Be prepared to open your heart to the Rio Del Mar coastal lifestyle. 126 Venetian Road is the beach house you have been waiting for, with white water ocean views less than 200 yards to the sand. The home features high quality finishes including a flag stone driveway, copper gutters and an elegant wood front door. The open concept living space has access to one of the several decks, making it easy to entertain. Upstairs the unique floor plan allows for privacy in each of the bedrooms and views in two of the three. Step into the master suite or onto the deck to take in views of the ocean and cement ship. Watch the gorgeous sunsets, listen to the waves, or just sit back and relax. Head upstairs to the spare bedroom's private deck to soak in the hot tub and unwind. Best of all, you can leave your car parked the entire time you are here. Walk to the coffee shop, market, or restaurants, and bring your towel and chair to spend the day at the beach. Perfect as a second home or vacation rental.
