Oceanview at Encounter—An Elevated Coastal Retreat

Set across two thoughtfully designed levels, this home feels open, calm, and connected to its coastal setting, with ocean outlooks and natural light shaping a relaxed, easygoing atmosphere throughout. The layout balances shared living with well-zoned private spaces, making it ideal for groups who value both connection and retreat.

Upstairs, the main living area opens into a generous open-plan space where the kitchen, dining, and lounge flow together effortlessly. The kitchen is designed for shared cooking, with ample bench space and modern appliances that make meal preparation feel relaxed and social. The dining table invites long breakfasts, family dinners, and evening games with ocean views as the backdrop. Step outside to the balcony, where outdoor dining and a BBQ create a natural extension of the living space. It’s a perfect spot for morning coffee, long lunches, or watching the light change over the water.

On the ground level, a welcoming lounge offers a comfortable place to unwind, whether you’re settling in with a book, enjoying a movie, or winding down after a day outdoors. The primary bedroom is situated upstairs, set with a king bed, ensuite and second balcony that offers a quieter place to pause and take in the view. Downstairs, you`ll find the remaining three bedrooms—two set with queen beds and the fourth offering flexibility for families with a full bunk bed and trundle, which can be set up upon request. The well-appointed family bathroom on this level features a bathtub and shower.

A dedicated laundry, ducted climate control, and a discreet workspace ensure comfort and practicality throughout your stay. Parking is available for four vehicles in the driveway, and street parking may be available for additional vehicles.

Liked: Cleanliness
The house was stocked with everything we could have possibly needed - from coffee pods & milk, alfoil, body wash, tissues, blankets & games.The decor was modern & luxuriously comfortable with a relaxing palette of neutral tones & lovely art.The beds were comfortable & there were R/C split-systems on both levels.By far, the most appealing feature of the house, was the ocean view from the upstairs living area & master bedroom!We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here & would definitely stay again.
