Private Ocean View Home - 5 minute stroll to beach | House in Pacific Palisades

Welcome to Casa Castellammare, your private seaside getaway that's not too far away. Nestled in the coveted Castellammare area of Pacific Palisades, this light and casually elegant hillside home is just a 5-min walk to toes in sand and a 10-minute drive to Palisades Village, Santa Monica or Malibu. You’ll be greeted with keyless entry into your private home where fresh flowers, fruit, coffee and wine welcome you in.
Fall asleep and awake to the sea with true indoor/outdoor living in thoughtfully appointed and welcoming home. Ocean views on every level inside and out––3 outdoor spaces, 1 with ocean view shower & soaking tub. Exposed-beam ceilings, teak floors, fast Wi-Fi & thoughtful, high-end touches throughout. Fully stocked chef's kitchen with high end stainless steel appliances (Wolf stove, Fisher/Paykel fridge with filtered water, Miele dishwasher, Meile washer/dryer, Vitamix blender, Juicer, Nespresso coffee maker and frother), Wolf toaster, electric kettle and comfortably stocked laundry room and pantry.
Expansive ocean view Primary Suite (with ocean views from your king bed and direct access to spa deck). Guest bedroom (with reflective ocean view and direct access to sky deck). Both spaces offer closet and dresser space, robes, slippers, fluffy white towels and soft linen sheets, plus personal bath products, blow dryers, flat iron, clothes steamer, travel sewing kit and other amenities. We’d say just bring your toothbrush, but we got that too just in case you happen to forget yours.
We feel like we're on vacation every day and you will too whether you're here for work or play, so relax and let the coastal breeze in. This is my home, curated just for you, so say yes to coastal bliss. Robes and slippers await. Private masseuse & chef on request.
HOUSEKEEPER - $200 weekly cleaning required (except final week which is already covered in your reservation) for any bookings of 1 month or longer, paid directly to housekeeper at time of service.
OK, GREAT, BUT HOW DO WE GET TO THE BEACH! :)
It's just a 5-min walk down our quiet street and across a footbridge over PCH (Pacific Coast Highway)...and yes, we timed it! Closer to a 10 min walk back due to slight incline on way home. Inside garage, there are backpack beach chairs, oversized beach blanket (1), mask, fin, snorkel sets (2) and beach towels (4) along with carryall tote. There's also an insulated picnic basket/carrier should you want to make a day of it.

SECRET STAIRS
You'll find these interesting and historic stairs (built in the 1920's) scattered throughout the neighborhood (including a couple on our street!). Take a walk with our Secret Stairs book and check out the history of our beloved coastline enclave.
