Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Oceanfront Location & Views: Iconic oceanfront property in the heart of Capitola Village, offering a balcony overlooking Monterey Bay, steps to the sand, surfing, dining, and shopping. Features excellent panoramic ocean and bay views, including the Capitola Wharf.
Historical Significance & Unique Architecture: Part of the iconic Venetian Court, a timeless home built in 1930 in a Spanish Colonial Revival style with strong Mediterranean influences, adding significant character and historical appeal.
Strong Short-Term Rental Potential: Located in a designated short-term rental area with a proven great rental history, indicating significant income-generating potential for investors.
Recent High-End Renovations: Recently updated throughout with upscale products, resulting in a virtually new interior that meets current quality standards with no visible deferred maintenance, as confirmed by an excellent condition score.
Rare Deeded Parking: Includes 2 rare offsite deeded parking spaces, a significant advantage in the densely populated Capitola Village where parking is often scarce.

Cons

High Association Fees: The property carries a substantial monthly association fee of $2,260.00, which adds significantly to the ongoing cost of ownership.
Age of Original Structure: Despite recent updates, the property was originally built in 1930, meaning the underlying structure is nearly a century old, which could lead to unforeseen maintenance challenges or limitations over time.
Potential for Noise and Crowds: Its prime location in the heart of Capitola Village, steps from popular attractions like the beach, wharf, and dining, implies high foot traffic and potential for noise, especially during peak seasons, which may impact quiet enjoyment.
