555 Vista Del Mar Drive

Nestled above Monterey Bay, 555 Vista Del Mar offers a rare opportunity to make the California coast part of everyday life.

With sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean, the coastline, and the Santa Cruz Mountains, this unique home feels like a private getaway while remaining close to everything that makes Rio Del Mar such a desirable place to live. Located in one of the area’s most sought-after neighborhoods and just minutes from the beach, it is ideally suited to a full-time coastal lifestyle or as a flexible home base for remote work and travel.

Large windows bring the landscape into nearly every room, filling the home with natural light and framing the ocean, sky, hills, and trees throughout the day. The open-concept main level connects the kitchen, dining area, wet bar, and living room in one spacious, loft-like setting designed for relaxed daily living and effortless entertaining — equally comfortable for quiet mornings, casual dinners, and evenings with friends.

Multiple decks create an easy indoor-outdoor flow. Start the day with coffee above the canopy, spend the afternoon at the beach or on a nearby trail, and return home for dinner as the sun sets over the Pacific.

Upstairs, the generous primary suite features ocean views and an oversized tub positioned for sunset soaks. The second bedroom looks toward the peaceful green hills. Scandinavian wood floors add warmth and understated style to both bedrooms.

The approximately 2,100-square-foot main residence is complemented by a detached 250-square-foot bonus studio with ocean views, a half bath, and a private garden area. It is ideal for a home office, art studio, fitness room, workshop, guest space, or quiet retreat for personal projects.

A two-car garage with EV charging and a generous driveway provide ample parking, storage, and space for an active coastal lifestyle.

Surfing, hiking, golf, beaches, restaurants, and local shops are all just minutes away, while Silicon Valley remains within reach when needed.

555 Vista Del Mar is a permanent coastal getaway where the days feel less scheduled, the outdoors is always close, and coming home feels like arriving somewhere special.

Tucked into the garden, next to the main residence, a detached bonus studio with ocean view and half bath offers great flexibility.

The 250 square foot space is a natural fit for a home office, art studio, workshop, gym or guest space. All steps from the main house yet completely apart from it.
