1 bd condo steps from the sand

Mountain View from bedroom window and only steps to one of California’s premiere family friendly beaches. Quick walk to world famous “the Spot” burgers but really, it’s all about the beach, it’s like so close! Walking trails in the wetlands are close too, the kids love exploring there. Carp’s got some cool restaurants too, our favorite is Teddy’s by the Sea. Partly because our dog is named Teddy but food’s pretty good too!

Cute and Cozy Eastside Getaway

This is a totally private studio, 1 bath apartment attached to the back of my house. I’ve installed soundproofing material between the shared wall, so go crazy! Well, not too crazy ;) The apartment space is super cozy and comfortable. The bed back there is actually more comfortable than mine so I'm jealous and you're welcome. AND you have full use of the backyard, including the firepit area and hot tub.
