Come on over to the bayside! This classic four-bedroom home is steps from the bay and across the boulevard from the beach. A wrap-around patio with bay views, a living room and a spacious family room, three car garage parking, large brick patio and updated bathrooms make this rental an ideal home away from home.
The front living room has a wicker couch and two side chairs, coffee table, fireplace and plenty of windows to take in bay views. In the corner, a glass topped table with seating for four is great for meals or games. The adjacent dining room has an oval table to seat eight, and more bay views! On the other side of the pass-through window, the compact kitchen has a microwave, dishwasher and plenty of cabinet and tile counters for storing and preparing meals. A coffee and wine bar provide the perfect place to make a refreshing drink to enjoy on the patio. Step down one step into the large family room with wicker couch and loveseat, a side chair, TV and a ceiling fan. Sliders here open to the brick patio to expand indoor living space.
In the hallway, a newly remodeled full bath with cool claw-foot tub and a separate walk in shower provides easy access for “fresh from the beach” showers via a side door. A laundry room just off the kitchen has a full size washer and dryer and entry from the brick patio.
The home includes four bedrooms, all on the second floor. A king bed graces the bay view master bedroom with en- suite bathroom featuring custom tile work and a walk-in shower. The room also has a futon and desk with chair. The second bedroom has a king bed, the third bedroom, two twins. You can sneak a peek-a-boo view of the ocean from the corner of this bedroom. The last bedroom is ideal for the kids with a twin over a full bed and a queen bed, a flat panel TV and has an ensuite bath with walk in shower that's also accessible from the hall.
The huge wrap-around patio on Bay Avenue has tables, chairs, an umbrella and calming bay views. Grill family favorites on the back patio with easy access to the kitchen. Sharing meals together while watching sailboats on the bay or enjoying beverages under the stars will make your time at the beach unforgettable.
The garage has space for three cars and a Tesla "home charger."
Ten-acre Marina Park, four blocks away, with The Lighthouse Restaurant, an outdoor fitness circuit, basketball courts and picnic area allows visitors to soak up city and bay views. The kids can visit the playground with mini-lighthouse and run through plenty of grassy space. The elementary school is close by as well on the oceanfront. Kids will love the playground, accessible to visitors when school is not in session.
Balboa Village is about fifteen minutes away on foot, but worth the trip. Visit Harborside in the historic Balboa Pavilion for amazing views and unbeatable happy hour deals (try the fried calamari!) every day, or seafood in the bayfront dining room. Other locals favorites are Cruisers, Newport Landing and casual Great Mex. Take the ferry to explore Balboa Island and its many boutiques and eateries or rent a bike and pedal the bike path (boardwalk) to access the entire Peninsula.
The area offers boundless options for family fun!
