The Space:

Located on the west side of Highway 1 and offering breathtaking views of the ocean from its entire interior and exterior, this home is secluded and peaceful. You can feel the sense of calm right when you step foot on the property, as the park-like backyard offers a space for kids to play soccer and frisbee. Keep your eye out for wildlife in the wooded area, home to deer, rabbits, and California quail! Best of all, the side yard has a private hot tub that sits on the striking deck, so you will know exactly where to go to view the unmatched sunsets of the West Coast. Don't hesitate to venture out for days of hiking, biking, beach-going, tennis, fishing, canoeing or kayaking, and swimming.



When you find a bit of downtime, the house's interior has an easy, spacious design filled with modern furnishings and tasteful decor. The large dining room has a grand table and chairs with a view of the ocean when mealtimes come around, and the striking full kitchen has you covered when you feel like whipping up anything from a quick snack to a gourmet meal. The living area has a large TV, comfortable couch, and seating for the whole family.

Whale watching season runs from December through April -- grab the binoculars and watch for gray whale spouts from your window.

Morning fog is common along the coast -- it usually burns off by midday.
