Property is move-in ready.
Although built in 1978, the property is well-maintained and move-in ready. It features a recently remodeled primary bathroom with a modern shower and an updated open-concept kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The interior shows recent cosmetic updates and the home is currently functional as a licensed short-term rental, indicating systems are in good working order.
The property holds a rare Tier 4 Short-Term Residential Occupancy (STRO) license, providing a turnkey opportunity for significant vacation rental income in a high-demand coastal market.
Featuring a spacious 2-car garage and an expansive rooftop deck, this home offers highly coveted conveniences that are exceptionally rare for the dense Mission Beach area.
Soaring vaulted ceilings and an open-concept great room create an airy, spacious feel that maximizes the footprint, complemented by a private patio and outdoor shower for the ultimate beach lifestyle.

Welcome to 737 Whiting Court, where coastal living meets an exceptional opportunity just steps from the sand and iconic Mission Beach boardwalk. Recently issued a Tier 4 Short-Term Residential Occupancy (STRO) license, this property offers the flexibility to enjoy as a personal beach retreat, income-producing investment, or the best of both. Step inside to soaring vaulted ceilings, distinctive stained-glass accents, and an expansive great room filled with natural light. The open, airy floor plan features 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 3rd bedroom is versatile, ideally as an additional sleeping area, home office, or guest retreat. The spacious primary bedroom provides a private escape, while the ground-level bedroom features an en-suite bath and direct access to a private patio with outdoor shower—perfect after a day at the beach. Head upstairs to the expansive rooftop deck, an incredible space for entertaining, relaxing in the coastal breeze, or enjoying morning coffee and sunset gatherings. Lovingly cared for and meticulously maintained, the home also includes a spacious 2-car garage—a valuable convenience this close to the beach. With the sand, surf, boardwalk, dining, cafés, shopping, and entertainment just moments away, this is more than a home—it’s an opportunity to own the Mission Beach lifestyle. Live here, vacation here, rent it when you're away, or enjoy a combination of all three. Open-concept kitchen and living area upstairs, bringing natural light and airy flow — great for entertaining or relaxing after a day by the water. Private upstairs deck (viewing deck) — a serene spot to take in ocean breezes, enjoy sunsets, or host gatherings. Why This Property Stands Out This home offers a rare combination: the convenience and culture of Mission Beach living (boardwalk, beach, water-side lifestyle), with private touches like a loft and deck that many beachside units — often condos or rentals — don’t provide. The reported sqft area does not represent how the home lives. The loft and Rooftop add living space, and the spacious great room and master suite are almost impossible to find in the area. A perfect balance of comfort, flexibility, and lifestyle — whether used as a full-time residence, vacation home, or income property. For buyers seeking a walkable, surf-and-sand lifestyle without sacrificing a traditional home layout, 737 Whiting Court delivers: a “home” rather than just a “unit,” yet still steps from the ocean. During current owners ownership the main bathroom has been been remodeled removing bath tub and replaced with a low maintenance shower. Indoor and outdoor furniture have been replaced with quality Polywood material furniture.
