Description Dusk at Bird Rock: San Diego

Panoramic ocean views – visible from nearly every room across both levels – are the defining feature of this Bird Rock house, and they're best enjoyed from the deck where you can fire up the barbecue as the sun dips towards the horizon. There are more of those views inside – the living room faces the water, while an open kitchen with an island makes cooking together tempting. Two blocks from the shore, the neighbourhood is walkable and unhurried, with cafes, restaurants, and boutiques close by – and Calumet Park right across the street.

Home truths:
* The lead guest at this home must be at least 25 years old.
* At full occupancy, two guests will sleep on the sofa bed in the living area.
* There is no air conditioning here – the home relies on ceiling fans in the sleeping areas and locked screen doors to keep things comfortable. The coastal climate is mild year-round, but if you're visiting in a warmer spell you'll want to factor that in.
* You'll find two driveway spaces for off-street parking, with additional street parking nearby if needed. There is no garage.
* There is a noise monitor inside this home, but it only measures decibels and doesn't record audio.
