Steps away from the beach, this home has large living room windows that look out onto the deep blue Pacific Ocean. Take a seat with a good book and soak in the view, or go down to the second and third floor balconies for some fresh sea air with your morning coffee.

We love how the cutouts in the kitchen blend the space together with the living room for a more social atmosphere. Unwind after sandy days in the comfortable bedroom, and wash up in the pastel blue tiled bathroom. You’ll be in a great location for exploring this wonderful stretch of coast – the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium is just a four-minute walk, while the sprawling Angel Gate Park is only fourteen minutes away. By car, you can visit Long Beach in fifteen minutes or Redondo Beach in thirty. And if you’d like to explore the beautiful island of Catalina, San Pedro has a ferry station just ten minutes away by car from home.
