Beaches
There are several swimming/surfing beaches within 5 minutes but the nicest is one minute drive at the bottom of the hill where there is a beautiful local beach which is very quite.It has washrooms, rest rooms, showers, Concreted in BBQ`s and tables, and plate washing facilities and parking.It has an old whaling rock lagoon that has filled up with sand and is calm whatever the sea does and warm always too.My young kids always went there as it is so safe. You can walk to this beach in 5 minutes. This beach is good for beginner surfers as it is rarely rough.
The beach is part shaded and part full sun. Adjoining the wharf, there is a regular sandy beach with smaller surfing waves but still not rough.

We are proud to recommend our wedding photographer Mary Sloan. Her web address is www.marysloanphoto.com
Weddings events and corporate
This property is very well suited to weddings and corporate events due to its large wrap around lawns and terraces, and having such a large area under roof [ easily handle 30 - 40 people ] which insures the big day against a rain out. Whilst both houses do suit very well for weddings, it is necessary to decline bookings that need a DJ or a band due to noise problems. Acoustic music or a Hawaiian duo works well. Also Numbers must be kept to 40 people due the limitations that the property automatically imposes. However a group that is certain to be a quite group, we can accommodate 45 people.
Dining
Serenity has indoor dining that will seat 14 on the one large glass table.Also there is outdoor seating for 12 around one large table. There are also additional locations for smaller groups to dine both indoors or our doors. A first class chef can be booked by arrangement, please see the link to Chef Benjamin`s web site here in. All plates and dining table accessories are proper quality and match.

"The Serenity of the Seas is a phenomenal house with an absolutely georgeous view of the Pacific. Although not on a beach, you have such a wide panoramic view that you don't miss it. The location is ideal and the house is best suited for large groups. We had 11 on our trip and with six bedrooms we had ample space. The outdoor pool and grill are a big plus as well as a large outdoor dining table. As for relaxation there are plenty of pool lounges and even an outside Bali bed to relax in the shade and enjoy. One of the best services for us was that provided by the Caretakers (Nion and Patty). We didn't expect them to even be there, but they were instrumental in making our trip enjoyable. We had a couple of minor problems with pests and Nion was quick to take care of and get a service out. Patty is also a top notch concierge, so we were able to book all of our excursions through her without having to leave the property. She does a phenomenal job! We'd highly recommend this property for families or large groups traveling. You won't be dissapointed with the location and service. Dan D., Rocklin, CA, 7.6.09" Posted 8/31/2009 |

"Aug8-13,2009 Dear Melissa and Charles, This house was absolutely perfect for the ideal fairy tale Hawaiian wedding. We had guests from Iowa, Alaska, New York, and Virginia. The Palm trees down in the lawn area leaned together to form the perfect heart backdrop for the ceremony. The second house down below was a great place for the younger set to have fun in the pool and keep this place as a quiet refuge for the adults. Thanks for the pool table, it was well used. Thanks for sharing this wonderful place in paradise! The Jensen Family and The Halterman Family PS Patty and Nion were wonderful! " Posted 9/8/2009 |
