About this property

Large Oceanfront House in Historic Gated Community with Optional Apartment

Enjoy your personal luxury oceanfront getaway located in the exclusive guard gated community of Saint Malo Beach. This charming French Normandy styled community has the feel of a beachside European retreat with old world charm, community beach, volleyball, tennis and pickle ball courts.

This home is a classic French indoor/outdoor house. As you enter, you'll walk through a breezeway to the center courtyard. Four of the six bedrooms can be accessed directly from the courtyard. This includes one bedroom with a king bed and full bath, one bedroom with twin beds and a full bath, and two other bedrooms, one with a queen bed and the other with twin beds. These two bedrooms share a shower bathroom. There is another bedroom on the main floor off of the living room. This bedroom has a queen bed and a shower bathroom. The sixth bedroom is downstairs off of the game room. This bedroom has a king bed and shower bathroom.

In addition to the 6 bedrooms in the main house, an outdoor staircase in the center courtyard leads up to a separate apartment that provides a quiet, private haven of its own. This space has a king bedroom, bathroom with glass enclosed shower and windows facing the ocean, as well as a living room with a sofa bed and kitchenette. The apartment can be added to your stay for an additional cost.

Moving into the main home, you are greeted with high-ceilings in a classic great room with ample seating, wood burning fireplace, game table, large side patio and panoramic ocean views. The open dining room has a large farmhouse table that seats 8-10 guests. There is a gourmet kitchen with a large center island and updated appliances, including double ovens, two full-sized refrigerators, and a separate beverage refrigerator.

Moving downstairs from the great room is a game room with a pool table, flat screen tv, comfortable seating and a gas burning fireplace. The sixth bedroom and a shower bathroom are off of the game room. Walk out the French doors to a glassed-in patio spanning the width of the house. The patio boasts a comfortable seating area under a protective gazebo and a large dining table for al fresco meals. There is a small beach area just steps outside the patio with loungers and umbrellas for soaking up the sun and ocean views. There is also an outside shower.

Our home in St. Malo is perfect for a family getaway or a group gathering. We hope you enjoy!

Perfect family reunion home

It was our second time staying here and we loved it even more this time than the first. We had three generations in the home and every family had their space. The kids loved the sand and the adults appreciated the perfectly stocked kitchen. Thank you for everything, Lela.

The best!!!

We stayed for my nephews wedding in Carlsbad. There were 11 of us. The house is so spacious and unique. The courtyard full of flowers. The ocean breeze and sound of the waves were fantastic. We recommend this wonderful home. We will think of coming back for sure.

Beach Estate

Great house right on the water. We had 4 families stay at this house and had plenty of space to all come together or all go to our private areas. Cute gated community with lots of things for everyone to do: pickle ball, tennis, volleyball, hide and seek and a private beach area.

Stunning views in a comfortable and inviting place

I really enjoyed staying here. This is definitely one of my top accommodations that I've enjoyed- ever! The house was really comfortable, had impeccable style and was well appointed with kitchen items, entertainment and incredible views. The host was kind and easy to communicate with. Beach access was easy and there's excellent outdoor beach-facing entertaining spaces. I'm quite grateful that this family has been kind enough to share this awesome place with guests. :)

Beach bliss

This home was the perfect space for our group. The location is incredible in a very charming neighborhood and right on the beach. Each person in our group had their own bedroom and there was plenty of space for gathering together inside and outside. The kitchen is incredibly well organized (every drawer labeled!) and very well appointed with nice appliances, three types of coffee makers and dual Bosch refrigerators. If you want to gather with friends or family this is an excellent choice. We are already talking about booking again!

Wonderful wedding week

Lela and Nadia were so helpful and kind. The house worked great as a place for family to come and go the week of my sons wedding. Open space for people to relax and the kitchen was glorious. We love to cook and entertain and we had everything we needed to keep the family group happy. Just a few steps away was the cabana and volleyball net which kept the younger ones occupied. Most of the rooms are adjoined and because its an older house, some rooms got colder than others but each room had the perfect amount of glorious bedding and a comforter thickness that suited each bedrooms temp. I love details. We will definitely be coming back. Thank you Lela!

Highly Recommend

We typically stay in St Malo which is a really special community. It is a very safe and secure neighborhood with beautiful scenery to enjoy on walks. We love to walk to the Beach Break for breakfast to kick off the day. There are great restaurants nearby. This house in particular was a lot of fun and perfect for our group celebrating my mom’s 75th. It was comfortable and is right on the beach. There is plenty of room and lots of space to have time to yourself. If you like to cook, the kitchen is amazing. Lela the host was very accommodating to our group traveling from different states and made every effort to accommodate my requests and allow us to maximize our time together. She was easy to communicate with and replies promptly. It was a terrific experience all around and she really went above and beyond.

An oceanfront gem in a storybook setting

The home’s neighborhood of St Malo has history going back to the 1920’s and is rumored to be the first gated neighborhood in San Diego. It is modeled after an old French village and feels like you’ve been transported to another place and time. There are 3rd generation families with prominent last names with homes here. We loved the vibe of the house itself - it is old but not forgotten or left to deteriorate. We spent most of our time at the beach. The kids loved the Sandy backyard and there were lots of toys provided. We also enjoyed walking the neighborhood and admiring each home, the lush landscaping, the bunnies running around, and the various birds such as pelicans and blue herons. There is a private community beach area as well with steps to the beach. During our stay the tide was up so far that there was no beach to walk unfortunately. We were hoping we would be able to walk the beach to Carlsbad and into the village but Mother Nature wasn’t on our side. There were plenty of restaurants nearby and we did a lot of Uber Eats. One thing we noticed is that 90% of the neighborhood was empty. We only saw a couple of people, and the guard occasionally passed in his golf cart. It was remarkable to stay at the beach during a weekend and have it be so calm and quiet. While just up the road in Carlsbad we could see plenty of action. We really enjoyed the peace and quiet. Overall, we’ve never experienced a place like St Malo. Highly recommended!

Like staying at a friends home.

This home is beautiful, warm & inviting. So much character & history in this little community. Kitchen was fully stocked, beds were clean & comfortable as well as plenty of bathrooms & areas to relax & enjoy the ocean which is right out the back door. Wonderful patios & private stretch of sand. I hope I can stay again in the future!
