not in pics) that will be your private toilet/sink. We share the shower/double sink. I can provide dimensions. Pics of the shared bath are here and I can send you pics of your bathroom and sink.
Me.
I am a professor, author, and nature-lover. I go to the university x2/week and work from home (my room or outside) most every day. I thrive in a quiet, clean, light-filled environment. I enjoy being around others who have warm hearts and positive regard for others. I love my career and am very focused on building a business, so I work every day on my laptop and take time out to be in nature and occasional socializing. I use earbuds and use a zoom that filters all background sound so that you can enjoy the house without feeling like you have to be super quiet. It is important to me that you don’t feel like you have to be ‘friends’ with me. It is important to me that we both possess a warm supportive relationship that has a positive regard for the other and an environment that supports sleep, light, uplifting and honest communication.
You.
I seek a quiet, clean, respectful, mature person who has good boundaries, communicates well, and aims to enjoy life.
Cost: $1750/month, $2250 deposit.
Utilities are not included in rent but are relatively low.
Move In Date: Nov 1, 2026 onwards
It is more important for me to find the right person than rush to fill the room.
