Short-term Rental Permit #231206
The perfect beach holiday awaits you in this 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom end-unit condo on Rio Del Mar State beach.

Relax in the fresh ocean breeze and watch the frequently passing whales and dolphins. Enjoy the sunset with a breathtaking view of the Pacific Ocean.  Sleep to the soothing sound of the waves crashing on the sandy shore. Wake up to a peaceful ocean sunrise.  Soak up the sun on a beautiful beach ideal for long walks on the sand.

The living room has abundant natural light, amazing ocean views, hardwood floors, sofas, TV and a gas fireplace. Simultaneously enjoy a warm fire, entertainment and whale-watching.

The home features three appointed bedrooms, including one with a luxurious king-size bed, another with a plush queen-size bed, and a third with two comfortable single beds—an ideal setup for a family seeking both space and relaxation.

The elegant kitchen has custom cabinets, granite counters and another gorgeous ocean view window above a large apron-front sink. The well-appointed kitchen has everything you need for preparing gourmet meals including a Viking range fit for a chef, Subzero refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, microwave, various small appliances and plenty of cookware.

This charming and near-perfect condo is not only conveniently situated on the beach - it is also near restaurants and coffee shops with tons local flair!
