Welcome to Mandalay Shores, a beach community known for great waves, miles of beaches, stunning sunsets and an idyllic lifestyle where outdoor activities abound. Four spots back from the sandy shores of Mandalay Beach, this coastal condo makes a great full-time home or weekend getaway. Filled with convenient features, this is a well-kept property to enjoy right away.The 'penthouse' of the building, 5463 Driftwood stretches over the garages, meaning there are no downstairs neighbors. Once up the private exterior stairs that lead to the home, there is a modern Dutch Door entry, which allows cool ocean breezes to fill the space. A great-room style kitchen, dining and family room have mountain views, natural light, soaring ceilings and a large balcony. Two bedrooms and two baths are on the same level, one with its own northwest-facing balcony. There is an efficient bonus of a laundry area in the hall bath with room for full-size appliances. Upstairs is a spacious flexible space, currently styled as an office and family room. With ocean views, this could also make a primary or guest sleeping room. With its west and northwest exposure, this home is bright throughout the day, and its views include the ocean, Channel Islands, and the famed Topa Topa mountains of Ojai, where the breathtaking 'Pink Moment' is a visual treat as the sun sets. In the cooler months, waking up to see snow capping the Topa Topas is a special surprise, something unexpected from a home so close to the beach! On the ground, there is a single-car garage and a dedicated parking spot on the end, with plenty of room to store beach toys, boards, and more. The BBQ patio next to the parking spot is reserved for this unit. Ask about the possible golf cart inclusion! This home is well-located with the beach proximity as the main act. Other highlights include: newer windows, freshly-painted building, recently-refreshed patio decks and staircase, hard-surface flooring ideal for the beach, kitchen with durable and upgraded counters and rich wood cabinetry, updated light fixtures inside and out, close proximity to the Channel Islands Harbor, Seabridge Marina and the award-winning olol'koy Beach Park.

Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1978, this property has undergone various updates, including newer windows, fresh paint, refreshed decks, and hard-surface flooring in main living areas. However, the kitchen features traditional wood cabinetry and older white appliances, along with dated tile flooring, indicating that its last significant renovation was likely 15-30 years ago rather than recent. The bathrooms also present with similar traditional wood vanities and tile, appearing clean but stylistically outdated. While the home is well-maintained and move-in ready, the core functional areas (kitchen and bathrooms) show signs of being outdated in style and features, and the absence of central air conditioning further contributes to this assessment.
Pros & Cons

Exceptional Beach Proximity: Located just four spots from Mandalay Beach, this property offers immediate access to a vibrant beach community, outdoor activities, and stunning sunsets.
Panoramic Views: Boasts impressive views including the ocean, Channel Islands, and the Topa Topa mountains, providing a picturesque backdrop and abundant natural light.
Enhanced Privacy: Positioned as the 'penthouse' over garages, this unit benefits from no downstairs neighbors, ensuring greater privacy and reduced noise.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Living area discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing living area = 1324, other record living area = 994.
Significant Association Fees: A monthly association fee of $501.0 represents a substantial recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
Building Age: Constructed in 1978, the property's age, despite recent cosmetic updates, may suggest potential for older underlying infrastructure or systems not explicitly mentioned as upgraded.
Absence of Central Air Conditioning: The description highlights reliance on ocean breezes and a Dutch door for cooling, implying a lack of central air conditioning, which could be a comfort concern during warmer periods for some buyers.
