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.
