FAQ ~



➤ Can I host an event?

We understand the appeal, but we have a strict no-event policy (including bachelor or bachelorette parties), enforced by our front gate security and HOA. Only guests listed on the reservation are allowed inside the security gates (unless approved in advance), and there are NO PARTIES or gatherings with outside guests. This house is best for families and those looking for peace, quiet, privacy, and relaxation by the ocean - we appreciate you respecting this so everything runs smoothly for everyone.



➤ What do guests enjoy most?

There’s really no place like St. Malo in the world....it feels like you're in a different country because the architecture is so charming. The house itself has prime position on the Buena Vista lagoon, the lush grass meets the water plus you have ocean views on the front side of the house so its just a very special vacation home. To wake up and sip coffee looking at the ocean, or meditate on in the backyard with amazing views, its the perfect place to relax and recharge.



➤ Is the area safe and good for families?

Totally. It’s also great for kids. Our house is in a private, gated community with a full-time guard. The roads are paved, tons of kids (drive slow!). If you have very young children, they must be supervised at all times because the house is lakefront...



➤ Is it good for remote workers?

We have high-speed internet and there's a ton of quiet and relaxing spaces to get work done should you need to...



♥ Meet your host



This house is family vacation home that my grandmother built back in the '70s, and it’s a place very dear to my heart. The energy here can’t be matched outside the gates, its incredibly special. We’re so privileged to be able to share our family’s little slice of paradise with people like you and hope that you feel at home, create lifelong memories, and know that we’ll be here for you at all times to ensure it.



Every detail of our home has been thoughtfully curated with our guest experience in mind....so if you enjoy good old fashioned hospitality, you've found the right place!



Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.

Why they chose this property

Parents bought the property way back in 1957 and built their dream beach "cottage" in 1973. The family rented for a few weeks every summer growing up until we actually had a beach home of our own to share. Certain to provide memories for a lifetime - a location and serene coastal environment you will never forget.

What makes this property unique

Unique gated beach community of French provincial architecture and gardens founded in 1929 - nothing quite like it in on the entire west coast.
