Bright Sunny 3-Bedroom House in Rio Del Mar

Welcome to your coastal retreat in sought-after Rio Del Mar, just minutes from the sand and surf. Ideally located near Hidden Beach and the beloved Hidden Beach Park playground, this bright and sunny 3-bedroom, 2-bath home offers the perfect blend of comfort, space, and beachside living.

Set on a generous 7,000 sq. ft. lot, the home features all main living areas on one convenient upper level, creating an open and airy feel throughout. Natural light pours in across the new wood floors, highlighting the freshly painted interior and the inviting gas fireplace—perfect for cozy evenings after a day by the ocean.

The expansive kitchen and family room are designed for connection and ease, with sliding doors that open to a large wraparound deck- ideal for morning coffee, weekend gatherings, or simply enjoying the coastal breeze. In addition to three well-sized bedrooms with updated closets, you’ll find a dedicated office space, perfect for working from home, creative projects, or quiet study.

Step outside and discover even more to love. Behind the lush back hedge is a flat, usable lawn ready for play, entertaining, or gardening. After a beach day, rinse off in your private outdoor shower before relaxing in your own backyard sanctuary. The home also offers exceptional storage throughout, including built-in cabinetry, a convenient shoe shelf, and thoughtful extras like a counter oven and additional storage cabinets to keep everything beautifully organized.
