An amazing opportunity for an Airbnb or VRBO investment—or simply your own private waterfront retreat—this rarely available Carlsbad home is tucked away at the very end of a private drive shared with just one other home. This home opens up to sweeping, panoramic views of the Agua Hedionda Lagoon stretching all the way to the Pacific. Set on a nearly 20,000 sq ft lot, it offers exceptional privacy, breathtaking vistas from nearly every room, and direct access to the water—where kayaking, wakeboarding, and unforgettable sunsets can be part of everyday life. The flexible floor plan lives like a single story, with the primary suite located on the main level. Double front doors open to sweeping water views that immediately draw your eye across the open-concept living space. Vaulted wood-beamed ceilings and a stone fireplace add warmth and charm, while oversized sliders lead to a wraparound deck that stretches along the lagoon-facing side of the home—creating a seamless indoor/outdoor connection. The adjacent dining area with a second set of sliding glass doors, flows easily into a modern kitchen outfitted with quartz countertops, SS appliances, and a walk-in pantry. With natural light pouring in, the layout makes everything—from daily routines to entertaining—feel bright, open, and effortless. The main-level primary suite is peaceful and light-filled, with vaulted ceilings, large picture windows, and a beautifully refreshed ensuite featuring a walk-in shower, dual sinks, a vanity area, and a spacious walk-in closet. Downstairs, three guest bedrooms share a full bath and connect to a large, lounge-style living area with direct backyard access—perfect for game nights, movie marathons, or relaxed gatherings. A separate bonus room with custom built-ins adds extra flexibility, whether you need creative space or extra storage. Outside, the backyard is designed to take full advantage of the setting. A spacious stamped concrete patio offers plenty of room to relax or dine outdoors, while a built-in shuffleboard court brings a playful touch. Meandering garden paths wind through native plants, colorful blooms, and mature trees, gently guiding you toward the water’s edge—all framed by breathtaking sunset skies. With no HOA, a solar agreement already in place, and a location just minutes from Carlsbad Village, local beaches, and I-5, this is more than just a home—it’s a lifestyle. A rare chance to own a true waterfront retreat, where every day feels like a breath of fresh air.
