OVERVIEW

The eye is drawn to the unique details – the art works and the unusual elements like beaded chandeliers and stylish table lamps made of seashells. The absolute attention to detail is obvious in that the electrical outlets, smoke detectors and air-conditioning vents are painted to blend in with the walls, floors and ceilings. Adding the finishing touch to this beautiful villa are the breath-taking views of the Pacific Ocean.
