About the host

Hosted by Kathy & Bruce FitzGerald

Host profile image
Our family, from Sunnyvale California, has owned House 5 for almost 50 years. We have passed its care from our parents to the children and soon grandchildren. We all live in the Bay Area and visit the house often.

Why they chose this property

Over the years, we have gathered family & friends here for rest, relaxation and rejuvenation! Our fondest memories include playing games at the dining table ... building sandcastles on the beach ... gathering for the Thanksgiving meal amidst God's incredible creation!

What makes this property unique

The house was designed by Charles Moore and William Turnbull of MLTM / Moore Turnbull. It received one of the 1970 Excellence for Design Awards by Architectural Record.

And to answer a common question ... Yes, it is beach front. There are no houses or structures or fences between us and the incredible Monterey Bay!
