Soak in the cliffside hot tub, swim in the heated pool (optional daily heating), and unwind in beautifully designed outdoor spaces for lounging, dining, and gathering. Fire up the gas grill, enjoy sunset dinners on the terrace, or cozy up by the outdoor fireplace or fire pit under the stars.
Additional Amenities Include:
• High-speed Wi-Fi and smart TVs
• Air conditioning (mini-split systems + sliding glass doors for natural airflow)
• Full laundry room
• Driveway parking for three vehicles
