For the "grill master", both a Weber charcoal barbecue and propane grill have been provided. Chaise lounges, dining table, bench seating and shade umbrellas all invite guests to enjoy the warm sunshine and beach activity from sunrise to sunset. This side of Rincon is a bit rocky so low tide uncovers amazing sealife, making tidepooling a great activity for the whole family. During certain times of the year, if the surf is high, the amount of sandy beach in front of the house may vary but guests can load up the vintage "Radio Flyer" wagon with a picnic and provided beach toys and walk down the lane to the other side of the Point. Sit back, relax and watch the beach activity from this great spot in paradise, or grab one of the boogie boards or surf boards provided and paddle out! As the Beach Boys say, "...catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world!" POLICIES Summer Season rates are in effect for Thanksgiving Week & Christmas Weeks.
