Wake up to a peaceful, private world of your own to the birds singing,and stroll down to the creek where the gentle sound of the waterfalls gives you an escape from everyday life. Enjoy the swimming pool and jacuzzi with spectacular ocean views.
In the evenings relax on the stone terrace with a glass of wine, enjoy a barbeque, and watch the spectacular sunsets over the Pacific Ocean. There are two spacious master suites and 3 additional bedrooms each with it's own bathroom with plenty of other room to sleep up to 14 people.
