The outdoor space is a true oasis:
We have a delightful hammock garden where you can unwind and soak in the beauty of the surrounding nature. Perfect for a do nothing day of relaxation.

We supersized our shower making it the perfect touch of luxury after a beach day and a fun and convenient feature for families on the go.

Our "decked out" deck abounds with flowers, herbs and veggies and a variety of plants. It also features an instagram worthy mosaic table made by a local artist that is the perfect backdrop for your morning coffee guaranteed to make your foodie and cocktail snaps look fantastic.
The pesticide free yard has an abundance of well established rhodedendrums (some taller than the house!) that provide privacy and greenery year round. And if you are lucky enough to be here when they are blooming (late May/early June) you will be surrounded in gorgeous pink hues! The front of the house is landscaped with roses, hydrangeas, cat mint, lillies, lavender, iris and local grasses. There are raspberries and blueberries free for the picking in the side yard.
We have tried to make our yard bee, bird and small animal friendly. As such you may find many small visitors during your stay, including friendly squirrels or even turkeys! Other regular visitors include a bunny family that enjoys munching the plants of their choice and a large variety of birds that visit daily. In fact this year we watched a family of chickadees take their first flight and even got to hold one (see our insta for the kid’s awe and excitement!) Feel free to toss peanuts to any of the small visitors in our yard - they love it and will reward you with hours of entertainment.
Interior Details:
You'll have access to the entire house - with the exception of two rooms. One room is our bedroom (don't worry we won't be there!) where we store our personal belongings and the other is a room off the side of the house (it has it's own entrance). We own and operate Speakeasy Travel Supply and that room is an overflow storage space for our fabrics and is closed off to guests. No one will be there during your stay.
There are no stairs to get into the house and no stairs within the house. The only stairs are off the deck which you do not need to use as the backyard is accessible from the front yard as well. The deck is accessible through the dining room and there are no stairs between those spaces. Please note - even though there aren’t any stairs to climb to get in, the home was not built to ADA code and has standard width door openings. The outdoor shower requires a step to get into.
Much of our home has been remodeled in the past year with a global style and an emphasis on sustainability. You'll find cork and eucalyptus flooring throughout, new appliances, low VOC paint and custom fabric touches through the house.
