This two-story happily situated beach house boasts a large airy reception room with glass sliding doors leading on one side to a sunny Spanish inspired patio with a water feature marble fountain. On the other side, the glass doors lead to a tropical garden, large outside dining area and a swimming pool.

There are many species of birds that visit the surrounding garden, including humming birds and Parakeets. Small monkies have also been known to pay a visit. The garden contains a variety of orchids and fruit trees (including Coconut, Mango, Custard Apple, Star fruit/Carambola and kumquat trees).
