This property presents a rare opportunity for investors, second-home buyers, or full-time residents seeking resort-style living with income potential. The community is one of only three condo complexes east of El Camino Real that permits short-term vacation rentals without an owner-occupancy requirement, making this an especially attractive opportunity in the Carlsbad market. Located on the first floor, the residence features a bright, open-concept layout with sliding glass doors opening to a private patio with outdoor dining space. The remodeled kitchen includes stainless steel appliances, breakfast-bar seating, and an easy flow into the living area.

The spacious bedroom includes a king-size bed, Smart TV, and direct access to the en-suite bathroom with a shower, large vanity, closet space, and barn-door privacy. An in-unit washer and dryer combination—an uncommon and desirable feature within the building—adds convenience and rental appeal. A separate half bathroom near the kitchen is ideal for guests. The condo is offered fully furnished and ready for immediate use, providing a true turnkey ownership opportunity. Existing professional vacation rental management through Haustay is also available for buyers seeking a seamless transition. Additional amenities include reserved underground garage parking, elevator access, secure building entry, a heated community pool, BBQ area, and high-speed internet.
