Welcome to 6512 Surfside Ln, a private coastal retreat tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac just steps from the beach. This home bottles up the best of Southern California living, where mornings begin with peaceful shoreline walks and evenings end with unforgettable sunsets. With a private ADU set up on the first floor, this is a perfect option to deliver either short term or long term rentable income opportunities, this is an exceptional value for those who may be seasonal owners as well as the financially savvy owner.
At the heart of the home is an expansive rooftop patio designed for both relaxation and entertaining. Enjoy morning coffee or meditation, work from home under a pergola, host BBQs, or unwind by the fire pit as the sun sets. The views are truly exceptional, spanning the Pacific Ocean, panoramic Carlsbad vistas, and seasonal highlights like the Flower Fields in bloom. You’ll also have a front-row seat to Legoland’s summer fireworks and 4th of July celebrations.
Perfectly positioned, the home offers easy access to Carlsbad Village to the north and the vibrant dining scenes of Leucadia and Encinitas to the south, along with nearby access to the Coaster train, I-5, and everyday conveniences. World-class beaches, the Encinitas Botanic Garden, and local attractions are all just minutes away.
With added potential to create a rooftop garden or spa retreat, this is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle defined by privacy, convenience, and coastal beauty.
