Ocean views, steps from the sand in La Jolla.

Vista Del Mar Ave sits in the Beach Barber neighborhood, where the surf is close enough to hear from the rooftop deck. The street has a quiet, residential character, and the sandy beaches are genuinely just steps away — not a figure of speech. The house itself was built in 2012 by architects Bokal and Sneed, and it reads as a considered piece of work rather than a spec build.

Inside, the details are worth slowing down for: arched doorways, divided and view windows, boxed and tray ceilings, handcrafted woodwork, and a river rock fireplace that anchors the living space. The primary bedroom opens onto a viewing terrace with panoramic ocean views. Above it all, an expansive rooftop deck looks out over the water. A private backyard with its own fireplace seating area rounds out the outdoor options.
