Where do I start here. It’s one of the most unique, entertaining, versatile, and comfortable places we’ve stayed. It’s like a luxury surf retreat, an event center, and a comfortable lofty home all in one.
We booked this place for a month and Kevin did everything to make our stay comfortable.
Location: It’s right on 41st and everything you need is right there, including the ocean and the countless hours you can spend watching the surfers or strolling the coast. Restaurants and shops are steps away, but the pad is tucked quietly in behind, off the street. Also, Kevin and his family just opened up the Pointside market, which is a perfect complement to the house (warehouse?). Get the bacon at Pointside, so good.
The place: Everything is done well here. The surf and skate themed art and memorabilia is tasteful and even after a month, we were still finding cool pieces. The kitchen is commercial feeling, with a huge fridge, stainless sink and over-sized concrete countertop.
There’s two bedrooms to the one side. Great parent / kids setup or the bunks would serve as a perfect crash pad after (and when allowed) an event. The beds are basic but linens and sheets were great (and towels might I add).
The star of this show is the entertaining space though. From the concrete bar, to the ‘cafe’ feeling round tables, to the copious amounts of comfortable seating in front of the projector. Yes, a projector. Christmas movies will never be the same.
The games room was a nice addition to wind down with some beers (which are available on tap if you line it up...highly recommend).
The bathroom is big and the outdoor showers were an eye opener for us. Loved them (two! side by side!); was surreal at times to just be staring into the sky with a hot, high pressure shower in a private little side area. Almost spa feeling to it.
The outdoor space: Lush and comfortable. Lots of sitting space and worked at the picnic table a few days. Firepit is perfect and the bbq is huge. We used the outdoor space a lot. It was too inviting not to.
Overall, my recommendation is to GET HERE. It’s such a unique experience. Sad to leave, but planning our return already. Thanks so much to Kevin and his brother!
