Feel free to help me in the garden or join me for an outside evening barbecue. While I’m always trying to be here for my guests, it is always your choice how much privacy you want. The ocean is just down the hill and a short 3-minute walk will take you to a tranquil beach where you may chance upon an eagle fishing, a family of Orca’s on their way to their rubbing beach, dolphins playing a game of catch-me-if-you-can or seals popping up like curious onlookers.
Because we live so close to nature we are very aware of our impact on our surroundings. Taking care of the environment is important to us and we are continually working toward minimizing our effect on our surroundings.
