I think there is an opportunity there to rent short term to tourists.Speaking of tourists, surfers flock from all around the world to the west side (the best side) to surf the majestic waves at Jobos, Survival, Wilderness, Middles and other famous local surf spots in surfing contests hosted by Corona and other companies, so there is definitely an opportunity to capitalize on tourism. 

The mountains are nowhere near as impressive as the Sierras, but the area has several ski resorts, enjoys great weather, and is an easy getaway for the L.A. and San Diego crowd.
