Sunkissed: 90 Seconds to Beach, Firepit + Privacy Fenced Yard, Gardens

Sunkissed sits high on a bluff above the Pacific Ocean in the secluded hamlet of Pacific Beach, just a 6-min walk or 90-sec drive to the sand. Comfortably apportioned for larger groups or for couples who enjoy more space, this home is ideal for family gatherings. Work remotely on extended stays with a dedicated desk, monitor, and ethernet port providing gig speed internet.

A main floor primary bedroom sports a firm king mattress, expansive drawer space, and walk-in closet so that you can spread out during your stay. Linens are high thread-count cotton for comfort and durability. A 40" Smart TV provides access to cable and popular streaming apps. For guests travelling with infants, there is a changing table, pack-n-play, and baby bath for added convenience. This bedroom opens onto the privacy-fenced back yard and edible garden. When in-season, help yourself to some of the cherries, nectarines, apples, and berries. Dogs and children alike will find plenty of space to play between trips to the beach. An infrared grill allows for summer cookouts while a propane-fueled stone fire pit helps warm those chilly coastal evenings through shimmering copper fire-glass.

The main floor bathroom has a full tub/shower combo with glass door, providing a bright, modern setting while the privacy-screened window opens the room without compromising modesty. Plush white towels, coupled with dual hand showers, help to create a spa-like setting. Just outside in the hallway is a washer and steam dryer stocked with plenty of laundry supplies to last throughout your stay.

The kitchen has place settings for 8, wine and cocktail glasses, and a wide assortment of cooking utensils and bakeware. A durable 11-piece stainless steel cookware set ensures a pristine, professional cooking experience. Appliances include a hand mixer, blender, coffee maker, espresso maker, coffee grinder, and toaster. A dishwasher makes clean-up a snap. We stock the kitchen/pantry with staples, including 20 common spices, flour, sugar, coffee beans, vegetable and olive oil, cornstarch, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla extract, saran wrap, and tin foil. Should you need to make a last minute grocery run, You and I Market in downtown Pacific Beach and the Fresh Foods Market in neighboring Seabrook are local options.

The dining room table seats 6 comfortably with additional seating for 3 at the breakfast bar. A table-level highchair is available for our youngest guests. Partially hidden by the bar stools is a small cabinet which houses board games and assorted reading materials.

A 60" Smart TV graces the corner of the living room, again with access to cable and streaming apps. An electric fireplace illuminates a quartzite facade and travertine mantle, not only providing ambiance but also helping keep the winter chill at bay. Seating options include a couch, loveseat, and chaise with ample room to gather with family and friends.

Four large windows look out onto the expansive lower deck, which boasts a bistro set perfect for a morning latte surrounded by hanging flower baskets. Deck containers sport a series of fresh herbs, including thyme, mint, oregano, parsley, chives, and rosemary. Just off the deck, lavender provides summer perfume while two dwarf apple trees and creeping thyme complete the edible garden.

Back inside, ascending the stairs you will encounter an armoire with spare linens. To the right is the second bedroom, with a queen soft memory foam mattress, ample drawer space, an armoire for hanging clothes, and a desk with computer monitor where you can squeeze in a last-minute work project. A 32" Smart TV again provides access to cable and streaming content. This bedroom opens onto the upper deck, with sectional seating for 6. A deck box allows for storage of personal items, such as a good book and blanket. Our home is located one block in on the bluff, with interrupted ocean views between houses spanning approximately 160 degrees (see photos).

The second full bath is located off this bedroom, again with tub/shower combo, dual hand showers, and glass shower door. Plush towels and plenty of drawer and cabinet space further accommodate your grooming regimen.

Back across the hallway is the third bedroom with a queen medium-firm pillowtop mattress, as well as a Euro Lounger which folds down into a double bed. An armoire and nightstand provide storage space, a 32" Smart TV provides access to cable and streaming, and a balcony offers sunrise views.

"Sunkissed" is obviously a play on the color of the home, but it perfectly describes a Pacific Northwest summer -- including here on the coast. There is another shade named for the region: Grays Harbor. A deep, sulky blue-grey, it mirrors the color of the Pacific during our fierce late autumn storms. Whether your plans include strolling down the peaceful summer shoreline or watching violent winter waves redefine the coastline, we welcome you into our home to share in the beauty of the Washington Coast.
