Right on the Pacific… you can’t get any closer to the ocean than this cozy manufactured home in the most desirable park on the coast. This is a strata mobile home park, so there’s no outrageous pad rent—just a regular strata fee of a mere $117 per month. You own the strata-titled lot on what is undeniably as West Coast oceanfront as it gets. An amazing lifestyle awaits, with a front-row seat to the Strait of Juan de Fuca, frequented by resident killer whales in search of salmon, along with seal-hunting transient orcas. It’s also right on the grey whale migratory route. With world-class salmon and halibut fishing out front and Dungeness crab moments from shore, it’s a veritable West Coast wildlife wonderland. Representing a rare opportunity to purchase true oceanfront at an affordable price, with 270-degree panoramic ocean views offering stunning sunrises and blazing West Coast sunsets. Featuring 2 bedrooms, a sunroom, a separate outbuilding, and perfect positioning on the coastline.&#xD;
