About This Home

As of August 2025

Location, location, LOCATION... live the dream! Just blocks to the beach, and a half-block to Mission Bay, Fanuel Park, and the scenic Sail Bay boardwalk, this stunning top-floor 2 bed/2 bath condo offers the best of coastal San Diego living. Just inside you'll discover a quiet interior unit with beautifully remodeled kitchen, two spacious primary bedrooms with remodeled ensuite bathrooms, and in-unit laundry... all in an elevator-served third-floor setting. Head up to the rooftop deck to take in unforgettable sunsets, peek ocean views, and front-row seats to SeaWorld’s summer fireworks. But wait, there's more: TWO dedicated parking spaces—one in the garage and one in the driveway—are an incredibly rare bonus this close to the sand. Short-term rentals currently allowed! The gated 8-unit, self-managed building offers added privacy and a close-knit community feel. Sailing, volleyball courts, boat rentals, the Catamaran Resort, and more are a whisper away. Plus, you’re just minutes from SeaWorld, downtown, the airport, the world-famous Zoo, Petco Park, and the vibrant Gaslamp District. This is your chance to live the Bay life in one of San Diego’s most coveted neighborhoods! HOA is self-managed; Utopia handles financials.
