Owner's Profile
Year Purchased: 2006
Why the Owner Chose Manuel Antonio
I purchased the property in Tulemar on Christmas Eve two years prior to construction. I found a piece of paradise, in a luxury setting, with an exclusive beach that made you feel like you had just landed on Gilligan's Island. The views were amazing, the homes that already existed were all beautiful luxury homes and all kept in beautiful condition. It was truly a rare find.
The Unique Benefits of this Garden House By The Beach
Whenever you enter the house you relize you have forgotten the unbelieveable view it has ofthe ocean and the sunsets which are so spectaular. The pool has ended up being most amazing, as it was enlarged three times on the plans, as most private pools are not very big in the area. It is also a dark bottom pool. The result is all the guests can swim in the pool at the same time and not feel crowded and it stays warm always. Any time of day or night you can go into it and not feel chilled. Children love it, and two persons, one little, one grown, learned to swim in the pool, just because they love the water temperture, and it is not extremely deep,(about 5 feet in the deepest part and about 4 feet in the shallowest part). It has been a wonderful experience to have been able to build such a wonderful home,that so many people, and families have enjoyed, and who have left with good memories that will last for a lifetime.
