Great oceanfront private home, owner designed and managed, with magnificent oceanfront beach vistas and beach strand. March 2024 brought more sand on our beach from a beach renourishment project. Short walk from home to stairs over the protective dunes to nice broad beach strand. Supplemental pool heat with new heater (March '24), (if needed for modest fee) private pool. Heated pool is open March into November. Over 80% of my renters are repeats, many multiple years. Send inquiries for winter / spring 2025, or for the very few summer weeks which aren't rebooked by multi-year repeats. Digital Nomads welcome through part of the fall/winter/spring. We have high-speed fiber-based internet which can support "work-from-anywhere" and remote learning. It's nice when you take a break or end your work /school day to take a walk on broad beach which you are sharing with only a handful of others.
Beach is open, beach strand is in GREAT shape following a major beach renourishment finished in March 2024.
Re : Pool, Solar blanket and southern exposure (w/new pool heater optional possible very reasonable /surcharge applies) will warm the private pool. Take a short walk over (stairs over) dunes to broad beach. Pelican Watch is named in honor of the brown pelicans who fly by on the updrafts from ocean winds off the dune-ridge along the beach.
