Between the sound of ocean waves and the glow of nightly sunsets, this La Selva Beach home has been the heart of countless memories. Its location near the sand, playground, library, clubhouse, basketball courts, and corner store makes every day feel like a seaside getaway. Nearly completely remodeled in 2000, the home opens beautifully for gatherings, with high ceilings, an inviting great room for dinners and board games, and multiple decks where ocean views take center stage. There is a bonus room downstairs that guests enjoy when coming by for a weekend. The wraparound main deck is a favorite spot, perfect for watching the sky change colors as the waves roll in below. Just beyond the yard, a private path leads to the beach gate and the wide stretch of sand that has hosted surf lessons, bonfires, and long evenings by the water. Children love the play loft, offering a hideaway within earshot of the fun. Beloved by its owners for its natural light, beachside setting, and close community, this home reflects everything special about life in La Selva Beach, including easy connections, radiant sunsets, and friendly neighbors.
