Thanks for the kind feedback.
As for living locations, I would stick to as close to the beach as you can afford. From there, pick your style as either 3rd st. promenade, or Main St.
Main St. is more local, and higher quality. 3rd st. more tourist & more targets.
Both run about $1600 for a small studio apt on cragislist. About the same for Airbnb.com, although these come pre-furnished and you can stay without a lease, while scoping out your 1 year rental.
Sure you can live in the middle of town, but a pad near the coast is where you will get the best logistics for pulling back home without a cab ride. You will pay a few hundred dollars a month more for this convenience, but it's worth it.
