While this beachfront abode welcomes up to four people, you'll find your real companions are the whales, dolphins and professional surfers that come and go. This home is the place for taking it slow, drinking in the sunrises, and scanning the horizon — all of which are permanently and clearly visible from one of the biggest decks on the beach. Replete with the barbecue and loungers, soaking up the ocean vistas from above.

You'll hardly need to leave the sparkling shoreline, but if you're looking for a break from the mid-day sun, the large living space is bright and roomy, benefitting from white beam ceilings, stylish furnishings and a calming palette of natural wood to make you feel well-rested. Rise and shine with morning coffee on your sun-drenched balcony before exploring nearby Neptune’s Net for a taste of local cuisine, or simply stroll down the two steps to the beach for a blissful day of sunbathing and swimming.

Privacy is paramount here, and you’ll be undisturbed anywhere on site, despite the home’s space and ocean vistas. And if the nights get a little chilly, gather around the fire pit on your private beach spot, toasting marshmallows and sharing stories.
