About this house rental
This magnificent custom designed home - The Sea Sanctuary - is situated just a hundred yards from the sand with 180 degree whitewater views. A seal colony can be found 1/2 mile to the south and exceptional tidepooling can be found within another 100 yards. A bike/walking trail runs along the ocean as well. Enjoy a solitary walk along the beach - in fact you could walk for miles and miles in secluded exploration of beach and sandy dunes. Radiant floor heat and a fireplace can make this rental extra cozy in the winter. And the insulating concrete form construction keep the house pleasantly cool on warmer summer days. Elevated decks both front and rear allow for enjoyable outdoor living as well. A Jacuzzi-brand hot tub sits on the front deck from which you can watch and listen to the ocean's roar, see the pelicans glide by, and at night watch thousands upon thousands of stars.
The home provides a wonderful holding space for many kinds of groups including:
- friends looking for a place to get away to to have quality time hanging out, playing games or going on adventures
- multi-generational groups who need ease of safe beach access (no cliffs, just an easy stroll down to the sand) and easy outdoor distraction to help keep kids off their "devices."
- families looking for easy time together on holiday where great meals can be shared, board games/puzzles can be enjoyed and easy relaxing outdoor time is readily available.
To take advantage of the 180 degree view, the main living area in the house is on the 2nd floor, including the master bedroom, kitchen, living room and den, all with gorgeous bamboo floors. The window seat - the most popular spot in the house - is great for intimate conversation or reading a book (the house has a great library by the way). The wall-mounted flat screen TVs (upstairs in the den off the living room and downstairs in the larger open room are both roku enabled for connecting to your favorite store,ing services. The double doors on the den close, keeping the viewing noise from infiltrating the peacefulness of the rest of the house. One or two people can sleep privately on the den's new higher end memory foam pull-out sofa sectional.
A gourmet custom granite and bamboo kitchen with double oven, All-Clad Cookware, dishwasher, Kitchen Aid mixer, InstantPot, VitaMix blender, 4-slice toaster, drip coffee maker plus french press, pressure cooker, salad spinner, pizza stone, baking pans and sheets, serving platters, and other kitchen items make cooking or baking a joy for small or larger groups.
Downstairs, you enter through the slate entry area to find a photography gallery/carpeted open yoga/exercise area which includes a second new high-end memory foam sleeper sofa sectional for yet another sleeping spot if needed. It's also a great place for kids to play if you want them to have their space separate from the rest of the group. The primary downstairs bedroom has a wonderful view facing out to the ocean. The Japanese-style tatami room, with a flooring of 2" thick traditional tatami mats serves as a wonderful bedroom as well. The sliding shoji screens with laminated rice paper close off the room and an additional sliding external curtain provides an additional degree of privacy.
The Sea Sanctuary is truly a beautiful home which can help to make your vacation by the sea very relaxing and extra memorable.
To sum up, there are many sleeping options:
Upstairs
- Bedroom - California king bed
- Den/TV room - Queen size new memory foam pull-out sleeper sectional sofa. Roman blinds drop over the grass double doors to provide privacy
- Fireplace nook off the living room (not a private space) - queen futon w extra cushion topper
Downstairs
- Bedroom - queen bed w memory foam topper
- Tatami Bedroom - queen bed memory foam mattress
- Yoga/exercise/play area - (open common area) - new high end queen sofa sectional memory foam sleeper; small single futon, and another folded up frameless queen futon pad stored under the single futon
The home is lived in for part of the year by the owner. You'll find the refriegerator cleared out completely except for one pull out drawer which contains some perishable food . The benefit from this is that the kitchen is extremely well stocked. The step-in pantry (with 2 full shelves kept clear for your use) has items which might prove useful to you if you need a pinch of this or that in preparation of your own gourmet meals. A large drawer of well labeled spices awaits as well.
A lot of love and care has gone into the design, construction, furnishing and maintenance of this wonderful home.

Room enough for all seven of us. The location could not be better, and we were blessed with absolutely lovely weather.

The Sea Sanctuary exceeded our expectations, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to spend a summer holiday with our family. Stunning views, a gorgeous property with thoughtful touches that made it easy for us to feel at home during our stay. We highly recommend this property and would happily stay here again.
