In the laid back community of Encinitas, this slick white, ocean front home commands sunset drinks on the patio and endless days at the beach. Huge sliding doors flood the space with light and frame the boundless seascape—there’s no better way to wake up than witnessing the daybreak over the Pacific from the comfort of your bed. Those who fancy themselves a bit of a chef will delight in the gourmet kitchen with Fisher & Paykel refrigerator and sleek stainless steel appliances. After a fresh meal cooked up on the barbecue, take the boogie boards on a five-minute walk to Beacon’s Beach for an invigorating afternoon in the surf. When you return home sandy-toed and sun-kissed, rinse off in the outdoor shower before settling into the comfy rattan couch for a spectacular twilight show as the sky swirls in pink, purple and orange.
