Rio del Mar, CA 43 Apartments for Rent with Balconies

Rio Del Mar is adjacent to beautiful Seacliff State Beach, which isn't just a fun place to surf or swim. Tourists have visited the beach to see the remains of ship S.S. Palo Alto, which once served at war and returned home to act as a carnival space before the company went out of business. The S.S. Palo Alto is now beached and broken. However, the rental houses in Rio Del Mar are far from broken down. Known locally as the "Rio Del Mar Flats," the area appeals to beach lovers and tourists, so it's easy to find month to month rental options in addition to even shorter rental periods.

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 Rio del Mar renters. Ask about apartments on higher floors for the best views.
