Tucked below the main house, this guest house encompasses 3,502 square feet, with three bedrooms and five bathrooms.

Plantings around the home are mostly native, featuring colorful blooms and evergreen shrubs that surround the seaside patio, along with mature-growth trees and shrubs extending past the home and into the forest.
