About the host
Hosted by Barry McLaughlin
Retired Professor and wife traveling to cabin in Canada for summer. We have a house-sitter but the ADU is available. Numerous bird feeders in large yard as we are avid bird-watchers.
Why they chose this property
Amazingly quiet with large fenced-in yard is a serene setting for contemplation (and bird-watching)
What makes this property unique
It seems that we are asking a very fair price for the market.
We asked AI what the rent should be by inputing the paragraph with our property details; This was the answer from Gemini (shortened to fit here ). ------- Let's break down how to determine a reasonable rental price for your furnished studio in Santa Cruz for the summer.
Factors to Consider: Location: Westside Santa Cruz is highly desirable and close to the beach and university. This significantly increases value. Quiet street adds to the appeal.
Furnishings and Amenities: Fully furnished is a huge plus. In-unit washer/dryer, dishwasher, microwave, oven/stove, large TV, and gas fireplace are excellent amenities. Loft space is a unique feature. High-speed internet is essential. Bamboo flooring and a large bath area are premium touches. Outside storage shed. Beautiful deck and spacious fenced yard. Vegetable garden and Barbecue. Private entrance. Utilities and Services: "All utilities paid, as well as cable and internet plus biweekly housecleaner" is a major selling point. This simplifies the tenant's life.
Seasonal Demand: Summer rentals in Santa Cruz are in high demand, allowing you to charge a premium.
Pricing Recommendations: Pricing Range: Considering all factors, a reasonable monthly rental price for your furnished studio could range from $3,000 to $4,500. Because all utilities are included, and it is peak season, aiming for the higher end of that range is reasonable. Therefore, a total rental price range for the 4 month period would be $12,000 to $18,000.
Recommendation: Start by listing the rental at $4,000 per month. This allows for some negotiation if needed. ----- (We are renting for $3000/months.)
