There’s a particular kind of quiet that only exists a few dozen steps from breaking waves, and this southwest-corner residence puts you right in the middle of it, with no unit above and open ocean and beach views stretching from a private balcony through the sliding glass door. Inside, an updated kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a stone backsplash sets the tone for a bright, well-kept home in a building that has aged gracefully since 1974. Step outside and the sand is only steps away, with some of the best surfing in San Diego County right at the doorstep, and a short stroll delivers you to celebrated Italian, Mexican, and seafood dining. Marina Del Mar wraps daily life in resort touches: a heated pool, spa, and sauna, two barbecue and entertaining areas with dressing room and bathroom, elevator access, and coin-operated laundry on every floor. One covered parking space is included, with additional guest parking on-site. Summer here means whale watching just offshore, kayaks, paddleboards, and sailboats within reach, or even a private boat slip in the harbor a few steps from home. Whether the goal is a full-time coastal residence, a weekend escape, or a flexible second home, this unit also comes with an active short-term rental license already in place, opening the door to however an owner chooses to use it. This beachfront gem blends coastal lifestyle, walkability, and resort-style amenities in a location that simply cannot be duplicated. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed. Buyer to verify.
