About This Home

As of June 2025

Turnkey Shell Beach Charmer — Walk to the Bluffs and Ocean Views

Here’s an incredible opportunity to own a turnkey three-bedroom, two-bath home in the heart of Shell Beach! Just a short stroll from the stunning bluffs overlooking Shell Beach and the Pacific Ocean, this beautifully maintained property offers the perfect blend of coastal charm and everyday comfort.

Enjoy a peek of the ocean from the front patio, which features striking natural Mongolian Spring Flagstone and a lovely flower bed that adds vibrant curb appeal.

Inside, original oak flooring runs through the living room and all three bedrooms, while the kitchen and guest bathroom feature elegant travertine tile. The kitchen is both functional and stylish, boasting custom shaker cabinets and tastefully selected granite countertops. Multiple skylights fill the home with abundant natural light, creating a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout.

Just off the dining area, step out onto a cozy covered patio deck—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding with a glass of wine after a walk along the bluffs.

The garage includes stucco-finished walls and a high ceiling, offering plenty of room to add a loft for extra storage. Attached is a versatile workshop or hobby room—ideal for storing surfboards, bikes, or kayaks.

The location is exceptional. A scenic paved pathway along the bluffs provides some of the best views on the California coastline, with grassy areas and benches perfect for relaxing, whale watching, or catching a sunset. Just a block from the Pacific and steps from excellent local restaurants—including the iconic Shell Beach Brewhouse—as well as quaint shops and convenient groceries, everything you need is at your fingertips.

For the active lifestyle, the Pismo Preserve trails are just across the highway, offering hiking, biking, and panoramic ocean views. There’s a bike path along the Trade District and several exceptional parks nearby, including Dinosaur Caves Park to the south and Spyglass Park just blocks to the north—great for surfing, barbecuing, picnicking, or simply enjoying time with family and your pup.

This is coastal living at its finest—don’t miss your chance to call Shell Beach home!
