    What's special

    Salt-air breezes and laid-back style define this beautifully reimagined Oceanside retreat just moments from the coast. Recently renovated with a fresh, sun-washed aesthetic, this home captures the essence of beachside living the moment you step inside. Vibrant design, natural light, and thoughtful details create a space that feels more like a private seaside escape than a typical residence. The open living area flows effortlessly into the dining space, where an expansive sliding glass door dissolves the line between indoors and out, inviting in ocean air and golden afternoon light. The upgraded kitchen blends warmth and function with rich wood cabinetry, Corian countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous breakfast island designed for gathering after long days at the beach. Out back, your personal coastal sanctuary awaits. A custom pergola—complete with a mounted TV and oversized fan—sets the stage for relaxed evenings, and weekend get-togethers. Just beyond, a one-of-a-kind horseshoe pit adds a playful touch, perfect for entertaining under the stars. The expansive lot offers rare flexibility, including gated boat or RV parking and ample space to add a detached ADU, creating future income potential or a private guest retreat. With a brand-new roof, gutters, and exterior paint, this home is move-in ready and built for easy coastal living. Ideally located just 1.5 miles from the sand, 168 Carey Rd delivers the lifestyle people come to Oceanside for—sun, space, and effortless Southern California charm. Located in one of Oceanside’s most desirable coastal pockets, this home offers convenient access to the best of North County living. Just approximately 1.5 miles from the beach, you can enjoy morning walks along the shoreline, sunset views, and the relaxed coastal atmosphere that makes Oceanside so sought after. This location provides close proximity to the vibrant downtown Oceanside district, known for its restaurants, coffee shops, local boutiques, and the iconic Oceanside Pier and Harbor. Weekly farmers markets, community events, and outdoor recreation opportunities contribute to the area’s strong sense of community. Commuters will appreciate the easy access to Interstate 5, Highway 76, and the Oceanside Transit Center, offering convenient connections throughout San Diego County and beyond. Nearby parks, golf courses, and bike paths provide abundant outdoor lifestyle options. Oceanside continues to experience significant growth and revitalization, making it an increasingly attractive destination for both homeowners and investors. The property’s generous lot size and potential for an ADU further enhance its long-term flexibility and value.
