The lookout above the boathouse was precious, to see lots of bird stopping by. Both the guided garden tour and house tour were very informative. I love botanic , so I like the garden tour. I like art , even though not much history, but the history helped me understand how this place was preserved. Dont miss out the tile-pursian-carpet , in the house tour. I was stunned and impressed by tile art. however, no photo can be taken inside the house.

Beautiful architecture and surroundings. This property is not accessible from the State Beach as it is fenced off. One will need to enter from the Pacific Coast Highway. Definitely worth the visit.
