If you want to open french doors from your living room and two of your three bedrooms out on to an absolutely fabulous private tropical back yard and deck with sunken spa, you will love Spyglass House. You can turn the other way, and have your morning tea looking through a bay window at the ocean only one block away.

You can also enjoy the ocean view while you barbecue on your front patio. If you can find it, and I will help you, there is a secret trail to a neighborhood deck over crashing waves, one block from your front door. Another hidden trail winds below a beautiful park/playground to a tiny beach just a few blocks away. Plus there is another park on the water's edge to sit and watch the sunset one just a block away.

Spyglass House has three bedrooms (one king, one queen, one double),and two and a half baths. It has a, wood burning fireplace with gas starter, spa, garage with opener, washer/dryer, cathedral ceiling in living room, equipped modern kitchen, color cable tv's. and high speed internet.
