SURF WITH THE DOLPHINS
Nestled within the Rincon Beach Colony, this casual four bedroom beachfront home affords all the privacy and security of a gated community coupled with some of the most spectacular vistas the Pacific coast has to offer. These panoramic views extend miles up the coast, past the harbor of Santa Barbara, north to Goleta, and west to the Channel Islands.

This home has a simplicity of style that is perfect for the beach and year-round indoor/outdoor entertaining. The spacious kitchen, dining and living room area features picture windows overlooking the ocean, a fireplace with field stone raised hearth and wood mantel and a built-in butcher-block breakfast bar. The expanse of this great room, with vaulted, knotty pine ceiling and large clerestory window, opens through French doors onto the wood decking of the lanai that runs along the side of the home. An open-air shower lends a carefree, tropical feel while providing a practical means of keeping the sand on the beach and out of the house. The laundry is conveniently located at the rear of the porch, near the double-bay garage and motor court.

Three bedrooms and a master provide ample sleeping space for family and guests. Wall-to-wall carpeting in the sleeping areas adds warmth and sound absorption. On the ground level, two bedrooms share a bath and a half, while the other two share a bath on the upper level. A hardwood staircase connects the main and second floors of the home. The master, located on the upper story, has ocean views and is a light space with white walls and carpeting.

This twenty year-old, low maintenance home has clean lines and a weathered, driftwood-style exterior; well suited for its beachfront environment. It is located at one of the premier surfing spots on the West Coast, with fifty feet of sandy Pacific Ocean frontage. So, whether you long to recreate (surf, swim, snorkel, kayak or run) or relax (sit, stroll or watch whales and sunsets), this property is ideal.
