Decades ago, someone had the good sense to move this 1930s hunting cabin down from the ridge to where it sits now, closer to the ocean. Our family recently renovated it, and kept what makes it a cabin.
The living area has a fully equipped eat-in kitchen, a wood-burning stove, 43" Roku TV, and a queen sofa-sleeper. The bedroom has a queen bed, its own Roku TV, and a peekaboo view of the ocean. The ensuite bathroom has floor-to-ceiling sea-glass green tile, a teak folding bench, two shower heads, and a built-in niche stocked with shampoo, conditioner, and body soap. All rooms have in-floor radiant heat with individual thermostats. When our neighbors' hens are laying, we leave a complimentary six-pack of farm-fresh eggs for you.
Outside: An acre to yourselves — covered porch, south-facing open deck, BBQ, and propane fire table. You can see the Pacific through the pines. In the morning, pour a cup of coffee and ease into the day with birdsong and sea lions in the distance. Deer, quail, and the occasional fox wander through; Pelican Bluffs and Cook's Beach are a short drive when you're ready to explore.
A few notes: During the day you'll hear Highway 1 (it's a two-lane road), but it quiets down at night. Our neighbors' three Labs may occasionally wander over to say hello; just let us know if you'd like them to head home. The water is creek-fed and triple-ozone filtered, fine for cooking and showering; we stock bottled water for drinking.
This has been our family's place for nearly five decades. We take good care of it, and we're here if you need anything.
