Escape to one of Southern California’s most exclusive beachfront homes, where breathtaking ocean views, fresh salt-kissed breezes, and the soothing sound of crashing waves create an unforgettable coastal retreat. Located directly on the sand, this beautifully appointed lower-level home features one of the most private oceanfront decks on Beach Road—with no neighboring deck to the left and a privacy wall to the right, offering a level of seclusion rarely found along the California coast. Inside, the open-concept living space combines comfort with spectacular views. The fully equipped kitchen overlooks the dining and living areas, while an entire wall of glass frames the Pacific Ocean, giving you a front-row seat to stunning sunsets, dolphins, surfers, and ever-changing tides. Whether you’re: * swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, or building sandcastles, * relaxing on the deck with your morning coffee, * enjoying an afternoon cocktail while watching the waves, * or simply unwinding to the sound of the ocean, you’ll quickly understand why guests return year after year. At the base of the deck, perched just above the sand, is your private elevated beachfront fire pit—the perfect place to watch the sun disappear behind Catalina Island while roasting marshmallows or enjoying an evening under the stars. No beach vacation is complete without an outdoor shower, making it easy to rinse away the sand before heading back inside. Family Friendly Families are welcome! While the home has not been childproofed, it is best suited for families with older children. Beach Conditions As with all natural beaches, the amount of sand directly in front of the home varies with the tides. During higher tides, the ocean may extend all the way to the seawall, while lower tides reveal a much wider stretch of beach.
