This home celebrates the surf culture that Mission Bay is famous for. Ocean lovers will love this house, as the beach is just across Mission Boulevard, 100 yards to the west. Settle into the laid-back lifestyle as you open up the second-floor balcony to those sea breezes. The open-plan kitchen, dining room and living space is vibrant and cheerful, with a distinctly tropical theme. Bright pops of colour can be found everywhere in this home, from the characterful wall art to the stylish dinnerware and blankets in the bedroom. Thanks to large windows, the sun shines into this home as much as it does outside. After a morning catching the waves, replenish your energy with a barbecue on the sheltered terrace. The outdoor space is shielded from the neighbours and can be directly accessed from the master bedroom.
