About this home

A remodeled split-level home with the Pacific right across the street. The living room, kitchen and deck sit on the upper level with a clear view of the water, and the primary suite has its own floor at the top of the house.

Two more bedrooms share a bathroom half a level down: one with a queen bed, one with a bunk (twin over full, with a pull-out twin). Both open to the backyard, which has a hot tub, turf, a grill and a picnic table.

The beach is steps away and the Village's restaurants and shops are a walk. A laundry room by the entry is there for sandy towels.
