Welcome to 357 McCarthy Avenue, a licensed vacation rental just half a block from the beach in Oceano's coastal neighborhood. This flexible property is designed for true beach living, with a layout that lets you enjoy it as one full home or functionally as two separate units so you can live in one and rent the other. Upstairs, you'll find bright, open living with a comfortable great room and fireplace, a sizable kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom, all oriented to capture coastal light and sea breezes. A large second-story patio leads up to a third-story viewing deck, an ideal spot for sunrise coffee and sunset ocean views over the dunes and shoreline. Downstairs, a second living room and second kitchen offer its own entrance with a fireplace, two full bathrooms, backyard space, and direct garage access, creating a natural separation of space for guests or tenants. This configuration makes it easy to occupy the upper level as your personal beach home while continuing to operate the lower level as a rental, or to rent the entire residence as one larger vacation property. 357 McCarthy sits on an approximately 4,140 sq ft lot and offers about 2,218 sq ft of living area, with a 3-car garage providing excellent parking and storage for beach gear and longer stays. With its licensed vacation rental status, flexible two-unit-style floor plan, and unbeatable proximity to the ocean, this property is ideal for investors, second-home buyers, or anyone who wants to blend coastal living with strong rental potential. Come experience 357 McCarthy Avenue and imagine how you'll enjoy living at the beach while your property works for you.
