The ocean provides only one stunning feature of the property. The pristine jungle ridge of Escaleras offers our guests a unique backdrop of lush tropical vegetation and close encounters with the wildlife it supports. The sound of monkeys makes for an interesting wakeup call, and there is never a shortage of tropical birds brandishing dramatic colors. Guests can anticipate a distinctive and spectacular sunset every evening no matter what time of year they chose to visit, and when the sun dips down below the horizon a new stage of stars is set. Please keep in mind that a 4x4 vehicle is required within the gated community. Your stay at 180 del Mar will be one of the most memorable of a lifetime. The house was designed, built and finished all by the owner, whose unique vision resulted in three octagonal towers that provide the feeling of a never ending perspective. Two towers house the bedrooms, purposely detached from the main living space to instill a feeling of privacy even when travelling with close family. Each spacious suite offers a distinct and impressive view, with privet terrace, bathrooms feature hot water showers, double sink vanities, and ample closet space. Of the four rooms, three contain king sized mattresses, one with queen sized bed, but upon request can be outfitted with additional beds (full size futon and a trundle twin size) in two of the bedrooms. The main tower of the house will provide everything for your home away from home. The enormity of the living room is only amplified when the accordion doors open expanding the room to the outside veranda and the ever present jungle breezes. Comfortable furnishings and handcrafted wood work give a warm and relaxing feeling as you enjoy the scenery. In the kitchen you will find everything you need; large two door refrigerator, gas range, dishwasher, microwave, toaster oven, blender, coffee maker. Ample counter space, well stocked cookware and utensils make preparing meals easy. The dinning space features a beautiful handcrafted table that seats eight comfortably. There is a large picnic table that seats 10 on the veranda. Facing the ocean, read a book, take a nap, sip on a cocktail from the wraparound is porch, take a dip in the pool. A fully equipped laundry room and powder room round out the features of the home.
