Pebble Paradise

Let’s be clear: this is not a fabulous home, with a great backyard, but a fabulous backyard with a great home. Outside stuns with a waterfall pool, a putting green, fire pit, and luxurious, covered barbecue area. With palm trees and a pink flamingo for company, this is your very own cabana club, minus the beach – and the closest one in Carlsbad is only a short drive away. While the party is undoubtedly underway outdoors, there is certainly no sinking feeling when you step inside. Open plan living keeps the summer air flowing throughout its fresh and modern interior, with wide, glass doors helping to merge spaces together. The living area and bunkbed games room open up right onto the terrace, creating one massive entertainment space. One group might be playing giant Jenga on the patio, while another is splashing about in the warm waters of the sunken jacuzzi, or playing a round of golf, even cheering over a game of foosball. Spoilt for choice of activities, this is a home for an incredible, sociable break and adventure without the need to venture beyond your front drive. In the serene San Diego County, where the West Coast sun shines all day, this is one instance, perhaps, where it’s what’s on the outside, not inside, that really counts.

Home truths:
*The third bedroom and fourth bathroom are found within the pool house, separate from the rest of the home
*Heating the pool and jacuzzi comes at an extra cost to guests per night
*The sofa in the living room can act as an extra bed for one guest
