Location Location! This 3 bedroom 2 bathroom home is among the sought after Rio Del Mar beach-front homes on the "Island".

Upstairs is the other full bathroom and three bedrooms with a deck.
Rio Del Mar Beach: View the dolphins and seals swimming up and down the ocean during the strolls on the beach. Bring your binoculars for whale watching! Other activities include boogie boarding, surfing, swimming, sea shelling, and building sand castles. It is the perfect playground for everyone!
