Surf's up! Pleasure Point, California, is one of the world's top surfing destinations. But it's name doesn't come from the pleasure of the rolling waves but, rather, from its Prohibition-era heritage as a home to many speakeasies.
Located at the northern end of Monterey Bay, the community of Pleasure Point is located between Santa Cruz and Capitola on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. It was settled first by the Ohlone tribe who lived and fished here until the arrival of European settlers in the 1700s. Spanish missionaries controlled the land for another decade after Mexico gained its independence from Spain in 1821. Eventually, the Mexican government seized the missionary lands and distributed them according to the land grant program that carved most of the California landscape into a patchwork of sprawling Ranchos in the 1800s. Two ranchos - Rancho Arroyo del Rodeo and Rancho Encinalitos - claimed parts of modern day Pleasure Point, using the land primarily for grazing cattle. By the 20th century, the rancho land was sold off to individual landowners. Today, it is mostly a residential community defined by its surf culture even as older beach cottages are routinely being replaced by larger vacation estates. View Pleasure Point City Guide
Balconies are a coveted amenity for many renters looking for high-rise views and opportunities for fresh air. However, you should keep in mind that balconies often come with restrictions.
Before signing a lease, ask about how many people can be on the balcony at once. Also, ask about whether you’re allowed to store a bike or other items.
You’ll also want to know about any maintenance schedules. Using your balcony as storage could result in fines and intervention from your property management.
Keep in mind that not all balconies are created equally. You may discover the views of the parking area are less than optimal or reduce your overall privacy.
Balconies can also get messy with debris, foliage, dirt, and pollen depending on your location. Renters are typically responsible for any clean-up and basic balcony upkeep.
Regardless of the issues to keep in mind, balconies are usually a big win for Pleasure Point renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
