KEY Curation Notes

Oceanfront setting with no direct beach access. This 2BR sits perched atop Bird Rock Bluff with panoramic Pacific views and sunsets, but beach access requires a short walk to nearby parks and public entry points; no private stairs to the sand.
Both bedrooms have ensuite bathrooms. The primary king suite occupies the entire second floor with ocean views and a spa-like marble bathroom, while the main-floor queen bedroom includes its own ensuite—a layout that eliminates bathroom negotiation for groups.
Entertainer's deck is the true star. The expansive outdoor space features a gas firepit, built-in BBQ grill, lounge seating oriented toward the water, and enough room for serious al fresco dining; the newly renovated interior flows seamlessly to this space via sliding glass doors.
Chef's kitchen and full in-unit laundry simplify longer stays. The kitchen is outfitted for serious cooking with quality appliances, and the washer/dryer are on-site rather than shared or off-property—a genuine convenience for groups.
Complimentary beach gear and street parking are standard. Beach chairs, towels, umbrella, and boogie boards are provided; street parking is generally available in the neighborhood but on a first-come basis (no guaranteed spot).
