The Pointhouse estate features various nooks and crannies at the waterfront offering private lounging areas and views. Outdoor loungers on the foredeck and comfortable leather chairs/couches to sink into indoors give you other options if the weather is inclement; besides the view from your room these are great spots for bird watching or storm viewing. All accommodations feature sound systems, high-speed broadband internet with Wi-Fi, Apple TV, DVD’s and video library, books, games and puzzles to entertain you the old fashioned way.
Aside from our sleek modern accommodations, guests can enjoy these distinctive services and facilities.
Zen Teahouse Studio
Tucked in a quiet corner of the property accessed by stepping stones through the garden and Japanese pond is the Zen Teahouse Studio. French doors open onto a private patio to make this a relaxing haven for massage or yoga or just peaceful lounging lulled by the sound of the bamboo fountain. It also makes a great writing retreat. Book wellness treatments or private classes with our licensed therapists. Spa practitioners can also visit to offer you lots of options for pampering, health and wellbeing.
Gardens + Grounds
A West Coast Asian fusion garden with rustling bamboo, mossy cushions and arching ferns, incorporates a contemplative zen garden featuring a unique gabion structure. A meandering path winds up a natural rock staircase to a cove viewpoint.
Continue down the rock to land on a small lawn bordered by low stone walls Perfect for enjoying a game of croquet or bocce. Riprap terraces stabilize the slope and conceal components of our septic system with trailing ground covers. Our specialized system serves the whole Pointhouse property.
Aside from the more utilitarian functions, the garden tiers support a few fruit trees and berry bushes. Raised vegetable beds at the Pointhouse Annex garden produce shared bounty for vacationing guests and the B&B in season. Perennial herbs and edibles are mixed in with shrubs, trees and perennials on both properties.
Water Rituals
Each house has its own hot tub. Soak in the views while you relax in the warm water. Marvel at the star spangled night sky unadulterated by city lights. By the Pointhouse, an oceanside deck with outdoor shower allows you to rinse off after a refreshing dip before popping into the hot tub to complete your water rituals. .
Kwéx Pavilion
The 1000 sq ft Kwéx Pavilion with cedar and fir post and beam construction and dramatic winged rooflines is the perfect venue for small weddings or events. Backed by a rocky outcropping, opening to a small lawn and the circular driveway, it houses an outdoor kitchen with BBQ and curved bar area. Croquet and Bocce sets are available for outdoor games. A linear fire pit and overhead infrared heaters provide warmth for cooler evenings. Built-in speakers wired to the state-of-the-art music system can play soothing background tunes.
