Peaceful Treehouse with Ocean View
Featured by Sunset Magazine as a “chic escape.” Inside, mid-century furniture and architectural details are made of natural materials like wood and stone setting a calming, sanctuary tone throughout.

Please note that during the winter months, our 1960s artistically unique treehouse may get chilly. H
