oceanfront homes

Seaside living spaces

Oceanfront homes are residential properties situated directly on the ocean shoreline, with no intervening land between the property and the water.

The term emphasizes premium real estate value and unobstructed water views: Oceanfront homes in Malibu can cost tens of millions.

Distinguished from ocean-view properties, which merely overlook the water from a distance.
