What Makes Us Green
Villa porch

The Villa is a spacious and private one bedroom, one bathroom retreat from the world. Gaze out at the fantastic views from your perch on the wide veranda. Take a dip in the pool and revel in the sun, wind, view, and sounds of nature. The garden overflows with life and color, and a constant ocean breeze rustles its leaves.

The spacious living room comes complete with a case full of books in which to lose yourself. Original artwork adorns all the walls, making sure your eye always has something pleasing to see. And two sliding glass doors open from the living room onto the veranda, bringing in the sounds of the ocean and cool breezes.

 

In the bedroom lies a plush queen-sized sleigh bed. You can go directly from the bedroom to the veranda, thanks to a third sliding glass door.

Topping it all off, the fully-equipped circular kitchen comes complete with a full refrigerator, gas oven and range, and an elegant table for four.
