LUX! Steps to Moonlight Beach, Dynamic Ocean Views, Spa, Waterfall, Fire Pit, AC

Set directly across from the main entrance to Moonlight Beach, this modern coastal home is just a few footsteps from the sand with no stairs to navigate. The home sits at an elevated angle with panoramic views of white-water waves, surfers, volleyball courts, playground activity, bonfires, and sunsets. (But it's quieter then other nearby houses.) The property includes oversized, private, fully fenced outdoor living areas and contemporary interior finishes. Large glass openings connect the interior to the outdoor space, and the home is equipped with central A/C and heat.

Floor Plan:

This is a luxury, custom, contemporary beach home with two large, full levels designed for comfort, views, and indoor-outdoor living. Ocean and beach views are visible from multiple rooms, including the main living areas and first-floor family room.

The first-floor family room opens directly to the entertainers dream yard through a full glass wall and includes a large sectional sofa, 80 inch mounted TV and musical equipment and game. This level also includes a kitchenette, access to 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, the laundry room, and the garage. Perfect for the kids and teenagers to have their own space.

Upstairs, the huge, bright great room included living room, modern kitchen and dining area; sectional seating, an electric fireplace, a mounted TV, and access to an large outdoor deck with seating and Evo/BBQ grill and a pass through window/bar to the kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling windows face the beach, allowing views of the sunset, shoreline, playground, volleyball courts, and ocean activity.

Two bedroom are located off the main living level. The primary bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom, access to private office and access to the deck. Also on this floor is a additional gust bathroom and bedroom with an Italian-made murphy bed - or it can be used as an extra office or gym with Tonal Machine (Membership needed) - but free weights, bench and light equipment is provided as well as a massage table.

Outdoor Areas:

Both outdoor areas are beach-facing and fenced, providing separation from foot traffic while remaining visually connected to the beach.

Outdoor spa that seats 10 is positioned to face the ocean

Multiple waterfall features

Large, linear fire pit with surrounding seating for 8

Expansive shaded area

An Evo Grill (flattop grill -simultaneously sear, sauté, and toast, much like a teppanyaki table. )

Outdoor shower

BBQ / grill downstairs

Surf and beach gear available in storage shed



Location & Walkability:

Across from Moonlight Beach’s main entrance, playground, cafe, etc

Short walk to sand with no stairs or bluff

Two blocks to Highway 101 / Main Street

Walkable to shops, cafés, restaurants, and the train

Easy access to Del Mar, Carlsbad, and central San Diego

A car is not required for daily activities.


Why This Home vs. Others Nearby:

Elevated sightless that look over beach activity rather than into fencing or foot traffic or bland ocean views high above the bluff which are dark at night

Bluff homes look great in photos, but they are not accessible to the beach, have difficult parking some don't have great fencing.

From this house, you can softly see and hear the waves but the bluff houses are too loud to get a good nights sleep.

Private, fully fenced outdoor entertainment area, which is uncommon this close to the beach

Direct indoor–outdoor connection via full glass walls from main living space

Great open floor plan in a double lot with plenty of space for large groups.

Combination of spa, waterfalls, fire pit and grill in one outdoor setting

A/C and heat, which not all nearby beach homes offer

Views into the most active section of the beach, including courts, playground, fire pits, playground, beach rentals, cafe , picnic tables, grassy area, pickelball court and the surf.

Beach yoga and meditation classes and seasonal events

Coastal walking path

Train access to downtown San Diego and Los Angeles


Good Fit For:

Luxury travelers

Families with children

Multi-generational groups

Guests who want beach access without stairs

Travelers who prefer walkable locations and outdoor space

The location and house are beautiful. The cleanliness could be stepped up and the internet is in and out. Other than that, a beautiful property.

Moonlight Gem

We had a wonderful stay at Moonlight Beach. We have been renting different beach houses from Del Mar to Carlsbad for the last decade and we we feel this was the best of all. The house was very clean, well appointed and had a very modern touch. Location to beach was amazing. House had everything we needed, beds were comfortable, amenities everywhere throughout home. Host/owner communication was impeccable. We are a family of 5 with teenagers, the upstairs/downstairs of property was very well set up to be communal, but also allow for separation when needed. Our experience was 10/10. We can’t wait to go back!!
