Tonys Blog
Renovations have finally begun at our new office location coming soon in the heart of Riviera Village and Im extremely enthusiastic about the vision of a workplace where were able to display the latest in Real Estate services within the confines of a swank new environment (officially, Beach City Brokers second office location). And with all the busy happenings in my life with several transactions in escrow, even more folks in the process of making initial steps to make their move, launching new targeted consumer webs sites, managing agents, making it home to dinner on time, making decisions with my wife of where we plan to put our daughter in school, dealing with a fractured elbow (the first ever serious injury in our young household).. the list goes on... its a wonder that my brain even has the capacity to dream about the new offices whatsoever! Its an amazing phenomena when you think about it, yet when a life is so severely effected by something so gratifying like a move, the happy emotions seems to engulf 90% of an individuals free capacity. Its an incredible responsibility to be a part of that happy emotional journey and I wanted to take this weeks blog and send my most sincere gratitude to my supportive wife who not only affords me the patience to be able to do my job well but, as well, is empathetic to my clients emotional rides.

SOUTH BAY HISTORY TIDBITS


MASTHEAD
HISTORY OF THE PALOS VERDES SCHOOL SYSTEM BY MAUREEN MEGOWAN / RE/MAX ESTATE PROPERTIES

PUBLISHER Warren J Dow ASSOCIATE PUBLISHER Christopher Matalone

CREATIVE DIRECTOR Amanda Nelson-Sinagra DIGITAL MEDIA SPECIALIST Kieron McKay

Palos Verdes school students, prior to 1925, attended schools in Redondo Beach, which was then part of the Los Angeles City School District. A separate Palos Verdes school district was created in 1925, however it was only for grades K-8. The first school constructed, in 1926 in Malaga Cove, housed all school grades from elementary school through eighth grade, with high school students continuing to attend schools in Redondo Beach. During the construction of Malaga Cove School, students temporarily attended classes in the Gardiner Building in Malaga Cove Plaza. Palos Verdes High School was originally planned and constructed as a six year school for grades 7 through 12 by the Los Angeles School District in 1960, but when the Palos Verdes Unified School District was formed

SENIOR STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER


Paul Jonason

to include high schools as well as grade school students, the partially completed campus of Palos Verdes High was converted to a high school in 1961 as the first high school of the Palos Verdes Unified School District. When the school opened, construction was not complete. Some classes had to be held in the lunch area and others met in the school buses. (PVPUSD owned a large fleet of yellow school buses at that time.) Originally, the school had a print shop and an auto shop, but both were never used for those purposes. Prior to the opening of Palos Verdes High School, high school students on the Peninsula attended such schools as Redondo Union High and Narbonne High. Rolling Hills High School opened in the fall of 1964 for grades nine through eleven. Seniors stayed at Palos Verdes High School. Miraleste High opened in 1968.

DIGITAL MEDIA

In 1991, due to declining high school enrollment, the three high schools were consolidated on the campus of Rolling Hills High School, and renamed Palos Verdes Peninsula High School. Peninsula High School was the name that was supposed to have been given to the 4th high school that had originally been planned to be built on 35 acres across Highridge Rd. from Ridgecrest Intermediate School. However, that school was never built, 10 acres was developed as Highridge Park, and 25 acres was sold for $6,000,000 to a developer in 1986 (which caused quite a fervor since many thought it was below market value) and so when the consolidated high school was named, it got the Peninsula High name. At the time of consolidation, Palos Verdes High and Miraleste High were converted to intermediate schools, and the former intermediate schools at Malaga Cove and Margate were closed and temporarily leased to other preschools and prep schools. When Palos Verdes High school was reopened in 2002 (with just freshman and sophomores), Verdes and the school at Margate was reopened as Palos

Maureen Megowan
- SUNNY McBRIDE

I never understood how complex the job of being a realtor could be until I worked with Maureen Megowan. She worked tirelessly to assist me before, during and after the sale of my home and the purchase of my new home. It took a month to prepare my home to be put on the market. She orchestrated the remodeling and staging of my home so that it showed like a jewel. Closing the sale required a delicate dance. She was the force which made it all happen. The purchase of my new home required creative financing. She helped to guide me along that path. I cannot thank Maureen enough for the endless hours she spent helping me and my family. I highly refer Maureen Megowan and would absolutely use her again.

HOUSING PRICES ARE GROWING AS FAST AS THEY DID BEFORE THE BUBBLE BURST
Since January 2013, the S&P/Case-Shiller indexes, which measure housing prices, have risen at their fastest rate since 2006, before the housing bubble burst. Prices are still around 30% less than they were in their peak days, but Forbes cites research like that of the Barclays Economic Team to estimate that, in general, US home process will go up an additional 6-7% on average in the remainder of 2013. Barclays points out that sales of newly constructed homes went up 13% from December 2012 to January 2013. Growth is steady, but there are still about 2 million homes underwater or in foreclosure, which banks are holding onto tightly and have not been put on the market yet.

Manhattan Beach Three-Story Homes


On March 19th, 2013, the Manhattan Beach City Council upheld, for a second time, a decision made by the Manhattan Beach Planning Commission on March 6th to allow a Manhattan Beach resident to build a three-story home at 301/303 25th St. Some neighbors fear that the three-story home will block their ocean views and have opposed the permit since October 2012, though it complies with zoning laws. Does this mean well be seeing more three-story residential homes in our oldest, smallest beach city neighborhoods?

RE/MAX

Sandra Sanders
Owner & Founder, RE/MAX Estate Properties W RITTEN BY: HEI D I WA LT ER
Sandra Sanders founded RE/MAX Palos Verdes in the 1980s after working as an agent since 1974. Then, as the business grew and merged into other surrounding areas like San Pedro and Redondo Beach, the name RE/MAX Palos Verdes just didnt accurately describe the company anymore. Eventually, after adding the rest of the beach cities to the roster, Sanders changed the name to RE/MAX Estate Properties. With 600 agents, and 15 local offices (13 are residential and two are commercial), RE/ MAX Estate Properties handles more than 50% of the business on the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Her sons James and John are business partners and her daughter Diane is also a part of the family business, and she hopes that her grandchildren will be, too. Now, RE/MAX Estate Properties has a brand new imprint: The RE/MAX Collection. This high-end luxury division only features properties with a sales tag of over $1.5 Million. This comes on the heels of RE/Max Estate Properties being awarded the RE/MAX total volume multi-office achievement award for having reached a goal of almost $3 Billion in 2012. The Sanders are opening a new building in Manhattan Beach, currently being remodeled, along with a new building in Marina del Rey. Were recruiting a lot of people, says Sanders, who recently added 40 new agents to her fold. I worked very hard for a lot of years. And Ive been very very lucky. I have been in the right spot at the right time to recruit agents we constantly try to give our agents every tool and benefit to be productive. If you are fair and honest and try very hard and work very hard, people want to work for you. Along with their recent additions, RE/MAX has included new technology like Street Advisor to their websites, and provides many tools for all RE/MAX agents to stay competitive in todays highly high-tech market. We have a training room in our Hawthorne building where we train 5 days a week. We have networking meetings almost every day. We have sales meetings. We constantly have somewhere for our agents to go, to network and to learn. We want our agents to be somewhere productive. As far as local Peninsula developments and business, Sanders is excited about the local economy. The St. John Fisher Catholic Church buildings in Palos Verdes are currently being upgraded; Marymount College is now a four-year college, with rumors of upcoming Masters programs. Sanders is excited about the luxurious local Terranea Resort, which is doing incredible business as a vacation destination. Its very popular with locals as well as out-of-towners, she says. Also of note is that the Peninsula Center shopping center has been sold to new owners and should be stocked with new businesses soon. Sanders knows the local buyers and property owners on the Peninsula very well; she finds that the unique flavor of the Peninsula is due mostly to its residents, which she describes as highly intelligent, and conservative. In relating to us why the Peninsula is sought-after as a destination for homeowners, she replies that the community is relatively safe, the weather is wonderful, the schools are fantastic, and the people are really nice and its beautiful.

Soaks up the Sun and Sand in the South Bay

Walsh Jennings

WRITTEN BY: Q U IN N R OBERTS

LO CAL PEOPLE

Reflecting back on her beach volleyball career, Kerri Walsh Jennings cant help but be amazed at the experiences and success shes attained. As a three-time Olympic Gold medalist and one of the most decorated beach volleyball players of all-time, Walsh Jennings isnt done yet. South Bay Digs caught up with her on the sand in Manhattan Beach to talk about her love of the South Bay, her growing family and just how excited she is to get back to playing volleyball.

What do you like about living in Manhattan Beach?

KWJ: I love the small town feel. It reminds me of where I grew up

in Northern California. There is such a great community spirit here

and is very family oriented. Manhattan Beach is also considered combination of everything that is near and dear in our life.

the birth place of beach volleyball, so I just feel like it is the perfect

How would you compare the volleyball scene in the South Bay to other beaches and cities across the country?

KWJ: Here it is a lifestyle. Other places it is more novel. People

are always playing on the sand; it is an every day occurrence. It play every day. I just love the fact that it is a normal thing locals do to stay fit and active. When the tournaments do come to many people.

doesnt matter if it is foggy, raining or if it is beautiful, people

town, there is always so much support. It is relatable for so

Whats the energy like and how does it feel when you compete in local tournaments? KWJ: It is much more intense when competing in the South

Bay. The tournaments and footprint are bigger. They have been around for so long, and the support from the public, its loud and rowdy. They understand the gravity of how big the tournaments are. It is kind of like our Superbowl. It is that legit and storied. People love to be apart of it.

What are some of your favorite spots on the beach and in town to hangout at?

KWJ: We moved a little over a year ago to Manhattan Beach in this little triangle for the past 10 years and havent found a bad spot yet. I love training here. I used to do it just north of the Manhattan Beach Pier before London. It feels private, but is a very public beach. People would always come and watch. I love all of the shops in Metlox. I am so in to shopping, so it is a

from Hermosa, and before that lived in Redondo, so weve been

blessing and a curse to live in this town. You can go to so many places and have fun!

LO CAL PEOPLE

Do you play volleyball with your kids and hope theyll be involved in sports as they get older, especially volleyball? KWJ: The beach is our playground. We are here a lot and not just for our jobs. After school, the kids love to come here. Well play volleyball, soccer, baseball, all sports really. Ironically, Im not much of a water girl, but Im working on it. It could be a freezing cold day and the boys will be in there. Im excited for our daughter to become apart of that. How hard is it to balance having a family and being a professional beach volleyball player? KWJ: It has been the best thing ever. It has taken me outside of myself. Part of the nature of being an athlete is being focused on yourself. It is crazy how self involved you can get. Not that it is a bad thing, but I was just so sick of worrying about myself, so to have what we have now is such a beautiful thing. My whole life Ive wanted to be a working mom. And to have the relationship I do with my husband and chase crazy dreams together, we have that and we work really hard at it. It is overwhelming sometimes, but this is what we want. My parents were great role models. Do you have the itch to get back and compete again? KWJ: Im ready. I was dead tired after London. We had a few tournaments after that and I felt like I had a great year. Ive been staying very fit and active and gave my body to the pregnancy. Im doing the same things, but the intensity and intention is different. I just cant wait to have that goal and focus back. I love chasing things. This has been a great focus. When its time to go to work, I cant wait! Ive had this sense of urgency and desire to get back, but I dont want to sprint. I want to enjoy this time and not worry about kicking peoples butts right away. Have you begun to think about the 2016 Olympics in Brazil? Will it be weird not to have Misty by your side? KWJ: I definitely have. My goal and dream is to beat one of their teams for the gold medal match. I want to beat the Brazilians on their home turf. I started thinking about that right when I left London. It is such an exciting prospect and I have much time between now and then, but it goes by in a heartbeat. Weve done this

routine before, but every four years is different. I am really looking forward to the whole process, the good and the tough. It has been so worthwhile. It will be bittersweet not to have Misty there, but it is what it is. Once I get on that sand and it officially isnt with Misty, it will be sad. With that being said, we had the most amazing career together and Im so excited to see her chase the dream of starting a family. Well be doing so much more together off of the court. She lives in Long Beach, but sometimes it feels like she lives along the East Coast because we dont connect as much. Well talk here and there. The love is like a family member, you dont have to see them all the time. I love her and am such a big fan of hers.

We have great athletes and the fields seem so much deeper. However, our domestic standing is really sad. The AVP is coming back this year though and they are planning really big things. The sport has had ebbs and flows and if the domestic situation for our sport was better, I would be so happy. My mission for the next few years is to get the sport to where it should be in the mainstream and keep it there forever. I see myself as an ambassador for the game and just love it so much. I am really trying to fight for the integrity and stability of the sport. Im seeing it from every single angle and it really is such an amazing sport that I dont know why we cant be stable here in the states. We need to change that. I love that I am an ambassador and role model. I take it really seriously. When you were younger, did you ever imagine youd be this successful? KWJ: That isnt something you think about until it happens to you. I always wanted to be successful and have worked really hard for that. Ive been able to surround myself with amazing people and feel really blessed. I was raised in a very athletic family and knew I wanted to be an athlete, and once I found volleyball, I knew I wanted to go as far as I could. I pictured the Olympics at some point, but not the rest of it. What is the life of a professional athlete? I still dont know. Now I have the best of both. Im living my dream on and off the court. What are your plans like for the future? KWJ: I feel like the best is yet to come and thats why I still want to keep playing. People kept asking me why

My whole life Ive wanted to be a working mom.


When you look back on your career, what memories stick out the most? KWJ: Winning is wonderful, but my favorite time with her was our first year together. We were both rookies and really grew up together. Then, fast forward 10 years and our last two years together were really special. When we reconnected, it was really special. We were more invested emotionally. It was less a job and felt deeper and really special. How much has the sport changed from when you first started competing? KWJ: In many ways, the sport has evolved in a really great way. Around the world, the sport is so much more popular.

I didnt hang it up after London. Its because I know I have more in me and better in me. I want to see what that looks like. Im excited for the challenge of a new partner however bittersweet it may be initially. I definitely have a few girls in mind. I havent made anything official, partly because I am so preoccupied. The girls Im thinking of are partnered up for the year. That conversation will be had when it is the best time, but little conversations have taken place. Whoever I do wind up with, I want them to challenge me and compliment me and the girls Im thinking of do that. I know theyll make me better. I cant wait to find that chemistry and rhythm again. It is a really fun challenge and you grow so much from it, so Im excited.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT KAMINSKY REAL ESTATE GROUP

Ed Kaminsky
I knew Ed was one of the most active agents in the area, so when we started working with him I thought he might be too busy for us. I was pleasantly surprised to find out he was there for us morning, noon and night, every step of the way. I dont think he sleeps. He is organized, a great negotiator and his team was spectacular. - Paul K., Manhattan Beach

Tina Kaminsky
My wife and I had already spent three or four months monitoring the online listing sites and visiting open houses on our own before we decided to enlist the services of a buyers agent. We felt confident that Tina and Ed understood what we were looking for and over the next few months they worked with us, developing our understanding of the local market and helping us hone our own priorities as we visited listing after listing. They brought us an opportunity that checked off several of our must-haves, but was located in a section of Manhattan Beach that we had not seriously considered. After spending a few hours in the neighborhood, we knew it was perfect. We put together an offer over the weekend and although we found ourselves in a multiple bid situation, by Thursday we were in escrow. - M. Fransciso, Manhattan Beach

Becky Davidson
If youre looking for an amazing Realtor, Becky Davidson is it! My husband and I just bought our first home and couldnt be more thrilled. Beckys professionalism, knowledge of the market and enthusiasm made the process go very smoothly. Right from our first meeting, I knew she understood our needs and was totally committed to helping us find our perfect new home. Becky always made herself available to us by email, phone or text. We never had to wait long to get an answer to our questions or a follow up on an issue. Another quality that makes her a stand out agent is that she never pressured us into the wrong home. Who needs the added stress of second guessing such an important decision? If we are ever in the market again, we will definitely be calling Becky. - Ivonne and Sal Huertas, Redondo Beach

STACI BROOKS
When we decided it was time to buy our first home to support our growing family, we really didnt know where to begin. We couldnt have been more fortunate to connect with Staci, who not only found us the perfect house but also helped us through every step of the process. We had many specific needs, including space for a home office, a quiet street, a house that required very little maintenance (we arent very handy!) and she found us the needle-in-ahaystack that fulfilled them all. She both brought us to a fantastic house and helped us get a great price as well. We love it and will absolutely be recommending her to our friends in the South Bay who are buying a home. - Ryan Leach & Lydia Veilleux

LO OKING BACK

Strand and has been in the same family for almost 100 years. The current owner and resident, Victoria Marchant Mann, will celebrate her 96th birthday on June 21. With 23 grandchildren, 47 great grandchildren, and six great-great grandchildren in the family -- all of whom enjoy visiting their longtime family home -- Ms. Marchant Manns historic residence is rarely without laughter and shared memories.

Some Craftsman and Victorian elements can be seen in the homes design, both of which were common in homes throughout the

All in the Family


The Mann Home is thought to have been built in 1902 or 1911. The home was then purchased in 1919 by Thomas Marchant, a circuit court judge whose office was located above the old Hermosa Beach police station on Hermosa Avenue. The home was originally a 3-bedroom, 1-1/2 bathroom with an upstairs porch located on the back side. Reportedly, due to so many visitors and the growing popularity of the area, an apartment and maids quarters were added in 1921. The porch was eventually enclosed to create a fourth bedroom. The home currently features four bedrooms and two bathrooms, and is approximately 1800-2000 square feet. Set on a lot and a half, the home retains many charming exterior characteristics of the time. Typical period details include clapboard siding and an exterior chimney. Changes have been made over the of the family still lives in Southern California. We all enjoy visiting the house and we love the beach, says Suzanne Larkin, Hermosa Beach resident and granddaughter of Ms. Marchant Mann. Most of the family is scattered throughout California, and locally in Redondo, Torrance, and San Pedro. Every year there are fewer of these classic homes left in our South Bay, particularly on the popular Strand. Go for a bike ride on the Strand on any given day, and you will see new construction, and larger, grand homes, with the occasional small beach cottage here and there. These small cottages, usually with tons of personality, help to preserve our unique South Bay history and remind us of a simpler time in our beach community.

VILLA BALINA VIA PANORAMA

915 VIA PANORAMA, PALOS VERDES ESTATES


Villa Balina, originally built as a family legacy, was constructed on one of the most pre-eminent streets of the Peninsula. Offering a Pacific Ocean view resembling its streets namesake, it is ensconced on a hillside surrounded by magical trees planted throughout the years. This residence has an awe-inspiring appeal of an ocean view estate that if one could, one should take the opportunity to own at least once in their lifetime. The front exterior features an expansive semi-circular drive, a stately and custom wrought iron gated entry area with fountain, a priceless porte cochere and elevated arched walkways. The traditional floor plan and amenities were years ahead of their time with all 5 bedrooms upstairs, and the first floor featuring a view from each living space with a Victorian fireplace, a huge hearth fireplace and perfectly placed French doors. The completely private pool is immediately adjacent to the family room. Also, what quite possibly could be the most special part of the home is the downstairs office and entertaining media area which lead to the grand outdoor patio overlooking the entire Santa Monica Bay. This home has hosted everyone and everything from significant franchise decisions of national importance to the most resplendent of weddings.

deckstool
C R E A T E S S K A T E R - F R I E N D LY F U R N I T U R E
WRITTEN BY: QUIN N R OBERTS
Jason Podlaski has been skateboarding for as long as he can remember. Yet, the same thing continued to happen as Podlaski and his friends rode their boards: they broke. Thats when Podlaski, the founder of deckstool, had an idea. Hed create furniture out of the broken skateboards. Sitting on that thought for a few years, it wasnt until 2010 that Podlaski began manufacturing recycled skateboard furniture in Clifton Heights, Pennsylvania. I love the skateboard graphics and markings, Podlaski said. That is the core beauty of the skateboard. You think about what went into the board and the passion that was infused into the material. Its pretty neat when you see it turn into something. Podlaski first started out creating stools ($199.99) that use between 2 K to 4 K boards. He has now moved onto benches ($749.99-$899.99) that use between 4 to 8 boards. The amount of boards used for each piece is determined by its size and how each board broke. Hes even begun making magnets ($20) and keychains ($10) from the recycled boards and is considering making a line of clocks. Ive never seen anything where FOR MORE INFO, VISIT: DECKSTOOL.COM they take advantage of the entire board, Podlaski said. That is something that we do. It may be a big process, but it is definitely worth it. Podlaski starts out each piece by sorting the boards based on how they broke. He cleans them, cuts the parts, sands the edges and then does the heavy labor (drill holes, etc.) before the furniture is complete and ready to sell. While Podlaski gets most of the recycled skateboards from local skate shops and parks in Pennsylvania, interest for his pieces have been everywhere from California to Florida and even Europe. Its his goal to continue the reach of deckstool and begin expanding up and down the East Coast and to places like Wisconsin and Texas. It all started as a side project, Podlaski said. Im shocked that its continued to get bigger. It really gets me excited and committed to continue to build more and make them last.

SHAWN WAS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC... we could have never done it with out his expertise.

Shawn was absolutely fantastic. He helped my husband and I purchase our dream home. We were first time home buyers entering into a very hot market in the beach cities. As you can imagine, we were very daunted by the process and the stories of low inventories, all cash offers, multiple bids... the list goes on! Shawn was patient with us and acted as a trusted ally throughout the home buying process, which is what every home buyer wants to find in an agent. You want someone representing your best interests and not just the deal. After we found out home, he made the process simple. One aspect that I particularly loved was how Shawn used Docusign. This service allowed us to sign the plethora of documents electronically and limited the drain on our time, which is something I valued immensely. He also made sure we had all our loose ends tied up so we were able to close on time and without issue. Further, since we were first time buyers, we needed the extra hand holding. As such, Shawn was extremely helpful in answering all of our questions and made sure our minds were at ease. We just moved in and are loving our home! We could never have done it without Shawn and his expertise - many thanks! - AC

WHAT CLIENTS ARE SAYING ABOUT BOB LANE...


Bob found us the perfect lot and we have now built our dream house! He helped get the lot we wanted in a multiple bid situation and then he helped us sell our condo. In both transactions, he always listened to us carefully, gave us honest and direct feedback, and offered very seasoned advice on how to get the result we wanted. Buying and selling property is always intense but Bob made sure the process was easy and effective. He has a sterling reputation in the Beach Cities and count ourselves lucky to have worked with him.

Recent Client Testimonial:


My wife and I just closed on our refinance through Watermark Home Loans after wanting to refinance for quite some time. A friend of ours told us of Regan Hagestad with Watermark with whom she and her husband had recently refinanced.We gave Regan a call and he posed several options to us, one of which had not before been posed to us.The processing of the loan was painless, all of the explanations and updates throughout the process were user-friendly and before we knew it, we had funded and our monthly savings was underway. We are eager to refer our friends and colleagues to Watermark and look forward to others experiencing the same professionalism we experienced.

- Matt and Jennifer

Transparency and solutions are the foundation of my success, and I promise both to each and every client. While other lenders focus on feel good services, I focus on the financing. In an industry that hasnt had a great reputation over the past few years, I take pride in knowing that Ive gained the trust and respect of my clients. In todays market the most important thing when obtaining a home loan is the mortgage professional you work with and the resources that they have at their disposal. Whether you have a simple conventional purchase, or a complex Jumbo transaction, feel free to call me at anytime and find out why Watermark is right for you.

Marketing that Yields Results

in just over a week from a buyer who saw the advertisement in DIGS...

DIGS targeted audience media platform continues to prove itself as the best form of advertising in the South Bay! I cant thank you enough for the incredible marketing package and high-definition YouTube video DIGS created for my home. I had more calls from the Cover Ad in DIGS Magazine than from realtors on the MLS. As a realtor, I want exposure for the client and the best bang for the buck, and as a seller, I want advertising that works!! DIGS WORKS! In fact, we sold the home in just over a week from a buyer who saw the advertisement in DIGS. Thanks again, DIGS!

Is this the very best vacation rental on The Strand right now? We think it might be. This private residence, available for lease at $30,000 a month, has some amazing amenities such as a threestop elevator, 5-car parking, a two-story foyer, and a private, gated entrance, but it is the wraparound balcony providing a panoramic view of the Hermosa Beach sand and surf that really

SOUTHBAYDIGS.COM | 4.12.2013

White, wide stretches of pristine beach are literally next door. This is the kind of breathtaking beauty that makes Strand properties so desirable.

Nearly every room has a window facing the open water, including the bathrooms. One could soak in the tub while gazing at and listening to the rolling blue waves outside the door.

Privacy and the sweet smell of the sea can be had at only a 30-day lease if you want to spend a summer month indulging in the local beauty of the beach cities. This property is listed by Susan Sweeney at Shorewood Realtors.
Surf and water-oriented dcor such as surfboards in the living room and blue-swirled paint on the

bathroom walls reminds one of the swaying ocean waves just a few| steps from the patio.
