Celebrating 10 years: fixed fees, full service, fast responses

Property search · The Consumer Protection Brokerage

Every listing shows your estimated rebate.

The green number on each home is what could come back to you: the buyer-broker fee (typically 2 to 3%) minus our flat $9,750. No other search shows you this, because no other brokerage gives it back.

Welcome to the pinnacle of California coastal living at 543 Beach Drive, situated within the private gated community of Rio Surf and Sand. Redefined by a flawless renovation over the last three years, this extraordinary beachfront residence captures the essence of refined oceanfront luxury. Honed limestone floors run continuously throughout the home, uniting the sleek interior design with timeless durability. Designed with scale and dramatic light in mind, the generous public rooms feature an effortless open layout ideal for hosting grand gatherings or enjoying quiet, intimate evenings as the sun dips below the horizon. The main living space transitions naturally into a gourmet chef kitchen finished with custom cabinetry, premium stone surfaces, and top of the line stainless steel appliances. Drawing your gaze toward the ocean, expansive glass doors line the public spaces and open onto a spacious deck, creating a seamless connection between the home interior and the pristine shore below. Unlike standard waterfront properties, this residence offers the ultimate rare luxury: direct land ownership extending all the way to the high tide mark. Step directly off your private deck onto the soft sand of your own beach. Accommodations are exceptionally well appointed, featuring four spacious bedrooms along with three full baths and one half bath. The home boasts two luxurious primary suites, each complete with its own spa inspired ensuite bath and private steam sauna. Two additional guest bedrooms, a full guest bathroom, a convenient powder room, and a dedicated laundry room ensure absolute comfort for family and visitors alike. Outside, parking for four cars adds a rare level of convenience for a beachfront home, alongside ample storage for all of your beach toys and surfboards. Whether envisioned as a world class coastal sanctuary or a turn key retreat for gathering family and friends, this Aptos masterpiece presents an elevated lifestyle in one of California's most charming seaside communities. Secluded along the shores of Monterey Bay, Aptos offers a rare blend of relaxed sophistication and quintessential coastal charm with renowned restaurants and quaint local shops. Known for towering redwoods meeting the sea, a historic village feel, serene beaches, and scenic coastal trails, Aptos provides a tranquil coastal sanctuary just moments down the coast from San Francisco and Silicon Valley.
